I make 100 even, live across the street from the twitter building and I'm paying a mortgage on another property in Ohio. Honestly, trade a few nights out for higher rent right downtown or live a little further outside the side and trade rent for activities. It's easily doable.

OP- you need to calm down with your demands homi "it doesn't matter, is 106 enough?" Nobody on his forum is you, and only you will know if it is enough. Be a consultant and do your research based on facts and not an anonymous forum. Jesus, kids these days 😆

$106k in San Fran is decent if you're okay with living on lunch meat and sucking dick for toilet paper.

Bruh, a lot of it depends on your life style. Does your millennial life style include blowing money on strippers every weekend? Do you want to live in a swanky place right by the water? How much money do you want to save on a monthly basis? Also, 106K might be good depending on what KIND of job it is.

Guarantee you these people saying "no" don't even live in CA. Yes OP, 106k is enough assuming you are young and single. Do these people realize that PwC only pays 2nd year associates like 80k in SF? Sheesh. It's a huge pay bump from what you're currently making.

It's fine. I make less and I'm able to afford it. More importantly if you're moving to SF you need to stop calling it 'San Fran' immediately

What kind of offer is it OP? Consulting firm? PE?

It doesnt matter. Is 106k enough or not?

There are many factors to comfortable and you can't just expect to make a ridiculous salary because cost of living is so high here in SF. Business insider just did an article on what people say about living on 120k in SF http://read.bi/268BUUQ

Hello everyone,

In HR call asked for 20 LPA, should have gone

for bigger number than this or this ctc is ok.

Also does Amdoc offer wfh?, as HR says till december only wfh is there, after that office will begin.

Please guide with your experiences🙏

Director Support Engineering Salary MS?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

Just jumped from 60K —> 110K after 2 years of being very underpaid although being considered a “top performer”.

If you’re on the fence about jumping to another firm or starting to look elsewhere, realize that loyalty is often only skin deep in consulting. Prioritize your career goals, whether they be financial otherwise. Praise and appreciation are nice, but don’t let ANYONE make you feel bad about choices you make for your happiness.
