How old are you, and how long have you been traveling?
Seems like FAANG is a good bet. You could also go for a top tier hedge fund and bust your balls for a year. They pay straight cash and a huge bonus. Prob the best bet if you have a 1 year time limit, since the FAANG vesting doesn't help.
I'm well-traveled but want to do the same thing. Idk if I'm good enough for the top tier companies though. Might just chill at my fairly easy banking job at 130k.
- giantg2 6y ago$130k sounds nice. I don't even make that. One word of caution about bonuses. I would not bet on a bonus. Bonuses tend to be very political. I have been screwed a few times when it comes to bonuses.
- throw_this_one 6y agoYeah I just got screwed and got zero bonus this past year. Apparently the recruiter told me this. She basically did a play on words. Where are you at though? This is 130k in nyc which is super expensive.
- giantg2 6y agoAh, less expensive here (Philly). Still, it's like a 50% increase over what I make.
