35% pre tax/health insurance/401k contrition.

After food and everything I basically have zero leftover.

I live alone in nyc. I’m 38 and just can’t imagine having a roommate at this point.

Luckily I have a side gig that earns around $30,000/year so I use that for savings and extras.

Even with that, I’m paying too much in rent.

18% - I live in NYC with two roommates in Williamsburg. The place I live in is older and not super updated, but very spacious and we have a patio. It’s a great deal for location and space

I use 1/3 of my apartment for my home office, so I pay 1/3 of my rent from my business account, and the rest from personal.

I’m in NYC - currently at 14% but roommate is moving out and it’s increasing by 2x. Bummed but I’m wondering where everyone else is at

what's your salary and neighborhood?? I live in NYC, lived in almost every borough the past 4 years, and any apartment I've ever lived in regardless of roommates was at LEAST 40% of my monthly pay.

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.

This past week I got an envelope hand delivered to me by a student I do not teach. In it was a trans pin she had bought for me, as well as a drawing and a letter of thanks.

Again, this is not my student, but I think this speaks to the power of visibility. Students need to know we are members of society. All I did was wear my own trans pin and “love is love” pin on my lanyard, and my trans flag mask (occasionally).

But for that student it was enough.
