Hey, I'm student from central/eastern europe, graduating from college this summer, and I got a few offers in the US, so I'm deciding where to move. My offers are:

1) New York City, NY ($110k base, $15k average yearly bonus, $20k yearly stock options, $25k signing bonus)
2) San Francisco, CA ($115k base, $20k average yearly bonus, no equity, $20k signing bonus)
3) Seattle, WA ($100k base, $10k average yearly bonus, $15k yearly stock options, $15k signing bonus)
4) Austin, TX ($90k base, $15k average yearly bonus, $15k yearly stock options, $15k signing bonus)

I know that these are all good salaries even for americans (they are straight up crazy for my country), and I'm blessed and thankful.

All have some kind of healthcare coverage + dental, didn't look into that that much, I don't really get sick. And all have some perks (free food/initial computer), but there aren't any so special, that it would be a deciding factor. The job in Seattle might be a little more interesting than others. What I like: freedom (low taxes, low regulations), guns, hiking, good food. Don't really care about the size of the house/apartment I'll be living in, I'm okay with a small studio apartment.

I know that SF/NYC has high taxes and strict gun laws, but they have a good food and a lot of entertainment opportunities. Washington has no income tax, which is cool. Austin has a good live music scene and should be cheaper than the others. I really hate the switching summer/winter seasons, so from this point of view, SF and Austin probably would be better. Other than that, I didn't consider anything else.

What do you think? Did I forget to consider something? Which one would you pick?

what's the job?
>>
>>18011961
Obviously 3

>>18011961

What did you study, and how good were your grades?
>>
>>18011961
Definitely not New York, the cost of living here is astronomical. 110k will not get you nearly as much as you think.
>>
>>18011968
My position is software engineer (or some variation of it).

>>18011972
Can you point out any reasons?

>>18011975
Computer science and system programming, tried to specialize in more low level stuff. Grades not that great, but I have a long work experience, and what I should know, I know very well.

>>18011981
SF will be same in this regard, right? How do people with regular jobs like baristas and cashiers (I guess they make ~$40k) live there?
>>
>>18012000
If you want to be wealthy, pick Texas. Cost of living is too high in the other areas, it would be more like making a fraction of your pay.
>>
>>18012000
I never lived in SF before, but I imagine it is. As for regular people, they'll live in shitty apartments with roommates or live farther away and commute.
