Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
i got a job offer with a pay more than my current pay. but, moving from one state to another (florida to california) with state tax and increased housing cost, i am losing money. i need atleast 15% more to even think about this. is it okay to negotiate and then turn down the offer if i am not happy?
Duh
But I like the new job and they are not willing to offer 15% more
Do they relocate you? Will be open to leave that job after a year?
They pay for relocation no they are not open to leaving the job after a year
Lol what? You're the one that decides to leave after 1 year
Definitely negotiate... Where in Cali are you moving to? It matters a lot. Look at COL calculators to get an idea. Also, do you have any real state you would need to sell? Many things to consider.
Santa Barbara and I checked COL. it is 22% higher than Florida. I own a house (still in mortgage) in Florida
The online calculators can be misleading, it depends on your housing situation. Cost differential is smaller if you are living in a small apartment vs big house in a good neighborhood. CA is expensive, there are other states with cities with better pay to CoL ratios.
Do you think I should take the low pay?
They are joking. Everyone on blind negotiates hard for maxxxx TC
Why would you compromise on pay? You're going to be renting in CA and paying your mortgage at home? I say keep interviewing until something comes along that makes sense. Don't compromise, unless this is the best you can get.
Florida housing is cheep compared to CA. If it's a software engineer job and it isn't at least $100k you're going to have a hard time. (After taxes $100k in CA is $69k). LA area housing, you can get a 1 bedroom apartment for about $1300/no if you're thrifty.
Santa Barbara is very expensive area. Housing is very expensive.
Yeah I am going to try negotiating again and if it doesn’t look right, I will have to turn down the offer. They are offering 80k per year
80k is shit in the bay
Exactly and company is arguing that it’s the market value for my job and all competitors offer same pay
