I’m an ACD in NY making $160k. I’m now considering a role at a big Chicago agency. What’s an appropriate salary? I assume it’ll be less, since it’s a lower cost of living. Thanks.

I think 160 is actually low for New York so might be able to stay pretty close to that.

I made 70k as an art director there a couple years ago if that adds context. That being said, Chicago is VERY cheap and comfortable to live in comparatively (currently in NYC now) You can stay in a brand new 1bdm, full amenities building for under 2k. In Logan square street parking is abundant, so owning a car is an actual possibility.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
