A 10k loss is significant. I am not an OT baller and am make around 70k. They offered 60k with 401k matching, great benefits, etc.

It is nearly 12 hours from our family. Not close to mine really, but my wife is close to hers. This is a significant factor. I want my kids to know their grandparents.

very, very important.

Your immediate 10K loss is quite significant, but what do short and medium term look like?

Health insurance 100%?

What about your vehicle?

Do they have a relocation allocation?

$60k with a family in Colorado is gonna have you pretty damn poor here. Housing is pretty damn high and so is cost of living. I love living here and hope I never have to move but 60k isnt gonna go far here. Does your wife work?

Ehh, we lived 8 and 10 hours away from my grand parents. I didnt know them that well because 3 of them passed away before I was in middle school. The other was while I was in college. Saw her several times a year, would stay with her during the summer, not a big a deal.

I wouldn't take my kids away from their grandparents for a paycut


plus state income tax

plus higher cost of living


If you don't like your job find another one but if this one can't even match your current salary then they don't want you very bad.
