Hi folks. I’m a data scientist at a T2/B4 firm that does fairly technical work. I am prepping for interviews to transition to SWE-data at a big tech company and currently have a little over 1 yoe.

Since prep usually takes a while for swe, I have not started seriously applying. However, I am likely to receive an offer for 110-120k at another consulting firm. I was hoping to get some thoughts from other technical folks that made the transition. More in comments

In terms of reputation, the new firm is probably a slight step down. Salary wise it’s a substantial jump (30+% in a non-hcol city) but not more than what a tech firm would pay. My current practice has many people who have moved into fang + equivalent companies. I also have referrals for most places id apply, I just haven’t finished my interview prep

Domain wise it’d be in an area id like to continue working on in the future. However, it’s a common domain that many places are investing in currently

It might show in my post but I’m leaning towards no and holding out for a tech offer. However it’s an increase that at least merits consideration. Was just hoping to get more opinions

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment.

Is there a better way to frame my answer?
