The end of Backdoor Roth?!
Looking to get advice on comp eval. I’m a Sr Marketing Manager in Sea. TC: 145k YOE: 7 I’m slightly content where I’m at but interviewed as layoffs were happening in the org. Mgmt has assured my team that layoffs are done but I hesitate to trust the market. I really am leaning toward Samsung but haven’t heard the best about comp growth, career growth, and WLB but would get to do interesting things. Also fear a recession and idk if Samsung is strong enough to weather a storm. Any advice or experience with these companies will help. Option 1: CURRENT Sr. Marketing Manager for Expedia in SEA. TC: ~$145k (125K + Bonus + $2500RSU/annual). In office 3 days. (IC) Option 2: Marketing Manager for Samsung in Plano, TX. Samsung - TC: ~130k (108k + Bonus). In office 3 days. (IC) Option 3: Sr Marketing Manager at an agency in LA. TC: ~ 146k (110K + Bonus + 20k Sign on). In office 3 days. (People MGR) Option 4: Marketing Manager at Disney Streaming in LA. TC: ~ 130K (115K + Bonus). In office 2 days. (IC)
Where in SEA? In SG, you will want more cash. Location sort of matters for SEA.
@vwHe77 I’m in EastLake
don’t forget california has state tax. those LA jobs means significant pay cut. But I hate rainy seattle. If you don’t mind, maybe just stay where you are now. also texas is very conservative compared with lefty seattle. are you sure you can adapt the change? and it’s too hot in summer. relocation is more than just career and comp.
Thank, @ulu! Yeah I think LA is kinda on the lower end of my choice because of state tax + high COL. Great city but eh :/ I wish TC was higher
Not worth the move for all your offer options. Stay at current
^ this. You should be trying to pull 200k tc with that many yoe
@hohohooh is that common? I’m in brand marketing and honestly highest I’ve ever interviewed for is 170TC and that was with a 40K sign on Y1 and 35K Y2. Do you know what companies, industries and roles offer that?
why would you even think of changing when your current TC is higher?
I’m looking at it from a lens of stability and ability to do exciting work that will propel my career later. These locations are different so COL adjusted in some places makes savings about the same. I’m happy with where I’m at financially but really want to find a stable company that offers exciting work.
is that case absolutely make sense to move on.
Congratulations on the offers, OP! Personally, none of these offers are enough to move, especially in this market where you’ll likely be a disadvantage from joining an organization. One in the hand is worth two in the bush, and unless these offers have anything significant that would make you jump such as career growth or WLB, I think you’re better off staying at Expedia. With that being said, I think either Samsung or Disney are better choices, as they are relatively stable companies and can survive a downturn. However, be aware that these companies have done layoffs before, especially Disney who laid off 30,000+ employees back in 2020. Samsung is a more stable bet in that regard. It is likely the agency may be vulnerable due to their client base and their budgets, but if their clients are in a stable industry, then that would make it a better offer than either Samsung or Disney. Before you join, I would ask how they forecast Q4 for this year and 2023, especially since layoffs are abound. Hopefully this helps. Good luck! TC: 62K
Hey TWG, thanks for the positivity! I think the best thing about Samsung is having the ability to work on high profile campaigns with recognizable products. Thinking if I put time in there I can make the jump to companies like Apple or Google somewhere down the line.
Anytime, friend. Samsung could very well lead to companies such as Apple and Google down the line. I should also add that the agency option depends on which client you work with. As part of working at an agency, I only work with one main client (which is notable) that has experienced layoffs in the past and within its industry, so that’s also something to consider. With that being said, Samsung seems to be the best option for you, OP.
