I worked in the Chicago area in L&D for almost 8 years. We moved to central Illinois and I'm job hunting now. I have an offer in hand, but the pay seems quite low. I realize that I won't be making the same amount as I would in Chicago, but I am wondering how drastic the difference is. I've looked on several websites for salary comps, and it seems to be only a few dollars difference. This offer is very close to what I made when I graduated 10 years ago. Is the difference that huge away from the city?
