Thanks for the help. I moved from a buyside firm in Boston to one in New York and was a little surprised by the size of the cost of living increase and was wondering where I was relative to the median for a charterholder with ~5years experience.

Wait, shouldn’t you be more concerned about the NY compensation survey, then? Chicago is nice and all, but NY cost of living defies reason nowadays.

New York doesn’t do one unfortunatley - Chicago was the closest thing. I figure I can use it as a bit of a guide.

Hmm, makes sense I guess. Since NY finance people are so alpha that unless the survey puts them in the top 1%, they will throw a fit. Better to just not do any survey.
