I currently make:
Base: $73,500
Bonus: $5000
Role: associate product manager
Location: phoenix, arizona
TC: $78,000
in Arizona and got a job offer from a startup in Redwood City/Palo Alto area:
Base: $150,000
Performance Bonus: $35,000
Role: product manager
TC: $185,000
the startup is firm on TC and said no wiggle room.
My brother is saying I will have same lifestyle so it’s not really “ballin out” my parents thought it was a huge jump and I should accept asap. What do you think?
I currently work as a platform PM and this new role would be more product focused so OKRs and KPIs so probably way better for my career. Plus I’d be working remote from Phoenix until after the pandemic making bank in Phoenix $$$$

After taxes it's probably going to be like 35k extra, which is still a lot of money. And I'd you save pretax, like 401k, it's an even better deal.
