For personal reasons (being divorced) I am optimizing on maximizing the base salary rather than getting higher bonus/equity. (I need to pay fixed support off my base while the support on the bonus is a percentage). In SoCal with 15 years of experience as an SWE which (tech) companies would offer me the highest base?
Netflix
How much is the alimony and support if u don’t mind sharing
The number is not that interesting, basically half of my salary goes to her through fixed payments and cut from the bonus.
alimony or gtfo
This is why mgtow exists. Imagine having to optimize your life on these variables
Do you need to share your ESPP and 401k contributions? I suggest you get back with her to avoid the financial pain.....or move to some Middle Eastern country that has no extradition treaty! 👍
401k balance was split, which was pretty screwed up. Splitting ongoing contributions? Hell no.
Snap?
Surprisingly salaries have been going up rapidly across the board. Many of my colleagues at startups in SoCal are getting $200+ base. Many have moved down from the Bay Area in the last year or two (and more coming!)
$200k+ at a startup? Any specific company names? How many YOE are they coming in with? If it's more than 1-2, I suppose it's not too crazy. Leetcode interviews?
Move to a Google office in low COL country. You can easily live off half the salary because Google pays better and remaining amount that you will be giving is less for COL in US.

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me ‘a look’ because I tipped her 10% for ‘BAD service!’

You should just join citadel for 500k base
Citadel gives high bonus, which is not in OP’s interests.
