Offered $62K Job in Dallas: Is It Worth It? /u/Solid-Relationship27 CSCQ protests reddit

Offered $62K Job in Dallas: Is It Worth It? /u/Solid-Relationship27 CSCQ protests reddit

So as you can tell from the title, I got offered a job in Dallas that pays $62K annually + $3000 sign-on offer and a 7% bonus based on how the company performs and my contributions to the company. The position I would be accepting is a data analyst position and this is honestly the field I want to go into. I love data analytics and I know it doesn’t pay the most in the big data field (data engineering and data science pay more) but something about getting down and dirty with massive datasets and learning what the data “says” is far more interesting and fun than being some code monkey or someone who just works on housing the data for some company. Many data scientist positions require at least an MB and more preferably a PhD and I don’t have the financial resources to go to school + I really just want to go into industry. The company that has offered me this role is a very large company and has worked with tons of name brands and would look amazing to have on my resume but the pay isn’t enough for me to go into the office 5 days a week while living in Dallas because, don’t know if you guys know this /s, Dallas is expensive!!! I am going to try and negotiate salary with the company but I don’t know if I’ll be able to.

What do you guys think? I graduate in May 2025 and am trying to get a job lined up before I graduate just to ease my anxiety. If you guys need more context or have questions (or would even like my resume for any reason), I can provide. Thank you all so much.

Any recommendations on job hunting/swe coaching services? /u/ViSAndres CSCQ protests reddit

Any recommendations on job hunting/swe coaching services? /u/ViSAndres CSCQ protests reddit

Hi everyone!

I am an iOS developer with around 3 years of professional experience. I got laid off around four months ago and have been struggling to land an offer. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience or can recommend any interview/ job placement coaching services, please?

I’ve seen many services online but with such high prices and options I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations first, specially if it’s iOS focused.

Thank you!

I built ZenSearch, a no-BS job searching tool /u/eipi-10 CSCQ protests reddit

I built ZenSearch, a no-BS job searching tool /u/eipi-10 CSCQ protests reddit

Hey everyone! I’ve posted once or twice before, but there’s been a lot of progress since then and I thought you all might find [ZenSearch](https://zensearch.jobs/) useful. It’s a no-BS job searching tool focused on the job seeker that I started building for myself to use, but then it gained a lot of popularity from people here in the community 🙂

It’s free, we have no promoted jobs or content, no ads, your jobs go straight to the company via their job board (no intermediary), and we only will show jobs that match your preferences. We also don’t sell or share your data with anyone. Right now it’s mostly focused on tech jobs, especially start-ups and medium-sized companies.

The site lives at https://zensearch.jobs – hope you all find it useful!

Reframing a salary negotiation due to additional commute times /u/pandaboi35 CSCQ protests reddit

Reframing a salary negotiation due to additional commute times /u/pandaboi35 CSCQ protests reddit

I recently got an offer for a position that is 20k over my current with the possibility of a bonus (they estimated to be around 8k) – its a remote position with an office that is on average 1.5 hours away. So 3-4 hours potentially on a given day of total commute. Although its remote, it was “strongly encouraged” to show face probably twice a week. My current position is mostly remote and I may commute once a week into either an office that is 30 minutes away or at most 50 minutes away.

Is it wise to use commute as a factor in asking for more? I’m guessing not but wanted to hear how one might reframe this. The commute is a huge factor and I would not accept it at the current rate.

Should I even pursue career as a React dev? /u/ducksareeevil CSCQ protests reddit

I’ve been looking around this sub and seen people saying that frontend is oversaturated right now and basically cooked. The issue is that I have ended up getting a potential offer as a junior React developer, but I’m very worried about my job security in few years (+ salary isn’t so great and really want to try find something else) So, should I even peruse a career as a React developer, or should I try finding something else. I was thinking about MLE, but people are saying that it is oversaturated too. What can I even do to have a job security? Learning some other field in CS?

Should I stick to my great comfortable current job or go for masters in the US. /u/CheekyFinder CSCQ protests reddit

Should I stick to my great comfortable current job or go for masters in the US. /u/CheekyFinder CSCQ protests reddit

I am 22 and landed a remote job in the most amazing startup in March this year after working in shitty companies. I was an early employee (emp no. 3) and the company is still under 15 people but the work culture has been great. I get to work whenever I want, the founders are of technical background so are very very understanding of timelines and my work timings, I can live in my own city (although I miss the networking and social life in the metros). There is zero politics and ego involved (mostly UK leadership, Indian work culture is really bad.), very very minimal redtape, and the pay is good enough (22 LPA). The work is fulfilling as well. I am going to be offered stock in the coming increment cycle before our next funding round later next year (although it comes with a vesting period).

But here’s the dilema. I’ve always wanted to go for US masters, earn 100-200k, start my own startup maybe. I wanted to do buisness, work with the best minds in the world yada yada yada. And I see my friends doing it. Plus in my current city, I lack any and I mean Any networking opportunities. I want some time for myself to explore, enjoy college life that I missed out due to working during my college years to fund my education. I have 2 dependants and I’m the sole breadwinner (no father) for my family so I never really got to chill out like the rest of my peers.

Should I stick to my job where my compensation won’t rise more that 10% a year or should I go for the masters. Do I give up on my dreams to be comfortable this early on in my career?
