Fable, Sonnet, Opus, curious what's the one you select.

Im just ramping up to it so curious.

So I am currently a SWE II at Spotify in NY and work remote and have about 4 YOE. My TC should be 240k, but with stock depreciation it's fallen to around 210k.

I have just gotten an offer at Roblox but would need to move to San Mateo, but the TC is 350k, which is almost 140k more. But nobody there, and brand new place.

I am single, but am on the older side with being 28 turning 29 and have been in NY my whole life.

Would you make this move? Or is this crazy? It's a hard offer to turn down, but my parents telling me it's not worth it.

Just want to ask people here who got some experience if they got any advice on which offer I should take. I been unemployed for a year and 2 months after my dad died and I took a break, I got laid off and because of familial responsibilities and a little of depression, I took a long break. I know we don't like that many good posts here, but Ive been down for a while, so please give me a break.

I have 3 years and 4 months of experience at a food delivery company before, so that's that.

The offers are: All for Backend SWE II btw
