So to be clear if I find a remote job in Colorado that pay ranges up to $250k, but live in NY.. then COL adjustment means I should get 400k.
I’m ok with that, but how do I bring that with a straight face.

Lot of remote roles aren’t offering any Col adjustment at all. Don’t live in HCOL and expect a premium if the job doesn’t require it

Not even talking about remote jobs, even job that are hiring in several locations, hence it states the Colorado salary range.

No one is giving you 400 for a 250 role

I get that, but you could say that about any role that hires in CO where the COL is 60% of NY. It’s a wide brush 👨🏾‍🎨🎨

Remote doesn't factor in COL, that's the entire point.

Yeah maybe they’ll give you an extra 5%, it’s a remote role, it’s your choice to live in NY not on them to pay you more.

COL adjustment for a remote job? I think that is the part I wouldn’t be able to bring with a straight face… but that is just me

What’s the role?

You don’t. $250k is what they’re willing to pay. What the market is in NY for similar labor is irrelevant (which cost of living isn’t even a good reflection of) .

Fully permanently remote jobs often pay 20%-30% less than in-person jobs. But when you factor in the tax savings alone of living someplace like Florida vs New York, it’s not that bad.

Technically “COL adjustment” is based on geo market wages, not cost of living. Typically these are highly correlated but take London as an example of a place with HCOL and lower wages.

I don’t think it’s likely your argument has merit therefore. They clearly would prefer to pay $250k for remote than someone in a high cost labor market

In a remote setting where you choose to live is kinda on you.
Roles have bandwidths on their comp, the majority of the time with remote positions is to snag someone in a lower cost area than HQ.

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
