I’m a first year senior making 72k. It’s definitely doable but it’s really dependent on where you live and how often you’re going out and spending money. I was in a really nice 2/2, (my half was $1400) but I wasn’t going out every weekend. Can’t say I’m really saving, but the bills are all paid

I’m interested to know this too. I don’t know how anyone can afford to live there on our salary .

Same here. I just barely getting by. Audit senior 1 probably make around low $70s. A studio apt in LA costs 2K, which is half of your salary after tax.

You don't start saving until at least manager unless you live at home or something. Get a roommate if you want some extra cash to spend.
