Current situation - Big4 Manager in Seattle making 160 base with trash bonuses past few years despite early promo.

Opportunity - Offer for Senior Product Manager for major retailer but have to move to Bay Area in 6 months. 180 base, 80k/year stock fully vested after 4 years, annual bonus is 20% for meeting expectations, unlimited PTO, negotiating signing bonus.
Take it and don’t look back? I know Bay Area cost of living cancels out the base pay raise but long term it seems worth it.

Take it and don’t look back. Just be ready to commit for 4 years so you don’t lose those rsus. Good luck op!

I am in a similar situation but moving from East coast to Bay area. Mine is more like a lateral move but with comp $160k TC —> $270k

Yeah take it and run.. you can work out some deal if you’re renting. My buddy moving there in a few weeks, was able to get 3 months rent free

So the offer is like $210K for meeting expectations + 20K stock annually in the first 4 years. I think that’s still a decent offer for SF. Try to negotiate the sign on bonus + relo

The rest depends on whether this is the path you’d enjoy/want to go, and how many hours will you most likely work in the new role. Def seem like a much more exciting offer compared to your current situation.

Slight correction - 80k/year vesting over 4 years means 1st year I get 20k, next year I get 40k, then 60k, then 80k every subsequent year as long as I stay

Thanks for the replies, gonna go for it!

Wait, how is the retailer performing? Check that first, Malls and retailers are struggling for a long time already.

they are doing better than ever before

Last week at an office meeting the office manager, in front of everyone, without my knowledge beforehand, announced that I was the only person in the office eligible for a senior position. I was shocked and responded in that way. I have to apply for the position and after some thought I decided I didn’t want to do it. They aren’t offering an increase in base pay and giving me the responsibility of management without the title. Yesterday, I received a PIP is this retaliation?
