<prompt> Human: Im a college student graduating this may. I recently declined a job offer in Atlanta because it required a lot of travel. When I declined, the HR recruiter unofficially offered me the same job but with no travel in New York City.This is an absolutely perfect opportunity for me. Dream job and dream location. Problem is, she estimated that the salary would be about 1000 less than what they offered me for Atlanta. This was even after I mentioned I would need a cost-of-living increase. Im hoping she is mistaken, but in case she isnt, I need advice for how to get the salary that I need to feel financially secure in moving across the country to a city as expensive as NYC. I need about 10k more than what she has estimated the offer will be would be meeting position and location average. Bottom line I cant take the job with what she has estimated.tl;dr Potential employer offered me same salary for same job in Atlanta as NYC, but its 60 more expensive to live in NYC, help!EDIT for math  <response>: This is an absolutely perfect opportunity for me. Dream job and dream location.Dreamy enough to alter your living expenses? It might be worth chasing the right opportunity when you are young as it allows you to frame out your career a bit when the rest of your life is more flexible... Bottom line I cant take the job with what she has estimated.If thats really the case then tell them that and that you could entertain a better offer but be ready to move on...
