For dc offer to be “par” with Dallas it would need to be closer to $150-160k because of CoL. I’d take Dallas if it’s about the money for you. I currently live in DC and love it but it’s expensive as hell.

AFS hours are very good however and I imagine the upward mobility would be greater too.

If all you want to do is hard skills machine learning/DS I’d take the airline. If you want to eventually get into more of a managerial/SME role I’d consider AFS

All I want to do is technical work and hard skills. I figured AFS would be better for that since it's a MLE position as opposed to DS which is more business focused

Dallas. Role is better and comp is better. Plus think of the benefits of working for an airline ✈️

You’ll feel like you have a decent earning job in Dallas. DC not so much.

I thought data scientists would make more

I would take AFS, but depends on your goals and the type of work you want to do. Plus Dallas is hella boring.

Why would you take AFS?

Depends on whether it’s SWA or AA. If SWA, its a no brainer, great work life balance and much higher profit sharing than AA so TC might be slightly higher.

I’ve heard ok things about AA corporate, supposedly getting better. Some departments love it, others hate it.

Hi,

I have offer interview next week of 1 hour.
I already have offer of 16 lpa. My YOE is 5.7, how much can I ask from EPAM? And they can happily pay?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
