This might be a stretch as most are in Bay Area and Seattle. Got an offer with 20% increase and director level position with hand on building a new team possibly in Utah and Bay Area. Currently an em and no increase no plans in promo for a year or so at current. Take the plunge?

    Haha thanks for all the replies. I will be considered minority there will that be an issue? (Race). Also I have a house that much here in the bay and I'm thinking of not selling it just in case. How do they look at domo in Utah?

      I'm not going to post anything about myself here, including my race. I've been to Utah, and it's significantly less diverse and more narrow-minded than the Bay Area. Results may vary of course, but if you are a minority I recommend to proceed with caution.

      The vast majority of the world is less diverse than the bay area.

      If your standards for what level of diversity is acceptable is actually THAT high, then you need to honestly ask yourself who the narrow minded one actually is, because the majority of regions on the planet can't meet your standard.

      China - 99% Asian
      India - 99% Indian (Asian)
      Indonesia - 99% South East Asian
      Japan - 99% Asian
      Germany - 90% European
      Russia - 88% European

      UTAH - 75 % non Hispanic white

      .. The largest ancestry groups in Utah are:
      27.7% English
      14.9% Scandinavian: (5.9% Danish, 4.3% Swedish, & 2.4% Norwegian)
      12.4% German
      7.0% American
      6.1% Irish
      4.7% Scottish
      2.9% Italian
      2.2% French
      2.2% Welsh
      1.4% Scotch Irish
      1.3% Swiss

    Read the Glassdoor reviews - especially the negative ones that point out HR herds everyone into a room to make them write the positive ones. If you are Mormon or a frat boy I hear you will do fine there.

    I live very close to their location in American Fork Utah. A close relative of mine works there.

    How much is the salary they are offering?

    Is the job for their Utah location?

      Holy shit!
      They are offering you 210k for Utah?

      You can live like a king for that much money here.
      In terms of total buying power (including real estate) that's probably like making at least $500k or more in the bay area.

      You can buy a brand new very large home (more than 4000 sq. Feet) with that salary and have plenty of money left over for savings/retirement.

      I can't say that much about how it is to work there. But my close relative seems to like it and he gets paid probably between $120-150k (just guessing).

      They cater lunch and/or breakfast like every day so he's packed on some weight.

    The area Domo is located in has been ranked as the 7th most educated in the nation.

      From the article: Provo-Orem came in behind Ann Arbor, Michigan; Washington D.C.; San Jose, California; Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Madison, Wisconsin and Boston, Massachusetts.

      Also, SF/Oakland came in at number 8, covering the rest of the bay area.

      All 8 of those metros are places I don't want to live in for reasons unrelated to education level.

    Yeah, you would be living like a King but you have to live in Utah. I know some Mormons who won't even do that.
