Looking for a gut check. Our financial advisor says we can afford a home up to $2M. We make good money (>$500K) with no debt or loans. Up to $2M sounds absurd but the city’s COL is very high. Is this a golden handcuffs situation? We don’t want to overreach if we really shouldn’t. I’m looking for serious advice.

Plan is to purchase some time after 2 years or so. Primarily to save up for a larger down payment.

Here’s my plan of attack:
- $30K saved right now ($20K in IBonds and $10K cash)
- $90K saved by July 2023
-$130K saved by 2023 and target a $800K home

Location: Suburbs of Boston, MA

Is it common to need to do a mock case presentation for an entry level/early career interview?

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
