It's a good offer for tax. But CoL is brutal there.

Yeah, I wouldn't go SF unless I work as SWE or Investment banker lol

Don’t go to SF unless you’re making 160 plus. From what I’ve heard it’s the top 3 most brutally expensive places to live in the US.

Not to mention coming from Texas? You don’t pay state income taxes to the highest state income tax in the country plus all the other extremely high taxes. I’d consider that strongly.

Make sure you’re calculating the state income tax difference too

SO and I each make about $105k living in SF, and we do pretty well. Just bought a condo, so I'd say $400k is more than you need.

Sounds low to me

Idk about if that rate is a good offer but to speak to those saying SF is hard to live in without more, it’s true, but not impossible. If you’re willing to budget for food and shop around for a good spot (even without a roommate), 100k is doable assuming no loans and car payments. I’m at 100 and I’m still able to max my 401k. Giving up the guac add ons and making my own food and cocktails at home tho. It honestly has built character and discipline. before I was living with parents and ordering delivery every day and gaining weight. All of that weight is gone now. Making your own food also requires shopping. Whole Foods is right next door, but I need to make longer trip to Trader Joes and Costco which is an inconvenience but certainly not undoable.

I am currently a 2nd year senior making $107k in tax in SF (getting a raise soon though), so that offer sounds decent.

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore?

On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.
