🐠 fam - need some help choosing between 2 projects: 1 - LA, big name healthcare client, very strong SC. 2 - SF, mid-tier software client, this is the SC's first project post-MBA. Thoughts?

A > C isn't exactly a hard promo. Do the project you think you'd enjoy more

healthcare in a heartbeat. Plus SF is too expensive, even when traveling. My client is in SF now and I can't wait to roll off

I fucked up. I meant LA. Bigger name means probably more $$ for the people deciding on your promotion. Also, a stronger SC means the project will be better ran and your role better defined, meaning it'll probably be easier to succeed.

@D1 how can it be expensive if we're expensing everything?

Sounds like SF would be better for your promotion chances

If you want to go out and enjoy the city it's out of pocket though OP.

If that's not your thing then it's a non factor I guess, but I'd still aim for healthcare roles, great space to disrupt right now , healthcare is behind the tech curve and that brings opportunities

like

@D1 great insight, thank you so much!

Definitely LA - better to be a smaller part of a big successful project with a known name brand, then a bigger part of a smaller project that may or may not be successful (likely not, given this is the SC's first one)

like

@P1 why?
