Need advice. I'm wondering what to do to break into the next tier of TC. Thinking of Fintech organizations but not sure if that's the right move. Location: Chicago Yoe: 3.5 TC: $200k Education: MS++, some PhD in Math, CS. All top 5 universities including undergrad.
According to Blind, your education is pointless if you can’t leetcode.
We need new strategies man.
Confused are you not an ex googler. Why is your tc that low.
Chicago comp is very low. Cost of living is commensurate.
How do you do some PhD?
i thought 200k in Chicago is great, no?
It is but certainly not best. From what I hear, Citadel pays 7 figures for exact skill set, experience and research.
woah, what skill set is it? I might go back to school again XD
Move to the west coast
Isn't the COL greater than what I can pull out west?
I came out ahead, I think you would too if you run the numbers. But besides comp, it's just a way better place to be in terms of job mobility. Also you won't have to deal with Chicago winters, Chicago drivers, etc but on the other hand the pizza sucks.
