Ehh in reality I think the US is best approximated by four tiers

Tier 1: NYC, Bay Area, Boston, LA, DC 💀
Tier 2: Chicago, Miami, Austin, Seattle, San Diego, etc.
Tier 3: Dallas, Houston, Charlotte, Atlanta (maybe it’s Tier 2), Tampa, Phoenix, etc.
Tier 4: Idk Lubbock I guess

So label them as you wish

I'd put Seattle in tier 1 and then SF and NYC in tier 0 lol.

10 years ago would have said LCOL. Cost has risen much faster than national average. It is MCOL now, but still among the cheapest large cities

Dallas is LCOL at PwC. Tier 3 is the the lowest tier and Dallas is Tier 3 in terms of pay.

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses. This job will be based out of San Francisco. I currently make $30/hour for the same role in Chicago, after OT it’s about $60,000. Do you think it would be wise to accept the offer?

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.
