Hi, I'm a new analyst in ACN's Tech Consulting group, based in the Chicago office. I did my BS and MS in Information Systems at a top Eng school before joining the firm. During the interview process, I was told there was openings in the NY office but upon positive results from my final interview I was told that NY positions were now filled. Since I was very happy with the group I would be working in, I took the position anyway, and joined the office closest to NYC except for DC(to avoid federal). However, I am disappointed that I have technically 'moved' to Chicago and feel I've taken a pay-cut. All without actually needing to be in Chicago since I travel Mon-Thr anyway. Plus - I'm actually from NJ so the position requires me to move and get an apartment. In NY I could actually just stay at home.

Would I have earned more had I been based in NYC? If so - how should I go about trying to transfer, and with that transfer - make sure that I could get an appropriate raise to match the location?
