How much do you spend on vacation/travel? Is $2000 for a trip too much for an Analyst? I have no debt.

It depends on how long you're going and where you're going. I spent only 4k last year but it was a three week vacation (before the IB gig). Would have spent less but bought some El clasico tickets that were steep

It depends but I think that’s reasonable. Obviously it depends on how much you make and spend normally too

Depends where you’re going too

Yeah $2k is very reasonable. I use credit card rewards when I can though

Very reasonable. You work hard, good investment for your soul to relax a bit and have fun.

Hello fishes 🐠🐋🐟,

Please help me out here.... Your input will be really great.

I have herd that currently most of the companies are in hiring freeze. (Holiday season, recession or layoffs).

I am trying to apply job for many companies since last month, and i haven't got any response from any of them.

Are there any Organizations still out there who are hiring/open for referral and are in position to handle recession.

Please comment your thoughts. It might make someone's day.

Thanks.
