Hi everyone!
I got a new remote job that is a 60% ($87K base salary) increase with an annual bonus of ~10% (up to 20%), $2k sign on bonus and a health insurance discount. I did leave my current job before a year so I have to payback about $7K in relocation assistance.
Do you think I made the right choice? Just having a difficult time coming to terms with leaving my job right before the 1yr mark but didn’t want to miss the opportunity and I hate the city I’m in right now.

A 60% increase in pay and you’re asking if it was a correct move!? Absolutely correct!! Think about how quickly you will recover that 7k and level set vs. losing the opportunity altogether because you were afraid to leave the other job over 7k!!

Honestly it wasn’t even listed as remote. Recruiter reached out to me 2 months later saying the team was open to having someone remote, guess they couldn’t fill it locally. My advice: apply to companies based in cities with a high cost of living (SF, NYC, etc)

Ask the new company to bump sign on from 2k to 9k.

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
