Hey guys, I’m hopeful at getting a job offer and would be relocating, so I had a couple questions I could hopefully get answered.
How does ARCH work in terms of calculating income? Is it just base salary or is it total comp?
If it’s just base salary, is it worth negotiating for a lower salary and higher stocks, benefits, etc for the same TC? I can see how this can be frowned upon, but it’s looking like the offer would be around 110k base salary, which is only $230 more than the limit for a studio/1b under ARCH. Having to pay an extra couple hundred a month cause I’m over the limit by such a small amount just feels bad I guess so I figured there’s no harm in asking.
Do any of you know of any brand new apartments that aren’t insanely expensive? The only one I see is Copal, but I’m not a big fan of the studio design/floor plan. I want to explore my options but I dont want to spend more than 2200-2300 a month on rent alone. I’m only looking for studios not 1b.
How reliable is public transportation here? My potential work would be downtown Seattle and I’m considering taking public transit to and from work rather than driving. Would that be possible? If so would it be a huge time commitment?
TIA
