Hey folks,
Please help me choose between following offers:
PwC audit - 36500 pounds - London
Kpmg audit - 31000 pounds - Manchester

Would 31k in Manchester give me more purchasing power than 36.5k in London, in terms of cost of living?

You'll probably have more money in Manchester but London > Manchester (for work + social) and pwc > kpmg. Obviously other aspects such as where your family and friends are is also important

OP - what level are you coming in at? Earning once chartered would be greater between cities.

What are your choosing criteria?
Have you considered all other offer elements - does KPMG offer health insurance vs PwC?

London will be better for social life and exit ops.

Initial gut is to go with London.

Okay, then Manchester potentially can help you save more short term.

You can do some basic cash flow modeling using excel and assumptions from websites like numbeo.com

Hi fishes, a little different question posted here - I am considering moving to London on a job offer. Strange, it may sound but I don’t drink alcohol. I am worried, that going out and drinking is a big part of the work and general culture in the UK, and I may come across as an unapproachable chap which may even effect my career in the longer run. Any serious insights on this topic will be highly appreciated.
