Bare minimum atleast 80k for both. You can stay in jersey city/Hoboken/Brooklyn and work in NYC.

You mean Manhattan? If it’s NYC in general, you can be happy and have a modest living at $100k

Define “comfortable”. I’m single and couldn’t live comfortably on $80k

$300K+ combined

300k to rent a shity apartment and live comfortable 😬 no thanks.

@Advisory Manager 1... Are you saying $300k is not enough?

I’m in Texas. Refuse to live there. Too cold and too expensive

I’m from NYC. Refuse to live in Texas.

Too backwards, redneck, and boring

Should I just cancel one of them? Or should I at least put both on the table and see what they say? They're going to hire me either way, but I wonder if it's a bad start to ask for both.
