Hello all,

I’m a recent graduate of masters and currently have 2 offers in my hand.

1) One with CITI Bank with 100k salary and no sign on bonus and as it is in my home town as I stay with my family needs no relocation bonus required.

2) This is with American Airlines in Dallas Fort Worth which offered 100k + 10k bonus + 18k relocation bonus (required)

Which ofer should I consider given I’m a new graduate and this is going to be my first job. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I’d take the first offer to build up experience while living at home. Since this would be your first job, the position would be just to gain experience. The extra 10K bonus/year should be out of the question as it probably won’t even cover 3 months of rent (since bonuses are taxed more heavily than salary).

My advice is to take the first offer to build experience, and save up while you’re still at home. Then once you have more experience, you can consider moving to a new city for a higher offer.

Zero chance I'd take a risk on a relocation with the current economic environment if I had a comparable offer in hand.

Plus Citi seems much less prone to economic downturns than a major airline. Did you know Southwest is the only major airline to be consistently profitable?

I would agree. Most financial institutions are going to be doing well in a rising rate environment.

Don’t risk relocating. Also ask if they can bump up your $100k offer I had 1 year of experience and a bachelors and they offered $110-120k.

I’d say depends on where sort of experience you prefer. I would say Citi offers more opportunities in the future if you want to move around and grow internally m or move to another big bank seamlessly.
