Do you really feel tighter when taking cost of living into account? I am trying to leave NY and worry about this - esp when considering cars and potential mortgage

Any negotiating tips are welcome 🫣

Generally from 110 for small metros, up to like 150 for Chicago. I wouldn't be shy to ask for 130 or more.

I just accepted a job as a CD of Copy (but I think they think of it more like an ACD) in NYC, definitely underpaid at 125k. But they initially wanted to hire as a senior copywriter and said 110k, so I figured 125 might be as much as they can do… and there’s potential for a raise. But I know 155 is minimum what it should be, and could have gotten 175 in house. But wanted to build my book at an agency. Now I hear they don’t even have many clients lined up…

110 in Kc

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
