As a hiring manager, I never factored "cost of living" into offers: - It's inaccurate af. - It's wrong to reward/punish because of geo. - The value of the position doesn't change with geo. - People stay when treated fairly.

My exp ~4 years ago: $55k in Germany $120k when I relocated to SF (same company)
I did the 1/3 math (single guy)
1/3 rent
1/3 food+entertainment
1/3 savings
and it is all proportional except that obviously I will never save as much in EU (good for when you move back) - 2 more replies

Yup. I have indeed read this, and that’s why I’m comfortable claiming what I do now. I’d only vaguely believed it till I read it. (which fkin sucks, because I love London and never want to leave. Feels bad-ish.)

First thoughts are it is supply and demand economics but peer parity always needs to be considered. Geo differences in tech salary are huge though. UK rates seem very low even compared with Australia. How would paying SF rates in London work?
