I (6 YOE) am in the final stages for opportinities in Chicago. My wife (4 YOE) is a PM at a public FinTech company in NY. (Had offer from FB, liked culture at fintech)
I was hoping to get some insight into product careers in Chicago. Looking online, Uber is the only big company I see with positions.
Anybody know what public or all cash comp companies have product in Chicago? Our other thought is moving into VC as there are many in Chicago?
Context: Seattle has tech jobs for both of us that will pay, grow career, COL/taxes less. Thinking about 2 year sprint there then to Chicago to settle down as we like culture and have family there.
My TC = 320K (Targeting 400-450 in Chi, L5 equivelent)
Wife TC = 210K

Wife currently interviewing for Amazon L6 Technical PM if that’s helpful
I know this as I live here and I’m a Product Director for a Fortune 100 non-tech company and my TC of ~$280 is always regarded as above and beyond by all my Chicago friends in tech.
But more power to you! Hope you get it, and keep us posted.
If I switch now, I think I could get L5 offers around 400 (https://www.levels.fyi/2019/) at tech companies. Not enough to switch as I enjoy Uber and refreshers will close the gap a bit.
