I really wanna get out of NY, even if just for a few years, but I feel like most low COL places don’t have great agencies or work. Anyone make a move for a bit?

Austin, Chicago, Denver all are significantly cheaper than nyc and make great work.

I loved Denver. I don’t think I could do Chicago winters. Austin intrigued me.

I think my fear is moving out of NY and not being able to come back. I’ve heard it’s very hard to get back here. I’m also a total introvert and struggle with the idea of starting a new life, essentially.

Go to LA and you can have twice the space for the same price and tons of hiking to be an introvert. I live in LA as a freelancer and actually work more for NY agencies. Quality of work is pretty close it quality of life is way higher.

Wanna trade places for a year?

There are local agencies that make good regional work all over the place. It doesn’t have to be working on national campaigns.

I left the US and traveled and worked for agencies across Europe and Asia for 10 years. Best thing I ever done. Opened my mind, forced me out of my comfort zone, got to live and work in different cultures, the food is amazing.

NeedMore$:
I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

I know that some other associates at my level are approximately 30% behind other associates in hours on a month to month basis. Yet all of these associates say they are “at capacity”, and myself and another associate still end up being assigned work instead of them. How do we handle this? For reference, all associates are around the firms minimum requirement, it’s just that a few of us are 30+% over and it is leading to burnout.

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years. Forgive my ignorance but is this normal/standard? Do people actually answer these honestly? One of the reasons I’m leaving my firm is there isn’t enough work in my group so of course my hours are low.
