Offer from Citadel yesterday: $150k base, $25k target bonus, $20k signing. I’ve heard better before but I don’t have any competing offers yet - still scheduling onsites for a bunch of companies and I doubt any of them can offer as much as Citadel does. Location - either Chicago or NYC Current TC: ~150k all in, YoE < 1 year, SWE. Advice/thoughts?
YoE? Location? Is this SWE?
Updated parent. Yes SWE
Take it, 200k all in for less than one year is amazing and a very competitive offer. Congrats! Also choose NYC over Chicago, lot of exit options for finance tech in NY
Agreed
Why you leaving 🍌 already
Cuz he got a better offer
Only better if Chi-town
How was their interviews?
I've worked both in the NYC and Chicago offices. Chicago will have the most diverseness opportunities inside Citadel. Also, significantly lower cost of living, lower taxes, and shorter commute (you can walk to work). You can always move to NYC for a different job. Chicago winter's suck though. And NYC is a much better city.
NYC cost of living is MUCH, much higher than Chicago. Your comp will go much further in Chicago.
You can live within a 10 minute walk of the office in chicago ez with that money
I work within 10 min of my office in Boston with the money I make now...
This offer looks low
What was the interview process like at citadel?
YOE ?
