I am in Kentucky and want to join Columbus, OH as 602. I have no idea about cost of living in Ohio.
Can I ask salary of $90K or higher? My role is in Technology and work as Java Developer. I have 10 years of experience.

Please consider the generous benefits package too in addition to salary
Negotiating 101 : be ready to walk out!! If you give a hint of desperation to the recruiter, you've busted your chance already.
Do your research and give facts/reasons to the HR about why you think you should be getting a higher package.
With 10 years of experience, you should be getting a VP title anyway.
You might be lucky. It depends on your group, some pay well some not. I was hired as 602 in Technology with $90K in Texas 3 years go and haven't got raise of $1K since then.
I was hired at 602 earlier this year out of Texas and got base of 97, bonus of 7k
Dont get too greedy. This is the best bank so join now. Go chase!!
$100K is too high for 602. You need to be VP for such salary.
Thanks to all of you. So if I ask a high salary $100K or above, would it annoy them and they may not come back? I don't want to lose any offer due to wrong communication. Please advise.
Salary range for 602 is 75 to 95 k. Good luck they rarely give high end starting out offers but it can be done. But it usually requires a compelling reason. You are in a low cost area that is not compelling. But you can try. I started out as a 602 and got 100k but they were in a bind because entire team/mgmt left while I was contractor
85 k with the sweet benefits package
With your level of experience I would be looking at $100k or more. Check out websites like levels.fyi or glassdoor. You should see packages based on location and experience.
- S. this is your best chance of negotiating. You would very likely not see any increments for the next 2-3 year or so.
