Curious to benchmark—(1) what is your annualized rent as a % of your annual base salary and (2) what is your annualized savings/retirement/brokerage as a % of your annual base salary?

In 2017, base was $92.5 and monthly rent was $2900. Leftover got saved.

My base now is $114 and monthly rent has stayed constant. Leftover gets saved.

I don’t regret it. It was tight but I knew my income would increase and I’m thrifty outside of rent.

Yes, thanks for sharing. Thought provoking for learning others’ choices and experiences

My rent is 0. I own.

There were several negotiations on the higher priced one. (Continued…)

Hi Fishes,
I've been offered for Engineering expert position at Novartis India. I've received offer letter 2 weeks back and my DOJ is updated to Mid December. I told the HR that my current company's last working day is on mid January and resend the offer letter with mid Jan as my DOJ. But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
