Moving from North West UK to NE of the US. Salary?

17 years ago
Hi,

My boss has offered me a new job in the US (Stamford, Connecticut).

My problem is that she has asked us to have a meeting over the next couple of weeks to discuss the new salary. I obviously want to go into that meeting with armed with as much knowledge as possible.

I currently live in Manchester, UK, and I have no idea how much to ask for, for this move.

She has already said that all the moving costs, visa applications as well as the first 2 months of rent will be paid for, so I am not too worried about the actual moving cost more about my salary.

Have anyone got any idea what I should ask for comparative to my UK salary.
£1 ~ about $2, so should ask for my salary just convert into dollars, or would that make better off or worse off?

So would need some advice on cost of living? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Jon
