Not married yet and I have two offers one with more money in a bad city and one with less money in a great city
I'm in late 30s and still single and intending to start a family in the next couple of years ( have not found my future wife yet). Considering the above which one would you pick? Current TC and location: 200k in the same great city as offer 1. Note: cost of living (COL) in both cities are almost identical, and the companies' WLB, prestige and room for career growth are almost the same also.
350 is way more than 250. That’s enough money difference to support someone else. Changes the equation when looking for a partner.
Late 30s? Yeah, prioritize life goals over career goals. Money is nice, but you don’t want to die alone. What is COL difference? 250k is getting by in SF/NYC, but wealthy in the rest of the US.
Unless you are moving to a dude ranch in North Dakota, you can meet your wife in any city.
Tell that to all my single friends in NYC. You can date a different person every night but not get closer to being married. Too much dating FOMO.
Ill take too many options any day over not having enough options.
Whichever one has better wlb
Which ever gives you better opportunities for your life goal (meet the other half and or career)
You can always meet someone online. An extra 100k can be put towards flying them out 😜
What is the job that pays upto 350K? I really wanna know.
I doubt they would pay someone 350k in the middle of nowhere. I bet the 350k is in SF / Bay 😂
Yeah prob sf vs nyc
Have received very very high offers in the middle of nowhere (mid-high six figures). I always turn them down. They often need to pay up to attract top talent. The coasts have plenty of top people with impressive backgrounds to backfill a job ... not always true in “other” states.
😂😂
I thought Seattle is a sausage fest too? NYC would be my guess lol.
Which is the great city? And the other city?
mentioning the cities will make the choices very subjective because people may agree or disagree in terms of what their thoughts are on the cities. The merits of the question is to figure out whether the money is more important at this time given my situation or uplifting the opportunity to meet my future wife.
According to your logic, you're just letting your own biases about these cities taint the question. You should share the city names if you want good answers.
