Key phrase is "big city". I'm a staff and there's a mid on my team that moved to Seattle. His cost of living adjustment when he moved allows him to make more than I do.
Did he move to a new company site in Seattle or is he working remote now?
If they gave a cost of living increase for moving and allow him to do remote work, please tell me who you work for ๐
I know if I were moving, my company would offer me the option to go remote, because I'm the top performer on my team. But there's no way they'd give me a cost of living increase to go remote, they don't even want me to wfh a couple days a week...
