What chunk of your monthly income goes into rent? Should I spend 3K more on rent per month than I already do, for an opportunity I could take up in NYC? The salary is only about 20K/year more than my current salary... so it's not a huge bump, but it's a much better firm than I've ever worked in. Sadly, living even in the tiniest of apartments in the city is such a massive expenditure bump. Advice? Suggestions? I don't know if I should stay or leave.
