Would you move for a 400K TC offer to an LCOL city? Role is exciting and industry is Tech. I’m an EM with total 8 years of experience and MBA.

Yes, in this market that seems like a great exit for EM

Haha 😂 yes.

Offer seems great, assuming you are excited to be in the LCOL city

What’s the role?

If you have received the offer OP, then congrats. Relocation to LCOL would depend on one’s personal preferences (e.g., spouse’s job, kids’s school, weather, outdoors etc). Also, before accepting I would do the due diligence on employment scene in the specific LCOL so that if 6 months down the line you don’t like the job, or there is reorg or any other unexpected event, would there be additional employers that would be hiring someone with your skills and experiences. 400K TC as an EM exit comp is excellent though a bit high, more so in LCOL context, and while I do my initial skepticism, if there is decent amount of RSUs/deferred equity in the mix, it would make sense.

I need a change so badly I’m on the verge of tears almost every day. I’ve invested so much preparing for this career. I know I have so much talent that’s not being utilized. I feel stifled and stuck. I don’t need the health insurance but I’m terrified of giving up financial security. Any suggestions in NH for a sp ed with a MS in ed tech integration and a CAGS in Ed leadership. I am driven by identifying systems and creative problem solving and also have a background in art & design.
