It could be a lot depending on how much you cook at home. I have dinner and drinks out a couple of times a week and spend ~$400 a month.

Not that high. Works out to $7-8k, which should still allow for plenty of savings (not even counting bonus) on a bankers salary

~$1.5k, no home-cooking tho

IB Associate - so you're implying you spend about 1500 a month. Probably nothing compared to how much you're making haha

I have a budget of roughly ~$600 for weekdays (lunch/dinner), and ~$150 avg weekend. So around $1-1.5k per month, which is sizable.

Old firm used to pay for food and transportation, so there has been a bit of a culture shock.

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps. For double or even triple the work. So I’m leaving to go from $70k to $235k in September at a competing firm for a VP level role. The moral of the story: hop if you need to. No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.
