Re: HP Position Available in Texas
My post took a middle road, and actually, somewhat
justified the lower salary in Texas. I didn't justify
asking for the sun, moon, and stars.
However, there are too many people in my field [not
HP] who will settle for $28-30K a year with an M.S.
and $35-$36K with a Ph.D.
Salaries in California _should be_ higher than those
in Texas, because it costs so much more to live in
Calfornia than it does in Texas. When it's on a $35K
salary, the difference in cost of living between
California and Texas is a very large percentage. When
it's a $55K salary, it's a lot more easy to make a
choice between the two locations. This is the case,
even if one merely rents or buys a small 2-bedroom
house. Do the math.
I am a native Calfirornian, by the way, who left
California during the 1980's largely because of the
very high discrepancy in cost of housing between that
state and most of the rest of the nation [except New
York, Boston etc.].
