Public company San Fran 210k TC Or Private company NY 125k TC Why? Current TC: 92k in Raleigh, NC YOE: 1.5
TC breakdown would help.
ny if you're young or single
^This!
92 in Raleigh will be better off. With cost of living in NYC and sf
Raleigh sucks tho .
Are both opportunities in technology? If in tech, SF will probably have more options for your career long-term. If any other industry except tech, NY for sure. Why? Better quality of life for your dollars, better opportunities for nearly every industry if you aren’t tied to tech, and if you want a city experience then NYC living is a must-experience. In NYC, If you wanted to save money you could go to the NY/NJ/CT suburbs and the prices are much better for housing with fairly good commuting options into the city. In SF Bay Area, there are very few areas in good commuting distance that are still affordable and nice.
Both are tech companies. Yeah I’d like to try NYC but I guess I’ll have to wait a bit since I think SF will be a better move for my career
With this little detail, do you really need another reason besides the extra 85k in TC?
Just making sure life in SF is not too bad compared to in NY
125K TC in NYC is less than 92K TC in Raleigh. With 210K TC, you’ll at least live about even to 92k TC in Raleigh. Your apartment maybe smaller in SF than Raleigh though.
