Hey folks! I got a remote job with 130K TC with ~ 3 YoE. I currently live at home in the Bay Area and trying to figure out where I should move out to. I used to live in NYC pre covid and have a decent amount of friends still there. If I move anywhere but NYC, I have to start my social life from scratch basically, but totally open to. What city would you move to if you were in my position? Living at home is a poor option for me even though I’m saving $$, mental health is not great

I would stay where the majority of the company is to build rapport and develop a direct network.

That’s true, but SF is so expensive even more than NYC I feel. The manager really didn’t seem like he cared where I was

I’m confused….You want to move to the street?

Move out from my parent’s place :). With a remote open job and TC staying the same with wherever I live in the US, I’m having a hard time deciding where I should live

I’d move back to NYC in a heartbeat if I was in your position

Atlanta. It’s incredibly inexpensive and a very fun city. On that salary, you can afford a 2 bedroom apartment alone in a prime area.

Do you want to be in a certain time zone or does it not matter at all?

They’re open to me working my own hours / time zone. Lots of the team is in SF including my manager, but the rest of the folks are spread throughout the US and in Europe and Asia.

Move to Miami or South Florida, don’t go to nyc where you’ll need roommates and will most likely break even on comp

I’m South Asian F so Miami/ South Florida really limits my dating pool :/. Otherwise, that area looks cool!

Hi everyone! First time posting here. I am in a good sales role at my current company but it’s my first solid AE role in the tech industry. I am interested in exploring other opportunities as I know there are a lot out there, but is anyone else worried about the current economic state? I’m worried that if I find a new position for a new company and the economy going to sh** that I am worried about job security. Anyone else feel this way?

Does anyone have ideas on how to navigate a smaller team environment when everyone’s roles seem to be stretched (hiring for additional people has been taking a while, not sure why).

I try to ignore and just stay focused on what I need to do yet sometimes proves challenging. I worry it might affect my professional/career growth. Thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks!

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.
