Currently interviewing with Northrop Grumman for Sr. Principal Engineer in California. I am to relocate from Houston, TX to San Jose, CA. If there's anyone who is willing to talk about salary this would be very helpful. Current labor statistics/cost living calculators say for my houston pay of 110K I should be asking for no less than 210K, but the pay listing is maxed at 180 from the job posting... thank you all! Any tips are welcomed!!

Thank you definitely will dig into those routes.

Don't forget to bring in tax implications into your calculations.
If the calc is purely financial (moving next to family? want to live in CA?) than we're talking 2X+ the pay to even start considering it

First, I wouldn’t put a ton of confidence in those calculators without reviewing the criteria they’re focusing on. For example, if you don’t own a home in either location, it can throw off the suggestion.

Secondly, you should probably consider a different role bc if the max is 180, you’ll be getting less than that if you receive the job.

helpful

Thank you for that extra information, I appreciate the input and help and u was able to find a better viewpoint. This is to not bad mouth anyone who values their work or dignity. That being said, after doing a more proper in-depth research and the math conversion to Houston payrate along with the cost of living with the average apartment in Sunnyvale/San Jose; 90k-130k is the equivalency is 50k-70K, this is high-key disrespectful for the work a “Principal Engineer” is putting in. A Mcdonnalds Manager makes this kind of money with zero formal education… My school cost more than the base pay. You weren’t kidding about the self-worth consideration.

Hello Team, Could you please let me know, how much salary will be sufficient to live in malaysia with family.

How much salary can we expect for 10yrs of experience.

Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.

Is it worth shopping around? Can I get promo to Director level at another Tech company, earn more and still maintain same level of hours (limited weekend work)? Less intense days possible?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
