I have a job offer in sac with starting salary of $170k my wife and I are young parents with two little ones (6yo and 2yo) I make the same pay in Tulare county right now which is lucky wages around here. Wife is SAHM and would like to have the luxury of keeping it that way at least while our youngest is not in school.

We are under 30 and despite rapid career growth, it’s been a decent financial struggle (was making minimum wage 6 years ago). We don’t have a whole lot saved up.

Rent here for a 3b2 home is 1900 per month in the best school district. Seems like comparable rent out there for school district and home size will require a 1k premium.

Then there is the home buying goal. You can buy a home in Tulare County in the 300k range still and be generally fine with the purchase. New homes start at 400k. Meanwhile in Sac, it seems like there is a +200k -300 premium.

We have lived in and love the Bay Area which is what makes Sacramento appealing. I just feel crazy for even bothering to try. It feels like I should just accept that I am living in the last frontier of California home affordability and hold it down in Tulare county. My oldest is already six!! What would you do??

For the record, Tulare County is in between Fresno and Bakersfield. Strong ag industry, lots of Mexican culture. Hot, dusty, but it is home. Sequoia national park to the east. Very pretty but not accessible the way Tahoe is.

Who here has worked a DE job with D365 F&O at the heart? What challenges did you face? What tools helped you succeed (or failed you)?

I joined the firm as the SQL analyst and became the ERP guy along the way. Then cost accountant, then FP&A, and at this point I’m presenting in front of the BoD in the finances of this business. I can ask for Director of FP&A or not at this point and would still be responsible for all of the above.

I am under 30 and have grown my salary from 70k to 170k in 5 years. I’ve learned a lot along the way. In a perfect world I would be Director of Analytics and have the budget to upgrade to Business Central and Azure DataBricks. Not happening. The business is fragile and needs FP&A mgmt more than anything.

Would you take on the challenge? I am in talks with a company looking to do an enterprise upgrade.
