Attempting to transfer from a big 4 in Chicago to New York. Received my offer for New York and saw that the offer was lower than initial offer. Talked to recruiter and they didn’t budge on salary.

I’m an incoming first year staff, what should i do?

Could it be for cost of living? However it depends on how much you want to move and if you like NY. If it is something you want to experience and your salary won't be that much of a difference go for it. If not stay in Chicago.

Not much you can do other than take it or leave it. Cost of living adjustments between Chicago and NYC are like $1k so salary isn’t much different but your quality of life in NYC will be lower.

Is it crazy to leave my job at EY to take a lower paying position in industry? I'm a recently promoted tax manager making about 140k. I've been considering going to industry for a while, gotten a couple offers, but they're all pretty low (<$120k). Honestly, the $20k difference isn't that much, but I've also been considering taking job that pay maybe $90k and doing work on the side (my own "firm"). But it also feels strange to accept such a lower salary. Thoughts?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
