I'm currently considering a job offer in Chicago and I want to know how the salary I'm being offered compares to the cost of living. I've been offered $85,000 a year in a tech role, but I'm unfamiliar with the city. How does this salary stack up against other major cities in the US? I've heard that Chicago has a high cost of living, but I'm not sure how it compares to cities like San Francisco or New York. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
