Who wants to help me choose a job?

Posted by loosilu (aka loosilu2) Oct 19 '23, 14:41

In order to portray monetary offers, I will use 10 as my last salary.

A - 100% on site, 30 minute car commute, 11.5 offer. Agency title looks sexy on CV.
B - 100% remote. First offer was 9. I said I'm sorry, I can't do that. She immediately said I'm authorized to offer 10. I said ok that's a starting point.
C - 100% onsite, 40 minute public transit commute, no solid offer, they want to talk to me more. the number dangled was 14.

Thoughts about how to tell A&B about C? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 15:06 1
- Look I’m not trying to create a bidding war but, already solid offer… -- nm - VMan Oct 19, 15:34
Is this your last job or your next job? If it’s the one you are using to get the next one, then A. Last job, wait for C. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Oct 19, 15:04 4
- This is my next job. I am between jobs. - loosilu Oct 19, 15:05 3
  - By last I mean the job you retire after, not your former job. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Oct 19, 15:06 2
    - oh, god no. I expect it to be 3 years -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 15:07 1
      - Then pad the resume with the best title. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Oct 19, 15:55
how confident is the time of commute to A job? how are you with office politics/bullshit? how much is car expense, sometimes 90% but WFH is samish -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 19, 14:56 3
- Very confident, it is a commute that goes against rush hour. - loosilu Oct 19, 15:03 2
  - fyi, working remote does not protect from office politics -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 15:09 1
    - It does change the tempo, though. Does it make them easier or harder for someone in your role/industry to navigate? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 15:21
How pressed are you to start? For 14, I might wait if I could afford to. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 14:53 3
- I have absolutely no rush whatsoever. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 15:03 2
  - Hold out for 14. You know you had quick 10-11.5 actions. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 15:50 1
    - very good point, thank you. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 16:53
B or C. B for the remote option and C for the fat stacks of dough plus no driving. Public transit > driving -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 14:52 5
- You ever been on DC Transit though? - colin Oct 19, 14:53 4
  - lolol! It's a mixed bag. It depends on your specific route. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 15:04
  - Ha! - Krusty Oct 19, 14:56 2
    - Just like MTA, it's mixed. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 15:08 1
      - For sure. -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 15:14
How much do you value wfh? - colin Oct 19, 14:52
A unless B ups it’s offer to at least 11.5. - The Allfather Oct 19, 14:50 1
- Oh wait, B. I didn’t realize A wasn’t WFH. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 19, 15:03
B but A looks good cause of the sexy title -- nm - Pippy the Lioness Oct 19, 14:49
