Should accept 170 K base + 15% bonus yearly for consulting company in California Los Angeles or Florida based software product company at 150 K base + 8% bonus yearly
It might help to consider that a 2.7% bonus in LA with income tax compared to florida which has no state income tax. Then it becomes 175k TC vs 162k TC
Product > consultancy any day.
Depends what you’re looking for and do for work. I enjoyed my consultancy days because the challenges were different every 4-6 months as we won new clients across different business verticals. Also learned how to estimate, sell, and design and build shit in an accelerated timeline compared to my product company experiences. So it was just more fun too. Product Designer here.
Not having income tax in Florida is a huge plus
I reviewed tax and seems I would be saving 9000+ tax there but compare to 170k and bonus would be like 5000+ in California.
You would be living larger in Florida. Would you be happier in CA or FL?
