Just accepted a position as Sr. Program manager at a clean energy tech start up. They offered 140k base + 10k bonus. Also provided the option to move to California for +35% cost of living change. Now remote frm atl.

150k seems low for ATL. The houses are as expensive as Sacramento CA. I like the idea of California.

Doing my booth mba program, will likely pivot to investments or mbb. I low key heard ATL mbb offices have shortage of feeder school consultants..maybe I have a shot here.

Thoughts?

What is the name of the energy tech start up ? Giving my 2 cents . 150k in atlanta is not bad at all !

Thank you! Company is Heila

150K is not low for ATL standards, especially when you compare that to the high COL areas from CA or NY.

If your goal is to move to CA, then the relocation boost may be comparatively lower than your MBA peers. If you want to take the risk and get a higher paying job after your MBA, you can either go with the startup role and stay remote until you get a higher paying role in MBB or investment. And you would get much higher pay for those jobs at the CA offices as an MBA hire.

No need to move unless you really want to for the short term, but I’d look for CA startup jobs to give you better comps vs. ATL based startups.

the salaried offer is for 104k ( $52/hr)/ no bonus
