After 5-6 years in banking/consulting/PE, how much savings do you have tucked away? Can’t tell if I’m saving enough or being a total stingy bastard. (No mega 10k+ purchases, but nearly 100k of student debt almost paid off)

The manager in on my engagement has a bad reputation for treating staffs badly. I found out that many staffs felt uncomfortable with the manager’s style of communication as well as always blaming on staffs instead of taking responsibility. For example, a staff sent out the sample selections and manager reviewed it but later found out that there was an error but instead of taking responsibility, the manager blamed the senior who had nothing to do with the selection process.
