I have tickets to the Tampa show on Nov 14th. It hasn't been cancelled but I don't know how likely it is to happen. Has there been any news since the 9/15 Facebook post by Jim saying he's starting the recovery process?
I hope he's healing well.
Or is it? It's perfect for a dramatic movie scene. Someone should make that happen!
They have lots of songs that would be good in movies but Chase This Light struck me as being one of the best.
I've seen others but not Sterling Heights. Only individual songs. I was at that show and would love to see it on YouTube.
I have few data points, but it doesn't seem to have as much of an impact as some other professions, and certainly not enough to entirely compensate for the higher costs. Do you think it has a big impact on actuarial jobs?
Secondly, I think I'm in a small minority, but, while understand the reasoning behind COL salary adjustments, they fundamentally don't make sense to me for jobs that could be done anywhere, like most actuarial jobs.
From the employer's perspective, why pay someone in NYC more to do the same job as a person in Kansas?
From the employee's perspective, living in NYC has a lot of benefits to a lot of people, so more people want to live there, so it's more expensive. There's an additional cost to the benefit of living there. People who want to live there will sacrifice spending ability to be able to live there.
It would make sense if high quality employees are generally concentrated in high COL areas so it happens to be that they earn more, but not to be have a blanket "Kansas=X, NYC=1.5X" type of policy.
