My family decided we aren't about the winter months in PA and are moving to Florida for good. I noticed some hotels there pay far less for the same role I have here. Are there standard factors that justify these wide pay gaps?? I'm starting to apply and I'm not sure if I should negotiate differently when I'm new to a city.

I live in central Florida don’t move here. Cost of living living is very high. Salaries are low

I've got to admit, I'm surprised by that. I live in Florida and always thought our COL - and thus salaries - was higher than average. The only explanation I can think of for that is maybe seasonality. I'm in retail, so it wouldn't affect me as much (yearlong residents need groceries too), but hotels are packed in the winter months and very quiet during the summer. If those swings result in Florida hotels being less profitable than Pennsylvania hotels over the course of a year, I guess it'd make sense for the pay to be lower. Seems kind of far-fetched now that I've written it out though.

I don't see any reason to negotiate differently. I did hear a horror story recently, though, of someone trying to negotiate and having the offer revoked. I doubt this is a common move, but still just something to be mindful of. I'm a little less certain of my old philosophy of "always negotiate" these days.

Florida’s strong tourist economy creates lots of jobs, but competition and regional averages mean lower pay for newbies. When negotiating, mention national averages and your experience, but be aware of local norms. Be ready for smaller starting offers, but negotiate for benefits like flexible scheduling or growth opportunities.

As long as you have enough experience, I guess you should negotiate.
