My first salary in Chicagoland was 70k after just over two years experience in another market, for whatever that's worth.

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities.

I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

I could potentially get him to set up one-on-ones to help explain the commercial real estate market. Even if this property doesn’t seem interesting, I think an interaction wouldn’t hurt.. contd

Is anyone here a SWE who started from scratch? No education or background in tech or IT, was working in an unrelated area, self taught through free online resources and ended up getting a job? I failed the non technical assessment for a bootcamp and that was my shot at finally learning with a place that could help me. That really discouraged me and made me feel like I’m just not smart enough to be working in tech at all, let alone as a SWE.
