I need to move to a HCOL city from a LCOL of living for personal reasons. Do people have advice how to approach this conversation with compensation? Company has offices in these cities and have been told that the HCOL cities do have a higher pay band (i.e., DC, New York). I’d like to ask if I can stay with the company and explore options to be bumped up in salary? Any advice?

Basically need an offer from another company for the new location and higher pay. Why would they pay you more for a voluntary move?

Deloitte does not do this

Im going through this now at EY. Very simple process. Comp is bumped initially once you move and reassessed again at standard performance/fiscal timing.

Any place forcing you to stay at your same pay and the COL is significantly different is probably not the best place to be at anyway. Might be worth it to start looking

Did they equalize you during promo time? What were you expecting v what you got?

Hi Fishes,

I have an offer of around 39 LPA + bonus and my wife is holding an offer of 32 LPA in India. Now I have received another offer from a fintech organization in Berlin, Germany who are providing me 69k Euros as base salary + 5k Euros as RSU and also an on call support of 5k Euros annually + complete relocation assistance package. My wife currently doesn't have any offer for Germany and might need to search for a job after reaching there. Is it worth? Need your suggestions please.

I just received a verbal offer as a program manager at vp level from a US BB in London. Unfortunately the number was a round down of my current pay.

Should I accept the offer?
The HR told me that there will be opportunities for promotion in the next 12 to 24 months.

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management.
