What kind of job are they guaranteeing? My current position is like 25% data science and 75% business analyst (with a business analyst level salary). If they would guarantee me a job that was 100% data scientist with a $100k salary I would sign up in a heart beat, but I figure they will say I already have a job doing that function and not give me my money back.

The problem is that the interesting metric is income - (minus) necessary expenses (e.g. living costs). The latter are very high for example in San Francisco, where there are more jobs.
