It's about right for new manager without MBA. Your buying power in Houston will be a world a difference compared to the 5k you're losing in NYC. Not a fan of Houston personally. Ideally you land in Dallas or Austin

I like it. I’m a refugee from Cali and love Houston

You'll save at least 25k / yr moving to Houston CoL wise . (Lived in both cities in college internships). Assuming you're in tech at Cap, you're getting a better name. Don't feel like the times are impacting consulting too much, been getting more hits on LinkedIn from consulting firms than ever. Maybe trying to arbitrage a cheaper labor market though. Can you negotiate the salary at all?

At least 30% lower cost if living, paid $35k more, and ~10% less on taxes.... you're coming out waaayyyyy ahead my friend.

Well $135K in Houston is more than $140 in NY, but 9 yoe- ask for more

Gotta adjust for cost of living and no state tax. Not a bad offer.

Never ever consider taking a pay-cut, irrespective of the location in the same country. If they like you enough they will always bump your salary. The least they should be doing is matching status quo.

You decrease your value in the market if u take a pay cut.

To clarify, my salary in Capgemini just got changed to 140k - it used to be 120k until last year. So, it was pay bump but minor.

If they truly value you, they’d at least match the offer. Less about the 5k, more about how much value they see in you

I’m at EY in Houston. This is a decent offer for S3. There are stronger salaries available depending on the specific practice. Does Cap offer much variable comp? EY doesn’t. Tech is becoming more and more our focus, so you’re aligned to our key growth area generally but specific practice will matter. Separately, you should confirm that your offer is still available and that your start date hasn’t been effective. We’ve frozen most hiring but we are honoring commitments. Personally, I love Houston- it’s home for me. I also love NYC and it’s a true city in the purest sense, unlike Houston which has a bit of everything within its wonky boundaries. Just very different cities.

To add further details - offer is at Senior 3 position, not in Manager position.

Do you expect to be let go on July 1st ?

No. Not expecting to be laid off.

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?
