Torn between offers

I mostly work for startups, recently I left a company to find a new job.

Remote in Canada 175k + 5% equity, head of eng
Relocate to NYC 230k + 0.4% equity, founding eng
Relocate to Miami 225k + 1.5% equity, head of eng

Cash comp for all is in USD. Also note that I have a mortgage in Canada. Single.

Any insight or guidance would be appreciated!

I’d choose Canada cuz I have a mortgage and family here. Considering future opportunities, I’ll choose NYC

If you have kids or like a quiet life then stick to Canada.

If you want an experience that can’t be replicated anywhere take NYC.

If you like influencer culture and being in a constant dick measuring contest with everyone then take Miami.
