Hi fishies!
I got an offer from a small consulting firm. (< 300 ppl) for a senior consultant position, base is 120k. I’m considering the move from Houston, but the cost of living looks pretty high in Dallas compared to Houston. Would you say this is a good offer ?

You can live pretty comfortably with 120k in Dallas. Wouldn’t say it’s much different CoL wise compared to Houston.

Houston and Dallas are pretty comparable. As with both, your cost of living will vary based on where in the metroplex you live, but $120K should afford you a comfortable life

Yeah I make 90k in Dallas and am more than comfortable.

Is this evolv?

Nope

Okay.. well Evolv is offering 120K, Dallas , less than 300.

If it’s “not” the total comp at Evolv is Pennie’s compared to deloitte.. not sure where you’re at currently but with the small companies , ask about util goals.. their pipeline.. hired to a project.. is it truly consulting vs staffing firm.. from my interviews I realized small consulting in Dallas doesn’t meet the mark

Depends on if you are single, married, kids? Buying or renting? 120k for a single person is more than enough for Dallas unless you are renting is downtown for 8k a month high rises

There are plenty of nice places to rent in Plano/ Frisco. Look into Legacy West area.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
