I think your friend will probably think it's still an improvement, but not big enough. He wants to confirm "how big it is" from other people's comments.
I would roughly say, it's 15-20% improvement , but this is just my own opinion. Different ppl have different weigh on things.
According to http://www.cityrating.com/costofliving.asp, the numbers are much different than our feeling.
For example, 100K in Atlanta is treated as equivelant to San Jose's 184313.82. But from my friend who have worked at both cities, the difference is not that big.
However, maybe your friends and many other ppl did not actually realized that there's another reason for them to choose their current US job wherever it is. The first city in US does not only mean that city itself. It's a gate to United States. It leads to their American Dream.
So 100K in California is good because it's still 15-20% improvement. So he will go and announce that in this forum.
If 90K in California, it's still fine, he will go and sometimes he might announce that in this forum, but probably not.
If 80K in California, well, he will hesitate and try to find a better offer. If he cannot, and he's so eager to go to US(Many chinese people will gain mental satisfaction from being in United States. ), he will still accept it. But for sure, he will not announce that in the forum.
So from above analysis, you will find everyone in US can earn 100K or better from the posts they announced in this forum because if they earned less, they kept silent.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
