DTI while choosing your next job! #StudentLoans

So i have two offers in hand one is to have a role transition to the Product department, and the other is to take an offer from a larger finance company that offers higher compensation in a San Francisco. I have a huge student debt so** more $ = more security and less tension.**

Current company: Seattle Same Salary Different role (The one that I wanted) High Comfort level Rent: Not too expensive Student debt pressure: Same

Competing offer: San Francisco 62% increase Same Role (Higher Job title) Rent (exorbitant) Student debt pressure (hopefully much lower)

Since there is a big cluster of people here, on Blind, reddit, and reefr,me, I'm posting for advice from people in San Francisco Bay Area about what money it takes to sustain.

TC: 120k

I posted on the Women in Tech forum on Blind and what most of them had to say was I'd probably be in a more financially constrained situation.

New TC ~200k
