Austin offer : 155k Seattle offer : 210k ( this includes 15k joining bonus) Both are tier 2 companies, one in tech in Seattle and other in finance. Which one do you think is a better offer. My wife already has a settled job here in Austin. Is it worth to move to Seattle ?
Already married so come to seattle
Seattle
Not worth moving. I am in Seattle and planning to move Austin. If you enjoy traffic and gloomy weather you can consider moving. I will take 165k Austin anyday. I am also looking for referral. Please let me know if you can help me.
Sure, dm me.
Can we trade places?
Seattle. Way more opportunities and growth there.
SEATTLE MAN
Another vote for Seattle. Austin is nice but Seattle has more job opportunities and better outdoors. I lived in Austin for 14 years before moving to Seattle a few years ago.
Yep, that is the biggest factor.
Better outdoors??? Are u kidding... it is gloomy and rainy most of the times. What u get to see here is mountains. Outdoor only for 2 months in a year.
I would vote for austin
Are you looking for career growth or just stable, good pay vs CoL? Seattle has better career prospects obviously, but 155 in Austin is probably better than 210 in Seattle, and if you’re already established in Austin (wife + other family?) it may not be worth the life disruption.
Yep, if it was only me. I would have not even interviewed in Austin. But I have family and my wife really likes her job.
Value of being near family can’t be overstated. Ever having kids? That’s a free babysitter. :p
Seattle sounds no brainer to me.
