True - but then if you consider Austin TX vs NYCAnalyst at Vista's 200k > Insight 250kAssociate at Vista's 350k > Insights 400k? (not sure about this one)

Also at the junior level, I think basing a decision on pay is not wise. Learning, growth, wlb etc > short term pay that will be dwarfed and insignificant compared to later on senior level pay

 

What I care about the most tbh is pay and WLB

Lol what.

Also I was under impression, Vista pays signficnatly less at the analyst associate level. Much lower than 200k. But you would know since it seems like you're deciding between offers.

 

Do you have offers from these? Are you in a process?

Answer depends on what you have on the table
