Thanks. I was just asking because I have a program I use to calculate the actual net pay. Most of the time when people propose these sorts of moves to me, they either did not do the math, or their math is factoring in other CoL adjustments I don't care about, or they are actually lying. It's almost never been a decision between $120K in the Midwest vs. $140K in NYC. More like $75K in the Midwest.

FWIW it looks like $120K in Austin is indeed almost exactly the same take-home as $140K in NYC. Austin you would make about 20 more dollars per week.
