Finding a place in NYC for that much 😖😖

1600

$1500. Used to have take home of $4800. Rent was $1650. Tried living on $3500 total, and saved $1300 per month. Student loan payment was only $200/month. The good old days.

Are you trying to do a studio or are you going to have roommates

Going to have roommates just tough to find a descent place on that budget

Really? You should be able to get a one bedroom apartment in Murray hill or Hell's Kitchen for around 3200-3500. Most are no fee as well. Pay an extra grand to put a wall in and you have yourself a 2 bedroom.

Can't really afford NYC.. Look out to queens and maybe, MAYBE, even Brooklyn.

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide.

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
