What is the Deloitte MSP Team? Is it consulting?
Hello Gang, I’m on the business side for Walmart right now. Walmart Global Tech recently offered me a role to move to the San Bruno office, but I’d be taking a demotion from L6 to E5. YOE: 8, COMP(200k base, 25% bonus, 100k RSU). Is this competitive in the bay? I have Doordash and Instacart in the pipeline, but no final offers yet.
I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Miami - excellent food, beautiful beaches, lots of young professionals, etc
My advice, live 30 mins north and visit Miami for fun but not to live. It’s pretty chaotic nowadays.
This is question is very relative to your own taste, but I’ve lived in Chicago for the past year and have loved it. Big city vibe but cheaper than NYC and Miami. Summers here are amazing, but they’re juxtaposed against a long winter. IMO, the summer is worth it, but to each their own.
I also moved to Chicago and agree with everything above. I found it pretty easy to meet people and don’t think I’ll ever leave.
Not nyc
Def not NYC! Extremely expensive
I loved NYC. It’s not for everyone. Plenty to see & do. Beaches nearby. Skiiing nearby. Culture. Arts. Food. Music. Hard to beat. But dang don’t be broke trying to live in the city. Even if you’re fat with cash, NYC is expensive. NYers have attitude and it’s awesome & annoying too. I made some amazing lifelong friends there. Highly recommend. Oh and it’s great to be near not one but 3 international airports. Choices!
I love NYC, and lived there for 2 years before the pandemic.. but going back to living with roommates of spending 4-5k for a decent place by myself is horrifying.
If you want Florida but don’t want Miami look at Tampa
If you’re flying often, make sure there are direct flights to where you will be flying to the most.
Don’t know about you but my (and most people I work with) project changes every 2-3 months and can be anywhere. As long as you’re near a medium size airport with a major airline (Nashville, Austin, Tampa, etc) you’ll be fine.
If it helps, I was between moving to NYC and Chicago but my offer in Chicago was enough to persuade me to give it a go. I read someone's post that said "85% of what NYC offers me is in Chicago and when I miss it I take a direct flight there for a weekend and spend all the money I save living in Chicago"
I have many friends out on the east coast, and I think New England as a whole has easier access to nature/mountains/lakes. However unfortunately for me the part of life I am now in really wouldn't be a fit currently for NYC.
To offset whatever cons you feel come with the city you choose - set some money aside as a get out fund. Like vacation, but for me it's more intentional to get outdoors to things not available in your city.

FLL is great, lived downtown for several years. Though, over the past year the cost of living has skyrocketed. May be worth it for the lifestyle thou! Happy to answer more questions on the city if you got them
I think so, the greater South Florida area (palm beach all the way down to Miami) has a lot diversity
Hi! I was born in miami and currently live here. Miami has a great food scene and is cool if you like beaches/ water sports etc. I would say we are lacking in things like theater and more cultural events. Even though you do have a melting pot of cultures and you would meet people from everywhere.
Other than that the RE market is insane right now. My rental went up 20% last year and I’m not waiting to find out about this year, I bought a place Only people that are actually buying, are cash buyers right now. My mom is a realtor for EWM and I always hear crazy stories when she’s trying to find properties for people.
If the real estate issue doesn’t bother you, miami is cool. FLL will be cheaper than Miami.

Charlotte: lower cost of living than larger cities, lots of green space, good breweries & restaurants, and an international airport
Lots of young professionals in Charlotte. A lot of the social scene is outdoors, like breweries with big patios full of people in their 20’s & 30’s with dogs or babies in strollers. Charlotte also has greenways, outdoor concerts, both pro & minor league sports, and the US National Whitewater Center.
I would definitely recommend Charleston. Very underestimated city. It’s beautiful, filled with amazing food scene, if you like seafood this is the place. You don’t need a car you can walk everywhere. Amazing weather all year around, very nice young adult crowd, incredible rooftops, and very cool beaches nearby. If my job goes remote I will move to Charleston in a heartbeat.
