Yep. Illinois, cost of living is fucked, and the huge salary range of 71-88 makes me think they gonna lowball…another reason I’m hesitant to even do the assignment…haven’t even gotten an in person interview yet.

The issue with average tho is, yea if you’re living in Chicago or something average won’t cut it

Yeah it’s hard to stack up any money with that salary to cost of living ratio.
