Director of Engineering in Florida with ~1M TC
I need to move to Florida for personal reasons. Currently M2 at Meta in SF with 1.1M TC. Need help shortlisting companies that would pay 900K+ either remotely or working from office somewhere in Florida. I couldn't find many on levels.fyi/linkedIn, so asking here for help. I should be able to switch to Director role as well, depending on the position and if aligns with my past experience.
Magic Leap? š¤·
Go remote
Trying that but haven't been successful
If itās not urgent, just wait it out. If itās urgent then be open and trade off, life is not about only TC !
L4 and my advice is to ask for remote exception at Meta š¤·
Trying that, but might need to change to a different org as my current request got denied
Citadel moved their HQ to Florida. They might pay you that money, but culture is shit
Why would they do that, don't they need to be in Chicago?
No state taxes and more capitalism friendly I assume? They are still in Chicago, just moved their HQ
Is 1.1M with stock appreciation ?
Yes, joined in 2021, so 30% appreciation
Then you need to be looking for offers at your initial grant * CoL adjustment.
Make your own
No directors are able to make shit. Some (a few) were in the past, but you get rusty in the fat cow seat. He might get luckier in institutional paths like becoming a VC. However, Florida lol

Gov contractors if you are willing to lose half (maybe less?) TC
>600k salary?? Need to be more than a middle manager
Worse that can happen is he rejects the offer. Its not like they are going to send him leetcode challenges.
Lol
I knew many people would laugh.. but that's my situation š, have golden handcuffs
