It depends. If you plan to stay at a company for a while join in which state you plan to live longer. AMGEN HQ is in CA and J&J is in NJ. If you want career growth then you should network with more people internally and is easier if you can visit the office. Amgen has 1 week shutdown in summer and winter. J&J only in winter unless they changed it.

Amen WLB and culture is great. I’m at Amgen but remote on the East Coast so I know lots of JnJ people. Never hear anything good about JNJ.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
