<prompt> Human: Several months ago I asked my manager in my old location about a transfer to my new locations office My family was 8 hours away and I wanted to live and work closer to them. The new office location is about an hour from my parents and so I asked for a transfer. Eventually the new office decided they needed the help since someone quit and so they decided to transfer me. They made it seem like they needed my help on projects that would be coming up and asked how soon I could move out. Excited about being able to move closer to home I told them June 12th. 2 weeks ago I visited the office while I was on vacation and asked my new manager if I would have any type of cost of living adjustment made to me salary since the its almost 20-30 higher in the new location. He said that it never came up and that he would ask about it. Yesterday was my first day and I hadnt heard anything. They also said that I would continue to work on a project that my old office was in charge of. There basically was no point in my moving this soon since the work Im doing is the same just from a different location but they seemed to want to rush me out. Theyre now looking to hire another person with the same exp as me to do their work since the work Im working on for my old office is apparently going to take 4-6 months to finish. Today I got an official letter from hr about the transfer and that my salary and benefits would stay the same. I currently make 52k a year as an EIT civil engineer with 1.5 years exp. 2.5 years from taking PE and the typical starting salary in the new location for new graduate 0 years exp. civil engineer is 60k a year. We get paid straight overtime but I dont work enough over time to make up the 8k difference. I realize that I initiated the transfer but ultimately the new office wanted to hire me. Should I look for another job since they wont increase my pay due to cost of living?TL.DR: I transferred office locations within the same company and the cost of living increased 20-30 and I didnt receive a cost of living adjustment. Should I be looking for a new job?  <response>: Yes
