You can live pretty well in south florida on that, but with 13 years exp I would think you could push for a bit more. Do you want to live in FL, it is a lot different then Seattle...

Negotiation in-progress. Recruiter playing location card. FL salary scale is lower than seattle. And half of my exp is non US. Not sure schedenavian and India exp counted.

I live very close to citrix hq and make 300k tc, before that in this same area I was in the 175-200k. So, no question less then Seattle (Amazon offered me $380k to move to seattle), BUT you should be able to get a bit more. 10-20k more and you are at a top offer for down here...

Only $35k in stocks?

Although the offer is good to live comfortably in south Florida. Looking at your experience. $140 is way too less. Also you’re getting less stocks and no bonus. Negotiate well. And I guess you’re better off staying in Seattle than FL lol

Lol location card. Well 6 yr in US isn’t less. You can take it if it’s around $150K cuz it’s a lot here. Plus def ask for more stocks and sign on bonus. You must get that. What’s your position at Citrix?

Why would you leave MSFT to Citrix for this pay.

Leaving for sunny location... CA and Fl are top on my list

South florida 140k you are living like a king. TRUST ME

Microsoft abshx Jun 4, 2019

Lmao not really, came from Jax and 140k is nice, but you’re definitely not living like a king

Then you my friend are spending too much.

Try to negotiate base closer to 155k. Otherwise is a good offer for South Florida. Of course depends on what you are looking for career wise. If looking to grow career then stay in Seattle If looking for a nice wlb come to Fl - Even if working long hours weather is always nice. #ilivewhereyouvacation Socially there are many options too (not talking about club scene) rather about popular artist, outdoor events, etc...

Recruiter saying south Florida pay scale is lower than Seattle. They are able to match base pay ... but i will be leaving unvested stock

Microsoft Obama2020 Jun 4, 2019

That is true (Fl calendar is lower). I know because I hire people from diferente cities in USA
