Hi, I'm leaving Citi in 2 months.It's hard to make this decision. I have an offer from a small startup.In citi, my previous experience was not considered and was reskilled to different tech which is the reason for change.I don't like to exit citi. As I like the company so much.But considering my current knowledge,I am in the middle of the sea.I am afraid now that the new company's offer would be revoked due to this recession?Or can I take back my resignation in citi before the last working day.Is this wise decision?

SF and NYC is VHCOL
and LA would be HCOL
A2 in nyc = 70k. This is pre adjustments that are coming in January
Lmao y’all love this debate.
HCOL is only San Francisco and NYC as they are on a different tier of affordability from any other US city due to rent. LA and Seattle join MCOL.
Chiming in here is well. LA is not at the same level as SF, salaries and housing much higher in Bay Area my friends.
It doesn’t make sense to group them into only 3 categories: L, M, and H. — think about the wealth classes: poverty, lower middle class, middle class, upper middle class, wealthy, ultra-wealthy
True. And if you think about it this way, then probably only New York and San Francisco are truly high cost of living. They’re just in their own tier
DMV is HCOL
Ok so who’s putting together a public excel spreadsheet with all the data?? Hmm?
Phoenix is LCOL? Erm nah.
Is this talking about the whole country or just large metro areas? If you’re talking about the whole country then very very few large metro areas would fall into LCOL.
Ummm….
What about Boston?
HCOL for sure.
Miami?
DC - HCOL
What about Seattle?
No state income tax, which can be a ~10% difference than HCOL
What about Space City?
As someone who has lived in multiple cities that you would consider “MCOL” the salary changes by 2-7K for the same role at the same company.
There are multiple reasons for an increase or decrease between cities - that were explained to me by HR for each of my moves - BESIDES how much rent or milk or whatever costs. Sometimes, turnover has been high b/c someone high up left or they are starting a new team or maybe everyone just wants to move here (lookin at you Denver). Just say the city and skip the HCOL/MCOL crap.
i fully support this. the purpose of this post was because i wanted to gauge exactly wtf people meant when they were saying LCOL, MCOL, and HCOL because it’s pretty subjective
I consider any state with an income tax to be HCOL
Where would Las Vegas fall?
Maybe upper ends of LCOL
I'm in Atlanta and I agree with classifying it as MCOL.
Just use a cost of living calculator online...
San jose?
Barcelona?
Philadelphia?
MCOL
