Around 2005 or 2006, I got a call from a headhunter that wanted to shop me out in finance in NYC. Told him I wasn't interested, but he persisted and inquired what it'd take for me to relocate (from Chicago suburbs) and it was simple: triple my salary. I'm not a city person; I like the outdoors (I prefer real wilderness, but plentiful forest preserves around Chicago suffice). I figure 3x was a reasonable figure to do one of two things: either sacrifice my lifestyle to have a reasonable commute or put up with an absurdly long commute to have the lifestyle I wanted. That was the last I heard from that recruiter. I'm not disappointed. |
