80k in Silicon Valley is damn near poverty level. Something like making 40k in DC

For no grad degree and 1 year exp it's not TERRIBLE, but lower end of the spectrum for silicon valley.

Education, background? 80-90k in silicon valley is low unless this is entry level

Econ, would be 1 year exp after undergrad

It’s not a bad salary, but I wouldn’t want to move to Silicon Valley for 80k, especially considering taxes

Go to FAANG instead

I wouldn’t do it for sub $100k. They’re definitely quoting you lower end of the range.

Thanks everyone. Considering I’m making less than that now at the analyst level, I’m trying to see how exiting consulting for this opportunity would look like. I’m thinking long term comp, Bschool Admissions, etc

Where do you live?
I make 75k and turned down 100k in SF because it would be a downgrade in living

Okay OP. My friend who makes 75k in Atlanta turned down a 130k offer in san fran... the cost of living is just too crazy. Also just wait two damn minutes, hit consultant, then go get a mangerial position at cisco for 150k..

Why would you take this?

Okay interesting. @A2 wait, SCs make 150kish post-m20MBA, how in the hell does someone go from C to Manager at Cisco making 150k😂? Is your friend a software engineer? @c1 I’d take this because it’s business operations. I feel like that’s the closet thing to strategy in industry as it gets (aside from internal strategy groups). Would you disagree?

I agree, but to live on 80k in Silicon Valley doesn’t sound worth it lol

Tired of fish trolls

After the new overall market pay increase, a lot of younger fishes (<3- 5yoe) don't really know what a good offer is anymore and honestly ask if 25lpa is "good" enough. The reason they ask is because they honestly DON'T KNOW. They haven't been around the industry or earning many years to know the value of a great increment.

75% of the comments are trolls trying to put the person down. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything and move on in life.

I have an interesting one. I recently was hired (temp-to-perm) for a leading tech industry hardware manufacturer in TA.

It has a senior title, but is essentially a process admin role (as are all my peers in a similar title / level.) The company HAS converted nearly every person that got thru their trial, but it's mindless. Yet it's the most money I have ever made. It's WFH.

What would you do? Mindless big check, zero benefit to career or start looking?

Hi there,

If you or someone you know is hiring for an Internal communications lead focused on employee engagement, I’d love a connection.

I decided to leave my company without a new role lined up to focus on finding the right fit. I’ve been lucky to land roles where I wanted to stay for years, but unfortunately the company culture didn't align with my values and was not the right fit.

I help leaders and teams inform, inspire and connect with their employees.

Thanks,
