Denver’s market is very hot. The industries are diversified, so it stays pretty steady. Housing is expensive for a non-coastal city.

Colorado Springs is a great place to live and more affordable than Denver. There are not many public companies, so the opportunities for accountants and auditors who want to work at a PubCo would be limited.

From a quality of life standpoint Dallas is a bad comparison. They offer very different things, and so it is up to what someone is looking for.

What about income and living expense?

Income is high in Dallas and COL is low. What I have hear of CS is that housing prices are super high, as are the residents ever since marijuana was legalized.

The reason to choose CS might be the gorgeous location, being outdoors, wanting to be near that friend of yours, better summers.

You can do well in either city. Go with what matters most to you. I hate the Dallas traffic but I love my family and appreciate having them nearby.

Better in terms of quality of life? Cost of housing? Job availability?

I'm not ultra in touch w/Colorado Springs (have one friend there) but I know Dallas has a lot of jobs.

Where are you coming from, for comparison?

I am product designer with a fair amount of experience (6yrs).

Recently was interviewed for a Sr. role in Booking but unfortunately, the team finds me better suited as a core individual contributor.

I am also in the advanced stages of some lead designer positions in other companies.

However, I am really interested in joining the team at Booking, especially because of the design culture.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?

I’m a first generation professional and a bit lost on what path I should take. I’m a senior at Deloitte in the assurance department. I’ll be honest and say that my priority is to make the most money I can in the future and would like to plan according to that priority. I have really good SOX 404 experience. My choices are the following 1) become the lead senior in my public client and stay in assurance 2)FSO 3) Advisory?

I am currently working for a private bank as an internal auditor with 8 years of experience. I recently got an offer from PwC assurance services for an SM position.

The offer is %20 less in terms of salary compared to my current but this role offers professional growth opportunities and chance for abroad experience. Is it illogical to make the change?
