Has anyone moved to a more expensive city and successfully renegotiated their salary based on higher cost of living? If so, how? I have no biz case...just want to move to San Diego 😎🌴

There is a cost-of-living adjustment done when you move to another city right?

Doubtful, unless the firm is requiring your relocation

Dang really? So if you move from say Dallas to New York City, you'd still be paid the same money? That's ridiculous

Yes, it was just given to me. Moving from Charlotte to Boston

^did they ask u to move? @Op...you can transfer and then negotiate at review time

@A1 no :-( I can't even say it would save on project expenses either since most of my clients are East Coast or Midwest. I don't want to leave the firm but starting to think that might be the only option.

No, moved on my own accord

@ey2 yup

Not at Accenture :/

Moved from DC to NYC...I got nada

@EY1 and EY2, my understanding is that if the company isn't asking you to relocate, adjustment is unlikely. At least at KPMG.

That's pretty awesome

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.

I'm not good at my tech stack. I've somehow managed to perform all my tasks without any escalation/blunders but that also by some help/googling.
I also managed to switch from an Indian mnc to a reputed company and now also somehow cleared a FAANG interview,but i know I'm not much knowledgeable in my tech .

I often fail at some interviews badly.
Not sure till when I'll be able to carry forward by this and the hard wlb at FAANG companies is giving me a fear.
