What would be the equivalent of $350k total compensation San francisco if the role is in Boston? The role is in Boston but my benchmark number is for SFO and recruiter is saying that $290k is max due to CoL difference. Is that fair?

290K:350K is probably pretty close I’d think. Your taxes will be a bit lower, housing should be materially lower, you may not need a car which further lowers costs.

Quick googling suggests it’s like 180K take home in MA vs 190K in CA, and the housing costs alone should save you $10K

SF is 20%+ more expensive on housing easily I’d call that material.
I don’t know anyone with a car unless they live in the suburbs but that’s not Boston

When you are above $250 don't go nuts about equivalent and shit

You are almost part of 1%

According to NerdWallet $350k in San Francisco = $262k in Boston. Which feels about right to me. A $1M condo in San Francisco would roughly be $750k in Boston.
