It sure feels like VHCOL 😂

PwC does not view it as VHCOL. I think it is actually MCOL (keep in mind this describes cost of labor and not living). We are now on cohorts that are COL adjusted- being in NYC the COL factor is 1.18. For example, Miami is 1.01 and Philly is 1.08, I.e. NYC comp is theoretically 10% higher than Philly. I believe Boston falls near Philly. Hope this helps.

not sure for CR but usually I see SF and NYC (sometimes LA) as the only VHCOL

Genuinely curious then- what is the cohort level in Boston? My understanding is that the only city on par with NYC is SF.

San Jose is 1.18 as well.

Boston cost of labor (aka market related compensation) is considered MCOL. SF is the only VHCOL. HCOL cities are NYC, LA and DC. Again, it’s cost of labor/market compensation as to how our salaries are determined - and not cost of living.

*speaking from KPMG experience. Can’t attest to the other firms.

It’s MCOL at PwC

In line with DC, Philly, Chicago

Hi lads,
Anyone please help me understand what would be my monthly salary that will get credited, with/without the tax deduction on monthly basis.

And I'm new to all this I don't know what is variable pay, basic etc. Please help understand this by writing few description on above points. Also by submitting the home rent agreement how much will be saving, and will that only be sufficient or i can add more bills to avoid the dedication. If yes what types of bills i can submit like fuel bills etc.
