>Salary should be based on the labor market, period. Cost of living will naturally factor in, but I'm not going to pretend I'm entitled to a higher salary just because I chose to live in a more expensive neighborhood. Oh, you literally meant "neighborhood." I meant like moving from one city to a more expensive one -- e.g. teachers in NYC get paid twice as much as in Albany. -Z

Z, That's the way it works in every other occupation... Really? Guess I should have demanded a 3x pay hike from my employer when I moved from Oregon to California, given that rent and housing prices are that much more expensive. Most people ask for a major cost adjustment to their income when they are tranferred to CA. That's not news. Salary should be based on the labor market, period. Cost of living will naturally factor in, but I'm not going to pretend I'm entitled to a higher salary just because I chose to live in a more expensive neighborhood. Everyone else does when they move to CA. How else do you think they get execs to move from Columbus to LA? ted
