UBS If I had to move within the company to a different location , how does it work? For example if I move from low cost of living area to high cost of living area does the company re-evaluate the base salary within USA? Or do they come back and mention its your family requirement since your partner is located and you are moving ?Suggestions or experiences any !

Don't sell out for monay if u know u gonna regret it
All the red flags are there lol CW1 I want to work with you.
No 401(k) match is like a $3K pay cut per $50K of salary. Factor in the missing bonus, and the โ$50K moreโ really isnโt $50K more.

DONโT TAKE IT. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.
Iโm not a fan of their lack of ability to align expectations about the purpose of an interview meeting. Thinking itโs an informational chat and then being dropped into a panel situation is pretty unfair and a red flag. Youโll see this 4x a month when you get there. If you accept, set clear expectations around work because they wonโt be able to.

What kind of red flags?
That sounds pretty rough to me, and I agree about 50 K not really being 50 K once you remove the things they arenโt offering. However, I think the real question is whether you think you can do work there that will be good enough to continue building your portfolio and your skillsets. If so, theoretically could be the worth the risk. But If the red flags are telling you that the work will suffer and your mental health will too, forget it. You will become a less desirable employee down the road. Short term payout, long-term loss.๏ฟผ

Probably not, depends on your situation.
If you're thinking it's a bad idea probably is.
Can you strong arm another 50k in your current role by using that offer letter for leverage? Keep your title, 401k and stay with the devil you know?

Digitas hires so many 20 year olds for a reason. Theyโre super cheap. I highly doubt theyโll counter.
Nope. Stay away! You can for sure get 50K more somewhere else in the market now - get that money (with fewer sacrifices)!
You can get a pay bump in other roles. Go with your gut. Unless itโs crazy stupid life changing money (which 50k is not), a terrible job is rarely worth the additional income.

titles are nothing more than letters on a piece of paper and leaving the agency world usually
means a step down.
Itโs still an agency role
Nope. Too many places where you can get $50k extra pay
