I have total 10 YoE (6 years as SFDC Analyst). Have offers from 1) VMWare - Salescloud Product Owner, 140k base 170k TC in Palo Alto vs. 2) Salesforce.org - Salescloud Sr. Product Analyst, 120k base 140k TC in Dallas. Which one to choose?
Probably be rich in Dallas? Heard great things about the work culture in Salesforce.
Go with Dallas. I enjoy the culture here
140K in Dallas is prob close to a 350K-400K TC in Palo Alto in terms of quality of life. Suburb of Palo Alto vs suburb of Dallas is gonna be even bigger difference. Remember that TX doesnt tax you state income tax.
Can you breakdown your TC? Any RSUs?
VMware.. Because I'm biased towards the company and the location. But location, to me would be the deciding factor on that one
@echosummet Have you lived in Bay Area? Only going by compensation is 140k TC in Dallas is comparable to 170k in Palo Alto?
I have lived in the bay and tbh 170k is on the low end of what I'd expect for TC given cost of living. I don't know anything about Dallas though so I wouldn't be able to compare.
