Offer Decision

Hi Blind Community, I was looking for some advice navigating a few offers I have. Current TC : 145 Base + <5k other at Bofa Offer 1 : machine learning engineer at athenahealth 135 base, 15% performance bonus, 10k sign on. Interesting healthcare related application, with the chance to work on advanced machine learning models (NLP, CV) and production level code leveraging modern technologies Offer 2: machine learning engineer at Nike base 165, 15% performance bonus, 10k sign on, chance to buy nike stock at 15% discount 2x yearly. Less "sexy" machine learning models (traditional time series analysis, and operations research), however the chance to work in a relatively rigorous engineering environment in an interesting new problem space. The application I'd be working on for this job would be order fulfillment optimization (where to place a product and how much of to minimize cost and optimize customer experience) and product demand prediction. Where I stand currently in my thoughts athenahealth offers the chance to work with more modern machine learning models that I think will be beneficial to my longterm career opportunities and growth. Nike's models will be in a new problems space for me, and I assume will be technically rigorous also. I want to make sure I continue to develop my machine learning skills and my swe skills. Do you guys have any opinions/insights into which opportunity would be better for me longterm? Is it worthwhile asking athenahealth for more money given my other offer? I don't know how much wiggle room they have with salaries. #machinelearningengineer #offers

Yes. See if you can get Athena to increase base.
