I’m an L6 SDM at Amazon but a Meta recruiter sent me an M2 sdm job description. I have all the XP I need from previous job experience but does Meta keep your same level as Amazon? Meaning if I am an L6 at Amazon am I automatically interviewing at M1 or can I jump to an M2?Amazon Facebook (Meta)
Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.
If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
Accenture Please provide your insights. This is my first switch so I ne more exposure
MAGA!!!
America first!!!
Winning!!!

Lateraled from Chicago to Dallas. Agree with the comment above about choosing a city first, then focusing your search there. I was lucky enough to already be licensed in TX since I’m from TX originally, so likely different from your experience, but I know there’s a lot of heat in this market and no one really cares where you’re coming from.
I had kids, wife wanted to move close to family. Also no state income tax and cheaper living generally.
Agree with the Parker+Lynch reply, always good to have a connection but seems like my firm’s reliance on that is fading (just hired a junior originally from Canada and where all his family are). I think showing a strong commitment to the market you want will carry you.
I've worked with many lateral associates (and partners) relocating to Texas from NYC. With many Am Law firms paying Cravath level comp, a very low cost of living, and no state income tax, they definitely keep more of their money. And the work in Texas is highly sophisticated. You'd want to consider Texas bar licensure.
There are a lot of opportunities in Texas for lateral associates right now. My suggestion is to decide which city best suits you — Dallas, Houston or Austin. Then focus on that city. As a transplant from the east coast, there are definite differences between the cities and you’ll want to choose wisely.
It's true. I was born and raised in Dallas, lived in Austin for a while, and have been in Houston for the rest. All are very different and have a different "feel". Houston and Dallas tend to pay better than Austin. The market is very active - especially for certain practice areas. I've scheduled seven candidate interviews in the last five days.
