Hi Guys,

I've interviewed with a consulting company in the US I was offered 136k + 10k USD sign-on and it will be located in New York (I do have an option of other cities but wanted to build a network initially so I chose the location as here + 10% lower pay in lower tier locations)

My firm offered me a 125k + 10k cad retention counter offer.

Which one would you guys see as the better option?

125k cad buys a better lifestyle in Toronto than 136k usd in nyc unless you’re set on experiencing the nyc lifestyle.

125k is SC top band in canada so I'll be stuck there for 2-3 years with very minor increases while in the US I'll be able to grow to ~150k by next year base plus higher bonus (10-25% compare to canada 2-5%)

I think you have a golden ticket here. You should take the US job if it will result in a green card and then pivot to a higher pay job there in a couple years.

It sounds like you’re a very high performer if your firm is offering 10K retention to stay.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I had an initial interview on Wednesday. About an hour later, I got a call from an internal recruiter from the same company wanting to follow up and see how the interview went. I didn’t see the voicemail until the following morning when I was at work and called her back that afternoon when I was out of work. I still haven’t heard from her. Is this normal? Should I not try calling back again? I’ve been at my job for several years, so I am unfamiliar with how I should handle a situation like this.

I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.
