Idk but Boston and Miami are the worst in terms of pay to COL ratio
Truth.
Not your question but most (all?) firms and businesses pay based on cost of labor. Cost of labor and cost of living often track together but sometimes don’t. Again not your question but from my interactions in real life this fact is often misunderstood.
DC area. Pentagon audits drive the accounting cost if labor way to compared to cost of living, even if you aren’t in the government accounting world. I make more than my NYC colleagues for a significantly cheaper cost of living.
NY does not have the highest salaries. Four cities in California are in the highest bracket, and NY is on the second tier
All Bay Area offices as well
Purely speaking from EY but if you move to a higher cost of labor city you’ll pay will be adjusted so you’ll be within that cities pay bands. If you are asked to move I believe your pay will be bumped up immediately.
New York City would offer the highest salary.
