Couldn’t do the renting and roommates. Rather commute from home. Had to wait till salary was at $110+ and saved for a while then bought a house (small and cheap one).

At $120k

Around 70k. Could no longer deal with roommates. Was definitely living beyond my means for a few years. My apartment was rent stabilized though so that helped.

Damn. I’m at that range now and couldn’t imagine renting my own place

$27K when I was 22. But that was in 2006, and rent was 1/4th of what it is now. But I also had bed bugs for roommates, and was on the top floor of a walk up.

The bedbug part. Crazy conditions.

$78K a year ago, NYC - studio.
$95K present, NYC - one-bed.

$90k

$80K in 2016 NYC

I've been living solo since I graduated in 2008 in KS, CA, Chicago. All cheaper than here of course and I still went and did more school after.

120k.

$80K studio

$100K, LA

$60K … always preferred living solo even if it meant a studio

I cleared 2 rounds of interviews with CGI. The very next day someone from the management team called me up and very readily agreed with me for my expected salary. He said he shall quickly ask the HR team to process my offer letter.

And it's been a week since I haven't heard from anyone. Neither CGI asked me docs nor any HR called me.

What shall I do now? I am currently under the Notice Period.
