Got a job as an accounting manager in a new city ! I just finished my first year as a senior and am also getting 16% bonus , stock options and relocation (like 20k to move). The grass is greener!

16% of your new salary? This is a great offer, congratulations!

like

@OP keep a few things in mind. 1) salary increase can't be viewed in a vacuum. You're going low COL to high. For reference average senior in NYC makes above $80K. Still a nice increase to $95K, but not the $28K it looks like. 2)$10K will get almost complete used in moving. Between first and last months rent and a 15% broker fee (you can usually negotiate them down a bit), you won't have much left over for spending.

Welcome to NYC. Now pay me the rent

like

Brokers fee is covered by the relo package. I did the math on the COL adjustment and I'll be living a similar lifestyle to Texas which is pretty legit. And the average senior accountant at big 4 doesn't have all the additional perks this job has. (Coming to work at 10am, free breakfast , free gym membership, casual dress (talking tshirts and shorts) and so much more. Im also eligible for a pay increase this year , plus the bonus is so much more than the garbage bonus in big 4. I get what you're saying but still I'm not trying to be this guy who splurges all the time. Just want to enjoy life in the new city that I've always wanted to be in

Unlimited vacation is cool, but make sure you use it because they don't accrue! That area is awesome. Tons of startups around there and just a cool vibe. Any clue where you're gonna live? FiDi has a bunch of affordable places that are nice and is about a 30 minute walk to SoHo.

like

FiDi will be much cheaper than Greenwich to Chelsea for comparable places. For perspective, I pay around $3K for a large studio (500+ sq feet) in a luxury building (gym, doorman, common areas, etc...). In West Village for the same price I'd be looking at around 400 sq feet in an older building, possibly walk up, with no amenities. There's a lot in the $2,500 - $3,000 range in FiDi in nice buildings, so you get a bit more bang for your buck. It's about 4 stops on the 1 to the West Village.
