The money you guys are quoting might be a necessity in areas like California, NY, and other major metropolitan areas. If the candidate can work from home in an area where the cost of living is much lower, 100k would provide the same standard of living as 200k in NY. Where I live, I’m quite well off. But I’d never be able to afford cities in California.
