About 10% after tax in NYC. This is a combined income for myself (changed careers and started over completely early 30s) and my husband (same field since graduating college 15 years ago). We also live in a 1 BR in Queens, which cuts costs significantly. We pay $500 less for more space here than we were paying in Brooklyn.

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule.
