How to use this for decisions
- Set your likely offer salary, not your ideal number.
- Compare at least 3 cities, including one lower-cost backup option.
- Track leftover budget after rent and essentials, then stress-test with one-off move costs.
- If you may qualify for Beckham, model both scenarios before negotiating.
