Have been working at a gov contracting company and the WLB and tech stack is good. Also it is fully remote. I recently interviewed with capital one and got an offer for their senior engineer role. Here is a comparison between the jobs: Current role: Comp: 110k Bonus: None Days in office: Remote Commute: none Capital one: Comp: ~170k Bonus: ~9k Days in office: 3 Commute: 35min Location: McLean My question is that I know Capital one has much better compensation but I am worried about the stack ranking that they do there. I am prepared to work hard but I’ve heard that if you get a bad manager you are screwed. What do you all think is the best choice. Stay or go? Any team recommendations or teams to stay away from?
