[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][youtube][quote=Anonymous]I get paid 260k here salary.

Similar job but different company offering me 460k salary but I would have to move to nyc

Bonuses are 100k-200k. 100k here. 200k possibly nyc but bonuses are never guaranteed.

Should I consider moving there? Middle and high school age kids here. [/quote]
I would move. No hesitation. You have an opportunity to almost double your pay and you aren’t going for it? Your current pay is low. 
I bet that this job also offers more opportunities to grow. In a few years, you may be at 600k, 700k. 
Your kids will hate you when they learn that you turned down an opportunity to get the family out of “poverty”. Ok, 260k is not poverty, but it’s not much here in the DMV.[/quote]

Shaddup. It’s not poverty or even nearly poverty. So out of touch. I went to college in nyc, and think it could be fun to live there with teens/tweens, but we have a nice house in DC, and would be trading it for a tiny apartment, so I’d be disinclined to move. I grew up in the Hudson valley. I wouldn’t live there and commute. Probably westchester, and that’s worse/more snobby than DC. I’d consider NJ, but how is that better? Never ever Long Island.
