Factor in QoL, living costs, associate satisfaction? Exclude tertiaries like Miami/Boston; consider simply SF/SV, LA, Chi, DC, NYC.

Is it chi?

Cost of living/QoL -- lump them. Objective.

Associate satisfaction -- take midlevel associate satisfaction surveys from AmLaw and compare the regions.

This is not mensa-level activity.

You're not good at trolling.

This. If it's so easy to figure out, what's wrong with you that you need others to do it?

If you think quality of life is objective, then you don't know what objective means.

Or, for that matter, quality of life.

In terms of how far "market" pay will take you, Texas > Chicago > DC > LA > market pay at pretty much every other city in the US > NYC.

In terms of everything else you might be alluding to, discussion would be pretty much pointless (as you've seen ITT thus far). Just pick a place you want to live.

I agree with this. The objective measures (cost of living and whatnot) will mean very little if you are not happy with your location.

In fact, if you believe in free markets even a little bit, then there's a good case that high cost of living is irrelevant. It's just the market price for living someplace better. If San Francisco is twice as expensive as Kearny, NE, then the average resident must think it's twice as good, because otherwise people would move and prices would come down until people felt like they were getting their money's worth.
