A little bit of history on where i am and what i'm doing. When i first got the call about this position i was a little indecisive on if i should take it. I was at Dell corporate previously and sizing a rather large deployment which would have looked great on my resume. I got the call about NYC a week into it and they asked if i would mind being pulled from that cake job in Texas to be put on this emergency job in NYC. All is fine and dandy but the project has gone through a few tough times and will continue to do so. I wasn't exactly aware of the exposure i got with this position and thanks to my good friend who convinced me to come to consulting in the first place i'm now being offered a position in the north east region of our Global Services division, mainly the financial sector. The reason for the good exposure to the higher ups is i'm busting my ass here and turned the clients view of our company around.
I've decided its the best career move i can make at this point but the downfalls are i may have to move here. I make a modest salary at this point and i'm on the bottom run as far as job titles go. I would be promoted a few steps up from where i am and i'm wondering what kind of pay increase i should look for. I also have to factor in cost of living changes and whatever taxes may be taken out while i live in NY as apposed to FL. Anyone have experience or advice for this type of undertaking?
Its not exactly what i would prefer to do, as my family is all in Florida but the exposure i got because of this job has put me in a great position to negotiate and my name is now known to a much wider range of very important people including the VP of our Global Services department of whom i have a dinner planned with. I never thought this would happen as quickly as it did and i'm not exactly prepared for it, but i am excited about the possibilities and doors it will open.
I know its not a "So i'm dating this crazy bitch" blog thread, but hopefully someone has some insight.
