Is $2100 / month in rent obnoxious for someone that brings in $8400 net per month? I pay half of that now but looking to move cities (will stay on same salary) and upgrade my living space. Single, no car note, $350 student loan payment. Let me know what other factors would be helpful, TIA!

Hi friends. Freelance Senior CW (7-8 years) here, currently negotiating a 2 month freelance contract at mcgarrybowen. They want my hourly rate which is always tricky in my opinion. My typical day rate is 800/day (Atlanta, Chicago). I'm thinking of saying $100/hour, but want to be competitive. Thoughts?

(For context, I have no idea whether this is for their NYC or Chicago office.)
