Freelance hourly rate stayed roughly the same as my old full time rate, so the net result is that my annual income is much lower. Freelance rates are meant to allow for health insurance, extra 15% self-employment tax, sick leave, PTO, holidays, not having a reliable source of income etc. Unfortunately agencies are taking advantage of the market and using the “unprecedented times” as an excuse to pay less.

I’m gonna take a $35,000 pay cut with my next job (if they offer me full time). However, I’m moving cities and that 35k I’d be losing is technically $20k more than I was making the other place based on cost of living differences.

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

Hello folks,

Need some advice on the following situation I am currently in:
I have an offer from PwC India and will likely get one from EY India also (similar ctc). At the same time, Cognizant is willing to match these offers. The only difference is I will be a consultant at Cognizant and a senior associate at PwC.
I understand wlb will be screwed at either of those big 4 and clients will be India based.
Which of these should I choose?

This is all for technology consulting as I am an MBA

It's abundantly clear now that the federal government has too much power. More power should be returned to the states so that individuals in one part of the country with one set of values don't impose on individuals with different values elsewhere.

Smaller federal government would both heal political division and weaken the leaches of special interests and lobbyists.

All politicians are hypocrites controlled by corporations. #empowerthestates
