Offer at Austin based company: Base: 170k RSU: 10k per year (next 3 years) Bonus: 15% of base 401k: yes ESPP: yes Total TC: ~200k Yoe: 12 Current TC: 160k Current Location: San Diego Any thoughts ?
Sounds good. You're saving California tax. Welcome to Mexico.
200k in Austin is like 350k in California considering housing/taxes/family expenses. You just get longer harsher summers instead of cold sea breeze. Is weather worth that much? Depends if you want live like a beach boy or not
San diego is a much better place. You will miss SD weather everyday. I used to be in Austin. Currently in Santa Cruz. Would not advise
Looks good but why even bother offering rsu 10k. I never understood
Agree 10k per year.. need to negotiate that !
Because it's cheaper than 10k more on the base? 🤷🏼♂️
Which company in Austin?
What type of role?
Should be cisco
Honestly San Diego isn't THAT much more expensive than Austin.. and it has the best weather in the world. Austin has a bit more going on as a city IMO, but still, San Diego sounds pretty nice.
Apple in Austin?
Nah! Those RSUs are not worth 10 apple stands. Most likely AMD or silab
Take Austin.
