Date: February 22nd, 2018 12:50 AM Author: Bateful son of senegal one of santa barbara, san diego, or laguna beach. would i be an idiot to turn this down? the alternative would be not to move from my current city, where my wife and i have established a good social circle, and stop plans to try going solo with the hope of pulling at least 300k per year (which i'm reasonably confident i can do after a year of ramp up). our current city is expensive though (SF or LA), and the alternative if i dont accept the job offer is to stay here and continue to try to make it. wife can transfer to whatever city and keep her job. we're renting now b/c the idea of buying a house when quitting my job to go solo is a bit scary - so taking this job offer would shortcut everything and allow us to buy a house in the next 6 months.

Date: February 22nd, 2018 9:59 AM Author: Bateful son of senegal other opinions? my fear is that im continuing to wage cuck at this new place, whereas i could at least take a stab at the entrepreneurial/solo world otherwise (and remain in my current city - so less stress re moving and trying to make new friends). certainly there's a non-zero chance that i could be pretty successful as a solo and bring in 500k+ per year.
on the other hand, 350k for a senior level in-house gig where i would oversee a team and would place me closer in line to being qualified for a GC (of a smaller shop) or a deputy GC (of a larger shop) is interesting as well. part of the attraction here is the "fuck you" i can give to my current boss by leaving for a competitor, the prestige of the title and managerial position, and of course the guarantee of money coming in. in this gig, i could immediately buy a decent home rather than waiting for 2 years to see how the solo pursuit plays out. |

If it’s biotech in SD, take it. You and your wife can live a charmed life in La Jolla. |

Date: February 22nd, 2018 1:58 PM Author: Bateful son of senegal 350-450k HHI seems really low for La Jolla, Del Mar, or any other desirable part of SD.
Why shouldn't I try the solo route? My ceiling would be uncapped. |

Date: February 22nd, 2018 2:17 PM Author: laughsome yapping dilemma I was assuming like $500k DINKs.
Solo work just sounds like you gotta hustle and take that risk to make it when in house is easy and $350k puts in high enough position to make $500k long term there or somewhere else.
Just depends if you want to work hard or not to make it. If you’re ok working hard then go solo.

Date: February 22nd, 2018 2:31 PM Author: Bateful son of senegal Yea I guess we'd be at 500k HHI.
This is such a dilemma bc in-house life does tend to be more stable and this particular gig would be pretty senior. But I'm still itching to hit a home run and make tons of money. In house life is equivalent to a middle middle class life only. |

InHouse in tech, for example, is prestigious.
InHouse in any non-tech, non-finance company is TTT unless it's F500 and you're high up. |
