I have a MS degree and a few years of working experience in other country prior to grad school.

After grad school, my first job gives me 80k salary. Bonus 10%, no other benefits.

Does this sound an acceptable offer in Chicago? The title is Data Scientist.

  • You can get more for data science with your profile in startups /big tech including plenty of benefits and so on. But decent offer to start off.

    It should be enough to afford a studio or small 1B1B apartment away from downtown. You’ll be able to go out and dine every week or so but won’t save much.

    Yah. It’s really good if you’re under 25. You can live in lakeview/Logan square and live a fun life
