I'm looking to move to an HCOL area. Would a $100k salary be easy to land? I keep seeing postings that start at $200k+, so I'm thinking even with the current market conditions, $100k should be totally doable for someone with my experience (I'm 50). Is this what you're seeing?

If you're only an assistant, you might have a harder time landing a 100k salary, but if you're an underwriter, 100k should be no problem in a HCOL area.

I'd think so. The harder part would be living on a $100k salary in a HCOL area. $100k sounds like a lot of money, but it won't get you very far in places like NYC or San Francisco.

like

$100K to $150K would be the average in a HCOL area. But beware that unless you move just outside the area, the prices itself will offset your salary. You should aim for higher than $100K to live comfortably or feel financially secure.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
