I've been offered a position as a Business Management Consultant in Atlanta. Starting salary is 68k. I'm making about 80k at my current job but staying isn't an option because my spouse is being transferred to Atlanta so I'm obviously making the move as well. Should I ask them to match? Or just take it for now and keep looking? I've heard cost of living in Atlanta is pretty high these days.

68k in ATL is a big no no

Likely not minimum wage in ATL.

absolutely ask to match. I’m sure you’ve considered this already, but does your current employer offer flexible remote work? How about just moving offices if they have an Atlanta presence? A lot of employers are willing to accommodate a spouse’s move…

That's a low-ball for sure. If they don't match are you able to continue the search or do you need work ASAP? If the latter I would take it and still look for a new job and then just leave this experience off of your resume.

That's disrespectful. Is this a boutique firm? If so, I would just apply to another larger company based in ATL.

Absolutely ask them to match. Our consultants make $84k+
