Current TC: 95k 2 YOE Have two offers, which one should I go for? Indeed 150k Austin Bloomberg 180k NYC Not sure how Bloomberg is in the tech world. EDIT: Currently living in Austin.
Do you like Austin? Are you looking to move to NYC? This is a huge factor. COL is high in New York but you can find affordable apartments or rooms within a reasonable commute to Bloomberg.
150k in Austin will go much further than 180k in NYC, but NYC is an incredible city. Agree with previous poster that city and weather preference matters.
Between those two, I would suggest Bloomberg. Besides being fintech, they also have a lot multimedia tech stuff. A lot of realtime products. I don't know the scale of indeed, Bloomberg is across the world in multiple timezones. From just a scaling perspective that would be much more interesting.
Bloomberg and NYC to at least have some chance to date and get laid
Got a wife.
Lol still you can’t kill your eyes plenty to watch and strips and occasional clubs
With COL compared, Indeed 150k Austin would be equal to ~250k NYC Bloomberg 180k NYC would be equal to ~110k Austin So it actually Indeed is a way better offer than Bloomberg unless Bloomberg can give a COL increase to ~250k
Agreed, $150k in Austin you can get yourself a nice 4,000sq ft 5 bed house, vs some shitty 1 bed in NYC. Generally your quality of living will be higher in Austin on 150k, especially if you’re married. Maybe NYC if you were single. MAYBE.
Is the 150 for indeed all cash or part equity?
Bloomberg is not tech
Bloomberg is a software company that I can assure you. And now Bloomberg is moving away from old crap that they had and is building lots of things from scratch. Depends on the team also. Lots of teams do AI and ML too. Lots of jvm teams as well. Bloomberg does a lot of finnacial stuff but it really is a tech company where engineers are treated well
Bloomberg is fintech.
So not software oriented?
Depends on Team.
