use that number the recruiter goes haywire about how San Diego salaries do not scale to the geography I am applying to.

Sounds like you need to do some research and by research I mean...go find a cost of living calculator and then add 10% to the number they give you.

That’s you’re target.

I’ve done this for DC, NYC, STL and LA. I’ve lived a bunch of places.

The problem is I made what I made in San Diego, a high cost of living market, and each time I use that number the recruiter goes haywire about how San Diego salaries do not scale to the geography I am applying to.

I can share that in my current role I make $$$$ but understand that may not scale into this market. I am open to reviewing what you feel is a market appropriate offer.
