- jzl 6y agoAgree with your point but the 10% discount for Seattle is super easy to justify: no state sales tax. So there's no cost of living adjustment for Seattle, just an equalization due to the tax situation.
- ailun 6y agoIncome tax, you mean.
- ido 6y agoWhy should the benefactor of the state's tax policy for employees be the company and not the employee?
- ferzul 6y agobecause the powerful party is more powerful
- joshuamorton 6y agoTax is certainly one part of the cost of living. The cost of living is just that, the cost of living, not simply the consumer price index or whatnot.

- vl 6y agoAFAIK, Google pays the same in Seattle/Bay Area/NYC. This is why some people at Google transfer to Seattle from NYC and SF.
- joshuamorton 6y agoThey don't (I work at Google).
