I got below offer from Bloomberg: Base 185K Bonus 40K No sign-on and loosing unvested stock. I have to move to NY. My current TC is 190K in Boulder office. Should i jump the ship? Can you please share the reason as well?
Similar pay, way different cost of living, similar tier company, why jump?
Have a family in NY that's the only reason. But tc looks like lowball, they won't give me more.
I’m not sure what Splunk’s tech is like but I’ve heard some horror stories w/ Bloomberg’s infra. As someone who moved from Denver to NYC for work/family, don’t do it unless you’re really ready to give up the lifestyle.
Thx for the advice.
How do you like boulder?
Couldn't enjoy it, accepted an offer during the pandemic
Jeez that sucks
You could for sure get more at places like Facebook but if you really want out, take it and use it as a stepping stone to the bigger players in the area. Bloomberg isn't all horror from what I gathered lurking here. They have teams working with up to date software stacks, which teams though? That you'll have to ask someone at Bloomberg.
I am happy at my current company and team. TC looks like lowball, probably will stick with my current job.
Why? It’s a significant pay cut if you have to relocate to NY. Unless you absolutely have to leave your current job now, you should continue to interview and wait for another offer.
Major paycut if moving to NYC. If you have a family home there on the other hand...
Youll get more refreshers every year. Throw in a promo at some point, and ur TC will be well into the mid or high 200s Stay
Do you want to move to NYC?
Yes, but comp looks like lowball.
That’s not lowball for 3 YOE.
