How is an engineering position at each of these company's similar/different to each other? I know that T-Mobile is in Seattle, AT&T is in Dallas and Verizon is in NY. Does this mean AT&T ppl get paid less than everyone else?
AT&T is all over the place, and I mean that literally - the team I work with has people in Dallas, St Louis, Chicago, New Jersey, San Ramone, San Francisco, and a few people in Florida.
Same for TMO. I'm sure all the carriers have offices across the country. Though job options may be limited by where individual teams are located (some teams are in multiple places)
Your pay is adjusted based on that area's cost of living. You won't make the same within these companies doing the same job but in different states. Vz has large offices in many states; TX, CA, VA, NJ, NY, etc. If you're looking to climb the corp management ladder stay close to the HQ. Otherwise, at least for Vz, you have many locations that you can work out of based on that team's preferences.
You still have VP and SVP in some channels at regional offices. Depends on how high you want to go. If you’re legacy Bellsouth VP in low(er) CoL Atlanta metro and making $160k + 40% annual bonus + annual RSU grant (exec deferred comp), you’d be NUTS to move to NYC.
Well Verizon just tried to convert a bunch of their IT guys in contractors so....I wouldn’t go with them. AT&T on the other hand is going in the right direction and trying bring more of their software development back in house
They didn't "try" - they did it. Also IT != SWE. That said, certainly there are better jobs out there?
