Considering job offer 100,000k base salary
I’m having a hard time on Deciding to take a job offer in Palo Alto My biggest hesitation is the average rent cost in Palo Alto being $4,200 for a 1 bedroom
My personal non negotiable are not having a commute / living within 5 miles of my job
the offer I got is $100,000 base and $40,000k in equity after 1 year.
I’m currently with a company where my base pay is $38,480 and $26,100 (housing allowance) & there’s $100 bonus per lease.
So people are saying I’m crazy for even considering to stay but I’m truly having a hard time because
I also would need to pay for full time childcare in Palo Alto most quotes I have are within $2700-3500, so I’m adding that with the cost of housing and it doesn’t really add up and it’s making my head hurt. I’m the sole income provider.
Is this offer something I should be moved to take?
