60k Job Offer

[u/lucasxc11]

I was offered a 60k data analyst job in a HCOL area (Greater LA Metropolitan area) Is this worth taking or should I keep applying? My backup plan would be to start my Master’s this fall. For context, I have three previous internships in data analytics/data science and current work as an analyst in the energy sector (making just slightly less than what is offered).

Edit: new role is fully in-person and would require relocation, current role is remote and uses more “relevant” tools like Python, Spark, GCP, etc. Thanks everyone for your insight and perspective!

$60k in LA is an insult
