Re: What is a "good" salary?
true. also i remember, with one of the companies i worked for, a co-worker took an intra company transfer to some place in the mid-west, and the company actually did a salary adjustment for him! i guess he wasn't expecting to earn less money when he asked for it.
there are a few companies that dont do large adjustments, but it makes sense, if someone moved from a city with a lower cost of living to one with higher of course he will expect a cost of living adjustment, same works if you move to a cheaper city. The company can hire someone locally for going wages in that city which would be less than what someone is making in NYC, so why would they wantto move the person and pay him more than they would have to, unless the person is critical and they dont want to lose him etc.
