current TC 250k bay area offer1: TC 200k SLC low cost of living would save more than my current job.. 20k relocation but will spend more ... also due to bonus cutoff will lose bonus... offer2: 175k base 25k bonus 35k stock = 235k TC with hiring bonus 75k and retention 75k after a year with that the first two years TC is 310k.. bay area.. with the sign on I will save the most.. so I have to either get a promotion in two years or get another job.. also I dont have to move my family which is a hassle... is offer two worth taking ... good company but downlevelled... also I am planning to open my own company in 2 years in best case scenario...
they are offering but wont save anything...and have to spend on top of it...so did not mention...
What is the trajectory of your current job? Regardless, I won’t leave Bay Area for SLC for long term career concerns. Not as many options as Bay and god knows what happens when the next recession happens..
exactly that's what I was thinking... I am at staff level now current job is dead end and job 2 is offering senior ... also I am planning to open my own venture in 2 years..
Then job 2 it is, try to negotiate on stock
Difficult decision- couple of pointers to consider . Kids, family and friends . New job opportunities if the SLC doesn't work out ... with many considerations, ur the best judge Best of luck...
SLC over Bay Area any day
You’d be living like a king in SLC with 200k. You could buy a really nice house. In the Bay you’ll be renting a shitty apartment. I’d much rather live in SLC than the Bay.
In the bay area you have chance to reach 500k TC, while SLC it is almost impossible. You should think in long term.
SLC is your older, closer to retirement and want to slow down. Bay Area if you want to reach your full potential
Go SLC save money for couple years with that TC and come back later if you really want to live in Bay
I will save more in bay area with the intuit offer... given their sign on and retention bonus for 2 years..
