Phoenix native here! 90k as a S1 is much more than I'm making as a S2. I own a 3 bed, 2 bath house and I own my car outright. Sure it gets hot, but you're inside working all day in the air conditioning... so why does it matter? Besides, COL is low and the weather is beautiful 8 months out of the year. So I'd say DO IT!

Phoenix is legit and 90k will get you a good living

ScCal people feel the patriotic need to toot the SoCal horn, and say that everywhere else sucks. Phoenix is fine. Yes, it gets hot but frankly so does SoCal. I also just accepted a move to Phx and considering COL, quality of life is going way way up.

Yes. Not in AZ but seems like good offer esp since col is low there

90k as a S1 is really good. Why would you not take it? No progression at the company?

Might not be a bad idea

Honestly 90K is a decent salary but the housing market is getting scary high (not California high obviously) but my house I purchased in 2014 is now worth 75% more than what I paid for it!!!!

Thank you all for your inputs.

D1, progression is good too. I am just hesitant due to the fact that I know nothing about AZ and have no family/friends there to ask. I only hear the bad vibes from SoCal peeps about AZ weather and people's mindset and am not sure if it's true or just an exaggeration.

I’m an accounting advisory M2 in Los Angeles and hoping to find a position around $150k in industry. However a recruiter said that’s too high and I should be looking more around $130-140k, I can’t tell though if she’s being honest or just hoping I’ll take a smaller salary so that she can get an easier commission. Thoughts?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.
