@KPMG.. I am an SM and have a roommate 🙂..

It's just smarter to have a roommate until you buy your own place - especially in expensive places such as NYC

K1- clearly you don't live in NYC. Pretty common. I am too old for room mate now so moved to Queens. SM

And if you're single.. why not? You're not around most of the week anyway.. a nice roomie can look after your pet, look after your place, be company and lend a ear when you come home sad and dejected on Thursdays,help out with errands that you were not able to squeeze in during your weekend.. and you can use the extra cash and just travel more, buy stuff or do whatever..

Rental occupancy rates in NYC hover around 98-99% so they can get away with ridiculous rental prices causes this dependency on roommates... depends on the neighborhood, but it'll run you about $2k for a studio, $3-$3.5k for a 1 bedroom, $4.5-$5k for a 2bedroom... you of course can find cheaper places the further our from Manhattan you move.. but it ends up being a game of what are you willing to give up for it.

If you dont have a roommate so much of your pay would go to rent. Wouldn't leave enough to actually be able to go out and have fun in this crazy city or attempt to save

I have roomates and several tenants, they pay to watch my properties. Maybe I need to move up the ladder by working for KPMG 😒

I'm not knocking anyone! Just think it's ridiculous that this is the standard these days in NYC and SF. It's like you're doing everything right and are ostensibly among the more well off people income-wise in the whole country (and the world by extension), and you don't even get to have your own place. And I live in NYC (but with my GF)!

Manager 1 how much do you have to pay for your accommodation. I don't stay in nyc but I pay around 2 k in burbs.

What's the rent ? 20k ?

Roomie with or without benefits?

Is anyone at a job they really, truly enjoy that also pays competitively (and has good benefits)? In my experience, I haven’t found anything that satisfies both. Either I love the job and I’m grossly underpaid or the job is totally mediocre but the money is great. Is it really possible to have it all or do I need to lower my standards? Maybe it’s just the way this industry is?

Hello,
I am in my late 20s currently in a career transition from teaching to consultancy. I am interested in consultancy jobs within the international development industry that would also allow me to travel. However, I do not have any relevant experience. I speak French and have a background in business and Political Science.
Any advice on how to break into the field with no experience?
Thanks in advance!
