[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I get paid 260k here salary. [/b]

Similar job but different company offering me [b]460k salary but I would have to move to nyc [/b]

Bonuses are 100k-200k. 100k here. 200k possibly nyc but bonuses are never guaranteed.

Should I consider moving there? Middle and high school age kids here. [/quote]

Your increased base salary will result in about $7,680 more in net (after tax) income per month.

Is $7,700 a month pay increase worth all the hassles of change for you and your family ?[/quote]

And I did not even consider the higher cost of living such as increased property taxes and increased tuition for private school as well as for daily living (groceries, utilities, transportation,etc.).[/quote]

They don't have public school in New York or it's suburbs?[/quote]

I mean, people who won’t bat an eye at 200k surely won’t go to public?[/quote]

A. Op is batting an eye and b. Private in nyc is $65-70 per kid per year so for 2 kids that’s $220k pre tax dollars each year (so a Ferrari each year) you are giving away. We live in nyc and have $1m hhi and are pulling kids out of private and moving to the burbs now we no longer have to go into office bc it is a rare rich person for whom $220k a year is not a consideration [/quote]

Private school is obviously for poor people, people without wealth or never made their own money. I concluded from this post. [/quote]

I’m not sure what to tell you - school districts like Scarsdale are packed full of wealthy families that prefer public for many reasons. [/quote]

I grew up in one of these towns listed on this thread as desireable and have friends who send their kids to various Westchester public school districts.  I didn’t know anyone growing up who went to private school in my town.  And some people were incredibly rich- like billionaire, multimillionaire, grandpa was Trump’s attorney and they flew on his private jet, skiing in Vail every winter, etc.  All went to public school, but my public high school was nicer than most private schools.[/quote]
