PwC A recruiter from PWC reached out to me to ask if I’d consider a different office the one I applied to, since it’s full. It would be Boston, Hartford, Chicago, Minneapolis, Little Rock, Denver, San Francisco or San Jose. MSA candidate. Is there a fully remote option? Do you have to be in the office all the time? Is the compensation high at PWC? Is there a possible moving expenses? Any insight or advice would help me make a decision. Thank you!
Hello Gang, I’m on the business side for Walmart right now. Walmart Global Tech recently offered me a role to move to the San Bruno office, but I’d be taking a demotion from L6 to E5. YOE: 8, COMP(200k base, 25% bonus, 100k RSU). Is this competitive in the bay? I have Doordash and Instacart in the pipeline, but no final offers yet.

I did! Definitely more of a work life balance. Less media perks, or at least for me personally, but still there. You do need to live near transit or get a car. The traffic is awful but at least you can jam out to music. Forgot how much I enjoyed being by myself in the morning and not a crowded subway. Still great food!! Hours are more 9-5 or at least in my case. And the number one amazing thing is that rent is far cheaper than NYC!
Don’t work somewhere that isn’t also near a neighborhood you’d want to live in, otherwise you’ll spend 2hrs+ everyday in your car. Highly recommend any agencies on the west side (Fitzco) or around Midtown (22 Squared) or Ponce City Market. Steer clear of Buckhead (unless you have kids and need to live up north OTP for financial reasons). Also, cost of living is lower, overall, but to live in desirable neighborhoods (Virginia Highlands, Inman Park, Midtown, Westside), its not THAT much lower. Just want to level set. One bedrooms in those neighborhoods will start around $1700/month to rent, but then you’ll also need to add a car payment+insurance+gas+maintenance to your monthly expenses. You should still get a raise when you take a job there, just won’t need a very big one to still feel like good increase. A lot of times recruiters will try to tell you that the cost of living is SO MUCH LOWER that you should be happy with a lateral pay grade, but I completely disagree and you should fight that (unless of course, you’re going to a new field or dept)
Also - I feel like my post may have come off as a little negative, but Atlanta is awesome!!!!! Lots of diversity, amazing restaurant scene, fun areas to go out, great shopping, friendly people, adorable neighborhoods with fab architecture, a really lovely spring and fall (and just enough winter to be happy about), giant airport that’ll get you anywhere nonstop, a few hours drive to the beach/mountains/Nashville/Charleston, decent music scene, decent professional sports, FLYING BISCUIT (can I get an amen for those creamy dreamy grits?), the list of reasons to love it goes on and on!
Buy a car, buy more furniture (you will have way more space) and get a life (better work life balance; folks down here leave come in late and leave early by NYC standards). Depending on where you worked before and where you are going to work in ATL, you *may* not be as mentally challenged (this really depends) so you may want to find something to do with your extra time and energy, i.e., pick up a side hustle/hobby, chill and make $$, get married and have a baby, write a script and make a movie.) Also think strategically about where you live .... mind-numbing traffic.
things close earlier.
@account supe 1 nailed it. there's an even smaller perimeter of intown neighborhoods where you'll likely want to live
When I was in ATL I lived in a huge 2 bedroom luxury building in a great area, with parking, for $1800 total. So not sure about the $1700 one bedroom number.
Everything you know about the subway system... forget it.
Just left ATL for NY. What you wanna know?
Yeah 1BR are like 12-1300 for luxury-ish apartments there. Maybe that person had a 1BR penthouse unit.
Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. No realistic plan to fix. No effective public transportation. Welcome to the ATL
