I’m in the NJ/NY metro and was offered a senior operations role in Nevada. I previously earned $150k with 15+ years of experience; the offer is $85k. They cited Nevada’s lower cost of living and no state income tax. I countered based on market research and requested relocation. Is this pay gap typical for Nevada, or am I undervaluing myself? Anyone make a similar East Coast move?

In all honesty to give you an accurate answer we would need to know what you were doing in your current role, and what you would be doing in your potential role.

Just because you are moving to a lower cost area doesn’t mean the responsibilities are equivalent.

It’s very possible that for the role you applied for $85k is a fair and accurate rate.

Remember you are paid for the role, not necessarily your salary or experience. If the new role requires 5-7 years of experience - they aren’t paying you significantly more for double the experience

That’s way too much of a haircut to take in salary. Unless there’s family reasons for you to take care of

You also have relocation expenses. Are they picking up those too?
