Depends pretty heavily on what you like to do with your money. At anything at or above 100k you can easily find a solo apartment in a nice spot and have spending money for what we you want on top of maximizing 401k

Depends on your other finances (student loans, trying to save for home etc).100K is both a lot and not a lot here depending in where in the city you are and what the rest of your financial picture is.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?
