You shouldn't mention cost of living and should center conversations around previous salary...seems like a no brainer

like

Why would you worry about the cost of living?
You think they charge clients because the cost of living is lower? You should care about your brand and your bottom line. 15 to 20% on top of current salary if it's a promotion or added responsibility. No less than 12%.

I agree with MC1. Get the bump and cheaper costs.

Dude are you even consulting? What kind of question is this? Take what they give you because you obviously don't want to make more /s

I think it's a good question. If I was staying in DC, I could negotiate say a 15% or so bump. I can't really do that if I'm moving to a lower cost of living area.

AmLaw200 I interviewed with will likely go with a “more experienced candidate”. I’ve got 8 years and its a staff attorney role so whatever.

Pissed because they knew from the recruiter that I was a “diverse” candidate and they sent me the Mansfield self-identification survey days before they actually requested an interview.

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments
