Is it just me or are NYC rates starting to get low? I'm getting interviews that's 65k for senior roles at top agencies, but 95-125k in the middle of freaking nowhere in PA and MA for midish roles.

Anyone else feeling this?

* i legit had a recruiter ask what I was hoping to make, and I said what I thought was a big number ($170k) and they said, “oh we can get you $185k” so that’s that

PA and MA constitute as middle of nowhere? I find PA to be bustling lately. A few friends from NYC bought land and buildings and homes out there and work remote so “nowhere” is relative I’d say.

Also hoping “middle of nowhere” isn’t Boston because that’s where I work 😭

I have an offer to do some consulting for a company based out of the UK (I am in the US). The job would not go through a consulting company but would be directly with the company. I have not done any consulting before so I am not sure how it works, what I would need to set up (they mentioned that I would start a LLC and bill them directly, no idea how to do that), how to determine the tax implications of this, or what hourly rate I would expect. Can anyone offer advice?

Hi fishes
Need suggestion. Got an offer with a product company A through referrel with just 70% hike. They initially told me to not look for any offer as it is a referral.

Now, I got another offer with around 150% in another product company B. Joining date in both are by next week. How to politely reject the offer from Company A ( they won't match the new offer). I am afraid if there is any consequences.

Now giving interview with Chubb, Will Chubb match this offer?

Please guide me 🙏
