Like PWC Midwest vs PWC nYc ?
Or you mean smaller firm X vs big 4 Y , where Y is located in a bigger city ?

I disagree that smaller firms in HCOL will follow, because they charge HCOL fees so they can pay HCOL wages regardless of where people live.

Possibly. I’ve seen local firms offer the same starting salary I had 6 years ago. It’s an insult.

I think that is going to change soon. Hearing that firms are looking into adjusting salaries based on where you are working out of, not where the group is located.

I guess this doesn’t work for Big 4 since they have offices all over, but more so Top 25-50 firms only on CA and NY that poach seniors/managers from Midwest or some other LCOL area.
