A significant chunk of my team members are permanently leaving Seattle and still collecting Seattle pay checks. They are basically making a ton more now in terms of what's in their bank accounts, and I'm thinking maybe I should move. It's just, what if I move and then don't stay at this company, and the next job pays way less?

I’m in a similar boat. I left the Bay Area when covid hit but if I want to keep my job I’ll eventually have to go back. But I’m not missing the bay. I got an offer locally, and it pays almost as well, but isn’t quite as prestigious a company, so I’m torn. If you have big tech experience I’ve found that you can get great offers outside of big tech, but do you want to leave the companies doing such cool stuff? Tough choice.

I was expecting to get to ICT4 but seems like team thinks upper end of ICT3 is more apt. Also, I think it is because I don’t have any counter offers yet.

Received offer
Base: 185k
Sign on: 40k

I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently
