Easily yes. You net way more than $35k and don't get to live in a sh*thole city like SF.

I thought state taxes would make a good comparison. But not realy.
7.25 % in CA which will inevitably rise.
6.50% in AR which I thought would be lower.
That said, CA is in serious fiscal trouble, and it is only growing worse. Everything is CA is more expensive than AR.
Gas in CA is 4.90, in AR it's 3.00. Electricity in CA is 19.90 per Kw/HR compared to AR at 9.98 per Kw/HR.
Just these metrics mean everything costs more, housing, transportation, food, eating out.
SF is plagued by homelessness, open use of hard drugs, filth and the flight of businesses. Plus more earthquakes, wild fires. AR does have more tornados, so don't live in a trailer park.

You’re a gazillionaire with 150k in bentonville

For 400k you can actually buy a newish house that looks really nice with a 2 car garage in a suburb and enjoy your life. 150 plus bonus is plenty, and with a spouse or other person working, will do very well. I would say 150 in Bentonville is like 300-350 in SF

Half of you pay will got state income tax, not to mention FICA will get their share, and whatever other fees and bills. I would suggest that, if you do decide to take the job, to move into a small home that you can pay off in a short amount of time, and live there until close to death, when you need to sell it to live in an assisted living facility and pay in full you funeral costs.

In SF you need to bring in about 400k to live more comfortable, the suburbs around SF are more expensive , think $2M fixer

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
