The tollway to the airport makes it better

I’m in Lafayette, so a bit closer. But if you pick up the toll road, it’s not bad. I always take it for work because I’m not paying.

There's a lot of great 1-2 bedroom, relatively affordable apartments in Lafayette, as well as the surrounding towns (Erie, Broomfield, Thornton). I lived in Lafayette for 3 years and commuted to Aurora (so near the airport) 2-3 times per week. It's a frustrating drive, but not super terrible. And it's totally worth it to live out there!

I’m Denver because I need the “city” feel still. But Longmont by itself is fine (better than going down south to Springs) but I rate Louisville or Golden as better suburban settings. Assuming Denver, Boulder and Cherry Creek are too pricey.

boulder is definitely expensive. Apartments are like NYC level price

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
