<prompt> Human: I have an HR conversation on Tuesday and want to come prepared with a number. Heres my thinking: Cost of living seems 15-25 higher exchange rate is currently 1.25 and goods are generally priced about the same - coffee is 2 here and 2 in UK, so 25 higher relative cost. Taxes are also much higher - in my US tax bracket, each additional dollar is taxed at 28. In the UK, each additional dollar would be taxed at 40. Rent is the worst of all. My 2-bedroom with a 15m commute is 1350. In London, something similar runs for 2500 3125 and has a 45m commute. Lastly and selfishly, my company is asking me to fill a needed position in another country. That should warrant some increase based on demand and merit, right?I make 90k right now. Is asking for 110-115k 135-145k, or 50-60 increase unreasonable? It feels like a huge ask to achieve the same standard of living, but the math seems right.Please help!Employment  <response>: When I moved from NYC to London my salary went from 160k to 225k. So I think you are in the right ballpark.
