Calculator says +139% higher cost of living in NYC (sounds about right)

Not sure, maybe 15-20%? It’s definitely going to be significantly lower than the cost-of-living adjustment

If not smaller... 😁

Also, consider the weather. It's not even funny. 20-30 F difference during winter.

Double, at least

Also, it depends on how you plan to live, NYC and Charlotte don't offer similar lifestyles

Significant. Most of the cost will be seen in housing, parking as well if you decide to bring a vehicle (which I would recommend against unless you can negotiate a spot with your home)

Yes, probably double

Thanks everyone. Anyone know what I could reasonably expect for a salary % increase? My group would make an adjustment.

Big lifestyle changes. Owning a SIngle family home or new condo to renting a 800 sq ft apt

Close to 2x, maybe 80% higher overall. Rent will be 2.5-3x

My personal opinion.When Single making a compromise to live in NYC or SFO is ok since you can live in a smaller space and enjoy the convenience of being close to all the fun in a big city.With a family and kids not having space in the home is a downgrade to quality of living.Depends on everyone’s situation

Agreed!

If you can just ask for “ match my rent for equivalent lifestyle” half the battle is won.

Yes. If you don’t like it, you can always move back or elsewhere. Not that many decisions are irreversible

Roommate(and close friend) and I got an opportunity to buy the condo we're renting. We'd talked about maybe buying it in a year or two and really love our place but we both graduated and started working in June/July.

Condo: 350k
Salaries: 90-100k for both of us
$1500/mo in rent each

Savings: $12k/$1k (covers 3.5% FHA)
Sister offered $8k loan for closing expenses

Debts:45k/25k After all expenses, debt payment, savings I usually have $1k/mo to spend - not sure on him

Can we do it?

I spent the first few years out of school working in music before getting into advertising as an account person. Quickly realized it wasn’t for me. Busted my ass working with the creatives on the side until I was able to build a decent enough portfolio for an agency to take a chance on me as a full time CW. I think I’ll be a Senior CW soon, but it feels like most folks my age (30) have been in that role for a bit or already past it. Since I can’t turn back time, any tips for catching up?
