26yo, 110k, 1.9K, it could be cheaper but since I don't go out much, the money saved for not going out offsets the expenses for a nice apartment.

26yo, 225K, 2.3K rent.
When I started my career at 22yo, was making around 80K and paying 1.5K rent. Target 1/3 net (take home) for rent. Napkin math I wouldn’t recommend paying more than 2K in rent until you surpass at least 100K.

Not MBB and I’m in industry now - old title. The secret is I double majored in 2 STEM degrees at an Ivy League. I also always keep my resume up to date and interview opportunistically, and I make some money on the side doing non-competitive contract work.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.
