How much do you guys spend on rent in NYC and what’s your respective total comp? I’m starting at an MBB making 192k a year and eyeing rent of 2.5-2.7k. I also have student loans of ~2k and want to save 2-3k a month. You all think this is a good target? Or should I flex higher/lower?

Yea, thats plenty of room to save, 192 base? Will be tough to get a 1BR in Manhattan for less then 3k. Studio should be easy though

192k in NY is just below 10k per month

Would you consider getting a roommate?

This would be my portion of rent for a 1Br split with my partner

You’re fine

1470, tc ~125k but not Manhattan

That 2k loan is gonna be tough to pay off, especially if you want to save 2-3k per month. It’s like a whole month of saving

Sorry, it’s $2k/month of loan payment. I have ~100k in total

I’m doing this though I don’t have a loan. Rent is $2600 (Manhattan).

Ie saving that amount per month on ~that salary (minus the loan part).

You’re fine

Due to obvious conditions my comp for the calendar year (salary+bonus) is back to 2017 levels although my overall sales are more than double and 1/3 less total comp than last year. It seems like comp opportunity is always decreasing during good times (I get it) but when it comes to adjusting during bad times, nothing was done. Is this normal for industry sales?

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
