Yes, but depends on where in Houston. 60k is like 3800$ in hand after tax, if you are in a good part of town, 1500 would probably be your rent. Use everything else sparingly. I started off with 60K and survived, you can too

Good is relative. Can you easily get by if you live within your means? Yes. Are you going to be living alone in a Montrose/Heights midrise? Probably not. Most big O&G companies start their engineers closer to $100k if you want to know where the top of the market is.

It’s fine. It’s not great, it’s not bad. Houston is an average cost of living area. You’re making a bit over the median income.

Maybe but only if you live alone or with a roommate and don’t have kids.

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they aren’t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.

I have just recently accepted a position as Director of Compliance at a Fin-Tech company here in Naples, FL.. My previous 17 YOE were strictly in the Financial industry. Does anyone know what the average salary is for this position? I have a sinking feeling that I accepted the role too quickly without comparing salaries. The position only pays $50k/year. That seems low to me.

How might I start to evaluate whether or not it’s worth it to keep my current primary residence and turn it into a rental, instead of selling and using the cash to roll into the next down payment for our next home? Currently in our “starter home” and thinking to upgrade in a few years. Some figures to consider for current house - 299k purchase price, 240k left on mortgage, could prob rent for 2250-2500/month, or sell for 375k. It’s in a desired school district, but in the “city” tax district.
