I work in wastewater/water treatment designing the plants, my unemployed ass is currently greatly enjoying two employers fighting over me, one in Charlotte the other in Conway. I would be commuting or hybrid for either so location is less relevant. Both do roughly the same work, NC is salary exempt with slightly lower pay ($70k) and slightly better benefits (employer paid, supplemental insurance not included), SC is hourly nonexempt with slightly higher pay ($72k) but slightly worse benefits (not employer paid, around $3k employee paid, this does not include supplemental insurance) both are ESOP with immediate eligibility. NC does not currently wanna ultra murder me(also Asheville exists) however this could flip at literally any moment and SC mega does, SC is incredibly incompetent as a default so true threat is little to none, I say as a born SC native, they are the true embodiment of nothing ever happens. I'm currently leaning NC but the city of Charlotte does suck so much ass though. Both have the possibility of starting from a different office, but both would want me in the same market region (SC in SC, NC in NC).
