very unlikely, however you can calculate what % above your current market’s starting rate is for your position, and when you’ve found out your new market’s starting rate- calculate where you’d be at by that additional % and ask for it.

when i transferred from phx or phl i FOUGHT for the 8% above market i was currently at- as they wanted to bring me to starting rate as a supervisor. i’d been with the company for 4+ years, SSV for 3+ and would be making the same as 6 SSVs who’d been with the company all less than 8 months. we went back and forth and i gave in at 5%, totally defeated and living in a much more expensive city with less money entirely. 6mo later i left for a half a year and when i came back as a rehire they wanted to start me at the new market base rate… again. the base rate had been raised a few
cents which is how they justified it *this time* but i went over my new SMs head to my new DM after my hire date and told him that without question i deserve what i’ve earned and what i’ve earned is 9%. and i fucking got it.

don’t settle if the siren tries to make you feel like you’re worth less just because you’ve moved.
