CEL 2022 Comp Survey

New CEL comp survey has been released - thoughts on how this matches up with what people are currently getting for comp? cel2022compensationsurveyresults.pdf (celassociates.com)

To facilitate better discussion for those who do not want to identify specific cities - identify whether you are in a high, medium, or low cost-of-living area using this list (list and rankings are fairly arbitrary, so try not to get to spun up about the both the linked ranking, or my delineation of high, medium, low, as this is just an effort to try and better gauge what people mean when they say HCOL vs. LCOL area). America: Cost of Living Index by City 2020 (numbeo.com)

HCOL - 1-5

MCOL - 6-11

LCOL - 12 & below
