Just got an offer letter from IBM Consulting for an Application Developer role in Louisiana. Salary is $60k/year with a $3k sign-on bonus. For context I'm based in NYC, graduating this week, and have Walmart SWE intern experience on my resume.

There are a few things throwing me off and I'd love some perspective:

  1. I never interviewed for this role. I applied and interviewed for an Azure Cloud Migration position and got rejected from that. Then out of nowhere I received this offer for an Oracle Application Developer role at a completely different IBM center.

  2. I haven't seen anyone talk about this role online.

  3. i don't have a car or driver's license

  4. It's the only offer I have right now. So I'm weighing whether to accept, get paid, and keep applying or decline and grind.

Is $60k reasonable for this role/location?
