i don't want to be underpaid
i'm finishing up year 2 of my 3 year fldp. i'm at a top aerospace and defense company, and a "perk" to this program is that i'll automatically be promoted to sr. financial analyst when i'm done.
here is the problem- a&d is arguably the lowest paying industry. i found a data pull in our financial system that shows exact salaries for different job grades in different cities, and found that sfas with 5-6 years experience average right at $70k ($2k average deviation) in lower col metros (think atlanta, dallas, phoenix). higher col areas (ne, la, dc) take that average to about $75k.
you guys really need to state which major city you're based in when putting this shit out there. i make $75k in a tier 3 low col city, and to have the same standard of living, i'd have to make $136k in sf, per the cost of living calculators. your $140k in a nyc/sf/la isn't that much better than his $70k in a low tier2 / tier 3 city. not hating on it, it's good money don't get me wrong, but you're comparing shit on absolute terms instead of relative terms.
edit: also need to add the amount of hours you work. if he's working 40 hours and you're working 55-60, its apples to oranges.
i worked for walmart ecommerce (and jet.com) in hoboken for a few years, and i'm currently at bloomberg. let's me start out by saying that both offers are surprisingly low.with 6 yoe, you should be at least a senior engineer at walmart and definitely a senior engineer at bloomberg.aim for 155k to 160k base with 40k signon (and 40k rsu) at walmart. and 200k base with 30k signon (and 40k+ bonus) at bloomberg.in terms of culture, walmart is pretty inefficient and slow and could be purposeless. but it's relaxed and expectations aren't too crazy.bloomberg is fast paced, transparent, very very efficient and could be stressful at the beginning. also, it's very purposeful (many big firms and companies depend on the code "you" write), but... the codebases and code quality may not always be good because of the speed at which code is written and commited.good luck. about 10% lower than swes at google. which is still way higher than want asic companies pay. my rule of thumb is ideally >20% (the higher the better), though there are exceptions if you're about to price yourself out of the market or there are other benefits to working at the new firm (e.g. employee benefits are better, the work is not fulfilling, better client alignment, etc). i wouldn't accept a pay cut, though. finding a wife. might leave the bay area for it (among other reasons)career wise i’m not too ambitious. i’m already l5 and would be 100% happy with that comp outside of the bay area. not sure if principal/l6 is worth the added stress. for l5 i’ve seen 115 to 120k base and 30-50k rsu apple: top few most valuable companies in the world. amazing products. doing interesting work in several fields. could stop selling product for years and still be solvent.alipay: rapid growth, large but niche market. chinese owned. pre ipo so your options are worthless. about ready to ipo so probably really diluted too.lyft: lower comp, smaller and niche market. dependent on gig workers to provide labor. long term outlook?really depends on what you want, but unless one of the others really interests you for some reason, go with apple for a while. probably better comp, looks great on resume. i'm an engineer so don't know exactly how much an em makes but my gut feeling says it should be around 65-70k sek a month before tax (we don't mesure salary annually here in europe 😁) ic data scientists get compensated very well at the top tech companies. probably more than directors at your company. there's no guarantee that any amount of internal advancement will get you into those companies from cpg. best bet is to get good at data science and apply as an ic at tech firms to break into the industry. hii..

according to me,the cut off will be around 90-95 marks for general category,50-55 marks for obc category,35-40 marks for sc category and 25-30 marks for st category.so it is difficult to be predict now.

please see the table below for previous years trends:-

 

jee main cut off trends (2013-2017)

| s.no. | category | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 |
| 1 | general | 81 | 100 | 105 | 115 | 113 |
| 2 | obc-ncl | 49 | 70 | 70 | 74 | 70 |
| 3 | sc | 32 | 52 | 50 | 53 | 50 |
| 4 | st | 27 | 48 | 44 | 47 | 45 | i can only give you estimates based on what we spend with a family of 4. i am a stay at home mom, my husband commutes about 20 minutes to work and i have a teenage driver (16 year old girl) and a teenage boy with a huge appetite. i am now spending about $200 a week on groceries with two teenagers. gas is costing us about $100 a week. car insurance is about $400 per year. our housing runs about $1,800 per month with insurance. we live in a nice neighborhood but our house is only about 2200 sq. ft. you can definitely get larger homes for less money in a less expensive neighborhood, but i would defintely stay on the east side -- sandy and draper are nice. if you go on the west side, be sure it's southwest -- south jordan, riverton, bluffdale. 

since i'm digressing, i'll just continue on this bent. your better schools are on the east side -- anywhere on the east side. if you want to go north of salt lake, consider bountiful, and fruit heights (good schools, but slightly more expensive) stay away from ogden, woods cross and layton. traffic into and out of davis county is horrendous.

if you go one county south (utah county) you have an excellent school district with alpine. avoid lehi. alpine and highland are lovely little suburbs with great schools and a great atmosphere nestled right up against the mountains. home prices and taxes are higher than other places (like american fork, pleasant grove and orem) but they are very sweet places to live. if you're not mormon i probably would'nt consider them -- they're about 98% mormon. mormons are very nice people typically (i know -- i am one) but you're kids might feel a bit left out not being one of the majority.

ok, back to the topic at hand. if you would like to email me, i would be happy to tell you what we make and how we live, but i'd rather not broadcast that all over the internet. email me at daves\_comet@yahoo.com. i would be happy to answer any questions you may have about moving to salt lake. let's just say that i moved here 20 years ago and i have never found a place i like better. i have lived in many cities in different parts of the world, but this is where i hang my heart.

good luck.
