All Real Estate is local but here’s the average for NJ and Texas
NJ $550,000
Texas $325,000
$60,000 in Texas is equal to more than $72,000 in NJ on average (varies by neighborhood)

Remembering 36 years ago trying to make it on $22k. Trying to sell a modest house to a first year teacher at $190k but they couldnt get approval for that much.😔

103K
- 27 years + 5 years purchased from the state

You have to factor in cost of living to really make a fair comparison, but it definitely seems like some states lag pretty far behind others.

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.
