<prompt> Human: I work at a large company with about 120k employees. They are located across the US and in a few other Countries. Is it common for a corporate position in a good benefit company to pay an increase for an employee who moves to a state where the average income is 15 higher than their previous citystate?  <response>: It is common for them to adjust salaries for cost of living and to offer relocation costs. This is something that must be negotiated before accepting a new job in a new area. I would ALWAYS treat a move like this as being laid off and being rehired. You may want to look into other positions near you if you do not want to move or they are not offering to pay cost of living increases.
