Hey all, I’m a new grad with a degree in ME and concentration mechanical design, along with 1 year of co-op experience at a consumer product company working in NPD and prototyping. After being on the job hunt for a while, a company is offering me 85k as a Product Development Engineer. I’m based out the Greater Boston area. Is this a base salary I should expect for this type of role with my qualifications?

Should I take this role?
Pros: 50k bump, company is full remote, no time tracking software, unlimited PTO, 10k in quarterly bonuses, vertical move in responsibility and title, will set me up for future roles in different companies with the title I am looking for (so strategic move)

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)
