Hi everyone!
I accepted a job offer of 8k less than what I was making but I have to relocate to a different city that is cheaper so I'll have the same salary as I was after taxes. However, the company that I always wanted to work for reached out to interview me for a position in my current city offering me 20k more plus bonuses. Not sure if I pursued it or not. I already started in the other company and I don’t want to burn any bridges Any advice?

Interview with them and see how it goes. This is life and you need to do what’s best for you, if you left for $20k and to work at a company you’ve always admired there’s going to be minimal bridge burning.

Pursue it especially if it’s going to be beneficial for you 20k is a big difference and that company knows your worth. At the end of the day your a number at both places but at one you will be making a lot more money.

At least just take the interview. See what happens. Then worry about making the decision.

Being willing to move for 8k less seems drastic to me. But will 20k more in your current city allow you to live more comfortably or will it still be difficult generally because of costs?

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?
