Yes.
That is part of the problem that we have now. Since we are not growing anymore, we have FO's that are stagnant because the company hired so many DEC's.
FO upgrade time is now more than 2.5 years, but there are a ton of captains junior to the vast majority of FOs.
So, we have FO's that can't upgrade and CA's that will be on reserve for 5+ years.
That will cause FO's to go elsewhere where they can upgrade, and CA's to go elsewhere so they can get off of reserve in the next decade. PSA management really screwed up.

Then take it with a grain of salt, just like everyone else.
And as far as cost of living, Charlotte/Mecklenburg County and North Carolina in general are more expensive than a lot of places to live. Taxes on all sorts of absurd things. Compared to places like Florida and Texas, where a number of pilots / young flight instructors live, it is much more and your dollar doesn't go as far. There's a reason I stay living in Florida. Could I afford NC? Yea, sure. Is my QOL better in FL? Sure is.
