the guy from Metro is suddenly like ya know jesse ... we got lots of room out in cali at Metro for some new talent

and the chicago sales director for our company who is on the meeting with us is instantly like "oh he's not for sale, he's buyin his first home in michigan now anyways"

You should straight up tell him that.

"People clearly want my talents. If you're going to go around telling people I'm not for sale, I could really use an extra thousand bucks a month."

I would meet you at the airport in combat boots while walking without a hinge in my knee and a really short haircut.

Dawt on white_n_slow. If your boss is so inclined to say you aren't for sale then you have leverage right there for a pay increase.

I completely agree with Dave. You aren't your bosses' property; use this situation to your advantage.

That being said, realize that LA will be a major re-adjustment for you.

No 100 acre backyards, no $800 / mo rent either.
As an example, I pay nearly twice that much for about 1000 sqft and secured parking in a decent part of town.
