What's the minimum salary you think you could live on? Like, I'm earning $200k a year, but I think I could live off $175k if I had to take a cut.

That depends on your lifestyle. Your question should be minimum you need to sustain your current lifestyle.

You can “live on” far less than that. If you need 175 K to live, I would be very concerned about your financial acumen

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.
