I am currently stuck between two job positions, one with Merrill making $85k base and big corp benefits and another for an RIA for $65k and no benefits like healthcare and 401k. I really like the RIA position better but other comparable positions in the area range from $45-$60k so it doesn’t seem like strong numbers to negotiate. Should I chose ML for the salary/benefits security— Anyone have insights? Worried of being a new higher compensated employee with a potential recession on the horizon..

Any openings for Data Scientist in Jio?

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Hello Fishes

What's the future of SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) I have been offered this role.

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
