Need offer eval advice. I am trying to decide between the following two offers:

1 - $100k in Houston, TX, Analyst position.

2 - $130k in the Bay Area, Manager position.

The stocks, and bonuses differ by maybe $5k between Houston, and the bay area (obviously $5k more in the bay)

Same WLB, the bay area position offers more WFH.

^.. This new role is after 2years of experience (post undergrad), and now finishing grad school.

Houston is Product data analyst in an energy-tech hybrid company.

Bay area is a program manager for a startup.

Undergrad was in Oil and gas, Master’s in Engineering Management.

you’d be a manager straight out of college?

Some context on your past experience and details about the role would help.

Eg: New grad, $100K analyst role in consulting or banking makes it easier to evaluate

Bay Area is incredibly expensive… something to keep on mind.

In the Bay Area company a start up?

Yes, bay area company is a startup

Program manager is a manager position only if you have direct reports, which is rarely the case

^Thanks. I had not considered this lens. I really appreciate the input :)

PM for sure - network your way to FAANG for 200k+ a year
