Looking to move to NYC in the next couple of months. I found a great studio for $2300. Is this too much to commit to on a $90k salary? I am expecting a salary increase this summer but am worried about other COL expenses. The good thing is no need to spend more on a gym.

You may not qualify - most places require you make 40x the rent or have a guarantor (who must make 80x the rent), unless you have major savings. Sounds like you’d be right under that requirement. Regardless, it’d be pretty tight if you want any spending money besides rent and basic living expenses.

Right now with covid you may be able to get a 1 bed 1 bath for around that price.

Yeah it’s expensive but people still do it.

You could do that but it’d be tight. 2300 gross or net?

Yikes. That sounds high to me, you won't be saving much but it's not impossible.

Hello, I have received offer letter from EY LLP for Manager position.
There is a bonus component over and above the CTC mentioned in offer letter.

When asked, HR conveyed the below, verbally.
'Bonus is between 10-20% depending on performance. Usually 15% on an average.'

1) This bonus range (10-20%) is not mentioned in the offer letter. Is this usually the case?

2) Are people in EY receiving the bonus right from the first year on the job or is there some extra t&c I was not made aware?
