Do you feel compensation should surround cost of living base on where you live? NYC people should get paid more than Dallas, TX? I hate this because it’s not factoring in other things. Anyways just got off a call with a recruiter so vetting on here.

I know compensation at my firm is not influenced by region [would depend on country though]. I think it should based on COL by location, but this is not always true. If can’t find what one firm offers, continue searching until you find it. If not finding it, pivot to something else.

That’s nice, I do empathize with folks live in HCL areas but experience and skills should be factored in more than locations.

Yes, it should to some degree. Because if companies don’t do a COL adjustment, they will always choose the lower option, and people on HCOL would get screwed.

I get it, I’m just saying years of experience and skills should be factored in first.
