I was around 50 to 60 percent. Lease just ended. Feels good to have money again. Paying the card off and buying a tiny house.

First whole paycheck of every month, basically. But I'm an analyst and living in downtown Seattle, so I was quite aware of how expensive it would be.. Worth it for a couple years while you're young and single. (But then it's off to the burbs!)

8% in Dallas! And I'm female.

Is this everyone's % of gross or net income?

If gross, 23%. If net, 37%

@consultant 3 where do you live in DC?

Holy Smokes KPMg1, are you London?

@A1 I live in a townhouse in Shaw, near the Mt. Vernon triangle area

16% for gross. Closer to 22% if net. This includes utilities and stuff as well.

14% downtown Denver

40% of net, but I'm putting a lot in 401(k). 24% of gross.

Trying to keep it at 20% of gross. NYC.

37% gross is in Arlington if you're in DC area and wondering about mortgages / rent

35% of net. Renting in DC area. I want to be like you 8%-12% folks.

Thanks to CA taxes, about 45% net. LA is the best 🙄

40% net

~40% (38%) Net in Chicago 🔫

Geeze ZS I live in Gold coast and I'm half that. Are you in the Trump tower or something?

Where are you living D10?

11% gross for a sick place in DFW. That low cost living...

7% after tax, I'm a cheap bastard ;)

About 30% in SF (actually in the city). When I was in NYC last year it was about 34% (midtown west). That's all net.

Should you discuss salary range with an internal company recruiter prior to setting up an interview? With external recruiters it’s pretty easy to talk about the expected range.
