Without some real numbers, locations, and data or feels like everyone is struggling to give you advice. yeah what spwrozek said beefeater, you stated the position is like FAANG L8 equivalent or whatever. it's clearly a ton of money and nitpicking over headline marginal tax brackets or potential future baseline job comps is not going to decide anything for you. just pick the place you want to live and move on with life.

 If you're actually talking about an L8 income, or poo poo even half that, then you will live an exceedingly comfortable life virtually anywhere in America and you will have access to the best of everything including healthcare. In the top couple percentiles of income/wealth personal QOL is extremely high in America because its pay to play and you can easily pay. Very different story at the national median but at the level you mention you'd really just have very little to worry about. But if you just don't like the vibes in America, which is fair, then money probably won't fill that void in your life. Since you're being cagey with details it's impossible to make a more detailed comparison. Guinness fucked around with this message at 18:52 on May 12, 2024 |

How the heck do I handle this situation? I interviewed for a large well known company and got the job or so I thought. I went through the basic HR screen, passed the tech interview and had a final round with the director. The recruiter tells me they'd like to onboard me along with a call from their HR department letting me know that re-location is included and I should start at the beginning of June. A week goes by and there's still no official offer letter. I called the recruiter, he tells me there system is down, I check and it is in fact down. He tells me it should be back up in another week, when I log in there should be an offer letter along with new hire stuff it but nothing has changed. My application is still pending. The recruiter, who works for a separate company seems confident it's a real job offer but he hasn't reached out to me either. The wild part about all of this is that I never stopped interviewing even after the recruiter gave me the congratulatory call because I already had them scheduled and wanted to ensure that I didn't get dropped. Turns out, I've already got a job from another company with an offer that's better and an official offer letter. What do I do? Do I just drop it completely? Unless they give me a way better offer, I really don't want it.

If they had their act together, they'd find a way to get you an offer letter that doesn't depend on one specific bit of software. Take the better offer, then decline the other offer if they ever bother to actually send it

If you're interested in the first company tell the recruiter that you have an offer letter and see if that helps them move faster.
