Have a new offer to join a firm in DC with $107k salary. Firm will be remote until end of year. I could move to DC and pay rent or stay home with parents for the 4 months. How much do you think I could realistically save by living at home? Thanks!

Stay at home and save money. It will go a long way even thought it is a couple of thousand bucks.

8-10k is my guess. Rent, utility, etc etc

Sheesh. For 107k in DC, they better not expect you to break your back at work

Alternative, I'm considering moving to a third, lower cost city for the time being until we're actually back in office.

My thinking, though we have a back to office plan in September, I doubt the COVID situation will get much better until next April.

Any idea which city would make sense to make the move to? Why is home not an option?

Your salary is fine but I would highly consider renting in VA (not Arlington) maybe Falls church, Alexandria with available public transit route to DC. DC/Arlington is just too overhyped with high crime rate for that premium cost of living in my opinion.

Hi All,

I have 7 years of experience in total in SAP Integration technology and I have been offered C2 manager position with

Is it good to join? Can I still contribute technically at C2 role? Or would it be pure managerial role? Also please let me know how much variable pay would be paid at this role? I have around 2.8L variable per year as a part of the package.
