Pros: amazing walkable (currently) cheap city with basically free public transport in international standards (subway at USD 0.08). Top restaurantes and cocktails scene that I think it is better than NYC. A ~250 m2 apartment in a classic neighbourhood such as Recoleta is around USD 500k. Buenos Aires never sleeps. Good Internet infrastructure with fiber optics. Very social. Things you wouldn't find in other cities which is infinite walk in [1] and [2]. Amazing icecream. Top entrepreneur city, companies are formally radicated outside Argentina. Good weather.
Cons: insecurity (don't pose as a tourist and be careful of using your mobile phone or other devices in public places). Bureacracy at its limits. Corruption in every level. No beach.
It is important to highlight that Argentina is huge and other places are amazing.
In tech, salaries are updated and/or "de-facto dollarized. Think that inflation in Argentina is omnipresent and not something new. In short, there are competitive salaries in tech, mainly for hign tech companies. Also, there are many people (nomads or expats) from other countries working remotely and living like "queens and/or kings".
In not-tech, unions negotiate monthly increases of salaries. It's more complicated, so you may get a 7% one month and a 13% the next month. You can try to research how much will be the increase and how much taxes will cut, but it's easier to imagine the ATM will give you a random number. (Usually the increase rate is lower than the inflation.)
The inflation is not high enough to rush to buy thing the first day of the month, but the idea is to finish the month with AR$0 in the bank. No savings in pesos. Buy some extra stuff, like canned food, cloth soap, update the computer or a home appliance and if possible buy US$100 dollar bills (the new model, with a big face).
