Since cost of living and rent varies widely by location, it&#x27;d be much nicer if I could set multiple expectations of salary. You&#x27;d have to pay me more for me to be willing to move to SF, for example, but I know I can expect less if I&#x27;m working on the east coast, or say, Tokyo, where programmers aren&#x27;t as &#x27;hot&#x27;.
