@dgar @donmelton this is sadly so true.

A few decades ago I worked for a big tech firm (a large outsourcer) they offered me an “opportunity” for specialized training and then a new assignment for a new client.

However they expected me to choose to move for the training, then move for the assignment, and do all that without knowing what my new salary would be.

(It was the 1990’s web 1 tech boom, I quit that job not long after for a new one that paid 30+ % more without a move needed)
