Base is around 65k with 8% bonus and other benefits. YOE is around 1 (graduated last year) Should I be looking at moving companies for the Southeast? Work life balance is good though.
Living expense is different 300~800$ per month for a good apartment and live with yourself In BayArea 1400$ with roommates Condo will usually go over 2100$ per month For car gasoline Raleigh always move around 2.X Bay Area 3.8~4
Move to Seattle. Pay is 2x but there is no state tax so your income and savings will increase significantly. The only downside will be housing cost but it should not matter too much to you now as you are a single. You mat lose work life balance a bit though.
Yes - move to Deutsche Bank in Raleigh. They will definitely pay better
Yah ur under comped
Sounds right for triangle for a new grad
If I left for another company in the area what do you think i could get?
It’s been years since I moved but talking to people I know, just a few companies which would pay significantly more. I’d say 10-15k can be reasonable but won’t have a lot of options. I know guys with PhD making 80s there
Considering I’m in even more of a backwater, and make $110 TC with 2 yoe (killer w/l balance); yeah, seems low.
Nice. I'm motivated to go lol
$65k with 1 year exp is very good in Raleigh. You can def shop around and push it to $75k. There’s Microsoft in Raleigh that pays $90k ish to new grad.
are yo kidding ? They pay more than that here in Phoenix
Assuming you’re a SWE? Underpaid then. Otherwise, no.
Yep, swe
Maybe try Atlanta.
Waiting for comments like, “wtf, it costs 65k to maintain my dog”
