@A2 relo costs going to SF are more ridiculous than you’d expect. I got 6k for Chicago to SF and it wasn’t enough; even the smallest PODS pod was like 3k (that wouldn’t fit all my furniture and required me to load/unload my stuff) and a full-service move quote came in at 8k (on the other hand, I believe it costs significantly less to actually leave SF lol). I ended up using my relocation bonus on nice luggage and taking advantage of my AA EP status to fly back and forth checking 3 bags/boxes at a time (killing 2 birds with 1 stone getting miles to requalify now that I travel less)
Seems ok. I got 5k from FL to Boston. My old company only provided 4k fro CA to FL
Honestly you can ship a whole house for way less than that and you'll still have some leftovers. Have you looked at how much it'll cost you or just going off the number?
Standard for FAANG
Sc1 standard as in they don’t give more or less depending on distance? It’s just a flat 10k?
I haven’t done the estimation but just sounds on the low end going off of transparentcareer.com
Well, now sure what your base is but keep in mind you will pay 10% or more extra income tax and this might not cover year 1
We do 15% comp adjustment + Relocation cost
MD1 10% more to live in SF correct? Yes, I’m aware. Or are you referring to the relocation somewhat causing me to pay more income tax? yes, but that would be rather negligible wouldn’t it?
Not worth for Apple
10k sounds fair lol
Market rate. Just made the move from east coast to SF for a top tier law firm and that’s what they paid
That’s a joke. You’re losing the bonus’s in taxes in the first year.
M1 you’re talking about the extra I’ll pay in income taxes due to living in California correct?
Lol won’t even cover furniture being moved. As for cost of living. You need a 30px Juno in base also to live there to get parity. Plus a dull SF tech culture. Go to nyc.
Ibm I’ll be making double when you account for all in comp. I prefer the weather and food in sf. It also smells bad in Ny and people are assuoles
Seems a little low, OP. I got 40k from a FANG, NY to CA move. I had a choice of various levels of relo assistance (corp apartment, full move etc) or just cash out (which I took). That said, it depends a lot on the company and their policies. I have friends that just had the strict cost of their relo reimbursed, no cash option. I would check with your friends at the company to see what’s normal. Congrats on the new job, btw!
I actually don’t have any friends there m1 lol. What Faang and what level m1?
It really depends on your level, if you own a home, how big it is, how much stuff you have etc. I went with a full relo package and ended up spending about 180k all in to sell, buy, store, and move a 3000/ft house worth of stuff cross country.
Wow Director was that a typo or did you mean to type 180k and not 18k?
