Newyorkers, what comp should I ask for at the SM level for a cyber role in NYC with a boutique firm?

I hear that NYC is a HCOL city, but I want to be able to afford living there very comfortably.

Depends on what you mean by “very comfortably” but I agree with A1 that for even the most bare version of living comfortable it would start at $250k plus

A1 & SVP1 - Thank you both for your inputs. Wanted to clarify something, does 250K leave me with a decent disposable income every month? Or will "living comfortably" mean "pay check to pay check"? Im not a big spender fyi, and will only buy or do things for life or work necessities generally

Are you serious rn? If you get a good priced apartment you’d be good. But if you want to live in a studio in tribeca of course not. Anyways 250k before tax is pretty good and you could like in Manhattan if you wanted. Also OP are you from nyc?

What’s your version of comfortable?

HELP! When using other offers to negotiate salary, does the employer usually ask for proof of your other offers that you mentioned? I’m super new to this so I’m just curious.

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?
