I’d counter at 240 but 212 is doable that’s about what I make. My wife makes the same though.
I would definitely counter just so you don't leave any stone unturned. If they won't go up that is still a pretty good increase and definitely doable for that area. Best of luck to you.
Google says the equivalent cost of living for San Francisco at close to $290K when compared to $175 in Detroit. Of course, there are a lot of factors that go into your expenses (e.g. if you have a family). I agree with Chubb 1... I'd ask if they can go higher.
That seems like a step down, considering COL.
But it also depends on other things, like whether you have a family/kids, what your preferred lifestyle is, how spacious of a home you want, etc.
Def. need more datapoints to make a definitive recommendation.

As others have stated, it would need to be more since the COL is severely higher (I’m also based in Michigan and have family in Cali).
