Just got a promotion to go to 105k + 10% bonus unlimited PTO (trust me when I say I really use my PTO.. 😂) for embedded software engineer in Melbourne Fl. Should I start looking for a new job?

Confused by your question - are you looking for better comp?

Do you like the job? Do you like your coworkers? Do you like the managers you work with? Those are some questions I want answered before I weigh in and talk about comp.

Yes.. Tbh, I wish I could just move from individual contributor to PM and get a full time remote position. But, based on what I presented ( on my compensation for this area) , would like to know if I’m actually underpaid.

If cost of living is similar to Miami then yeah I would say underpaid. There are remote positions but I find that those may underpay you in contrast to where you actually live (I live in NYC). You can definitely get more elsewhere, I think it could be difficult to justify a large hike in salary in your current position considering what they are offering now, but always worth a shot.

No, the cost of living in Melbourne is way cheaper than in Miami. But thanks for the comment☺️

Comp seems low relative to exp, imo

Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.
