10 yrs experience in fintech product management and current TC is ~350. I have an offer for 410 in the bay with better WLB but id have to move my family from the east coast. is the bump worth the move or are there ample opportunities to wait out for in the northeast ?
Better WLB you sure? Commute in bay is brutal
I've lived in sf and mountain view before but I'd most likely live close to work and bike if possible
lol dont think nyc is any better tho
I walk to work in the bay, just saying
nothing beats living in office cubicle... they have coffee, internet, shower and laundry
The culture is totally different, complete 180. Your family may have hard time adjusting.
How so?
I say move. Bay is the Mecca if opportunities. If your in NY, Bay Area is comparable and a bit better I would say.
Unless u live in New Jersey :) then all bets are off :)
Nah, Manhattan
Well then I would recommend moving to Bay Area. Better tc, better wlb, way better opportunity and weather. If family is ok to move, then I don’t see the downside
1. How big is your family 2. What part of east coast are you in, for comparison? 3. How much of your 410 offer is in cash?
4. Wife and I and 2 small kids. NYC. 370 is cash.
That's plenty, you won't have trouble living here
