Which offer is better and why
Finding it difficult to choose between two Expedia (current job): Location: Bellevue/ Seattle Base : 160K Position: Senior software engineer Joining bonus 10K RSU : 300 vesting for 4 years Bonus: 12.5% Start up: Location: Dania beach Florida Base: 150K Position: Senior software engineer Joining bonus: 10K Bonus: 15K every year Equity: 150 profit interest units- which is 150K on completion of 5 years
In Florida you can buy a mansion with that cash. Bellevue a cottage.
Considering the weather and comparatively low cost of living, you should go for the sunshine state 😌 Plus Seattle is way more dull compared to Florida !!
@bodyswan has compelling argument.
Yes. Cost of living makes the difference but will it make the difference of 10K? I am not sure if it is true that when u go for a job from Seattle to Florida your base goes down
For career and experience then the first. For living expense and quality of life the second option
Living in Florida sounds awesome, and I’ve heard terrible things about Expedia. TC would be the only thing I’d worry about for the 2nd offer.
I think you should take into consideration your long term personal and professional goals as well in making this decision.
If the start up fails after a year, what kind of options would you have in South Florida, or would you be willing to relocate again?
Expedia sounds better for your resume. You can save a few bucks in Florida but personally I would not do it, unless you have personal reasons to be in Florida or love the startup
Seems like a no-brainer to me. The current one outdoes the other in every aspect.
