85k, nyc

With flatmates?

82k in DC

170 Boston

$130k nyc

I didn’t feel comfortable living in NYC until I was making $120k. But that was years ago, inflation, rent increases, and tax increases make that $120k worth a lot less.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
