I agree, I was specifically using the numbers OP provided without geographic hint and saying that blanket rules don’t apply and you should really use PPP instead of exchange rate to compare against a notional dollar — and consider the PPP of the city or state you want to work in the US.
What matters isn’t how much you’re making but how far it will take you in the new home you’re considering as compared to how far your current salary will take you in your current home. Of course, if you’re making $500K-600K as a staff engineer in the Bay Area there’s a different conversation to be had.
