This is exactly how I frame salary negotiations living in a big city. If you want to pay me less, fix the housing market. Otherwise, you need to pay me enough to buy the shittiest home/condo within 4 hours of the office.
That's a six-figure salary in a big city. If boomers and management are upset that they have to pay adults, adult salaries, that is their own over-entitlement causing their distress.
Fuck you, pay me. Garbage-men get paid 85k in the city I am living in with no education required. If you want someone that had to invest lots of time and money into getting two degrees, you need to pay a premium.
I really wish boomers would hurry up and die. Fucking hell, they have turned America into a shithole country.
