Or should I LC to Target tier 1s? How many companies in NYC pays as well as tier 1s?
Lol blind is like living in a bubble
I survived in NYC on 12K TC for years. Learn to hustle
Bullshit. Explain your living situation, bills, food, commute, etc.
Wework, Did you have an SO or parent who made real money?
You can save 60-80k for sure.Dont aim to live in Manhattan.
Every other eng on blind making 250k+ makes me wonder this question, that's why
A lot of people are: 1. outliers 2. lying Remember that the data here and on levels.fyi is a subset of the technology market. Also, TC with stocks is not as useful as what's on your W2 at the end of the day imo (should be similar if you sell the stocks immediately) That said, if you're senior and shooting for high paying companies, you can crack 250 TC
Thanks man, these are wise words
NYC is expensive but you can survive with this salary. How lavish of lifestyle are you looking for? Live within your means!!!!
Not gonna live a lavish life, prob just gonna go out here and there on the weekends
And cook and eat at home most of the time
You can live on 50k if you need to.
100k gets you a comfortable life in Manhattan with some minimal budgeting, if you’re willing to have roommates (or find a cheap studio in a less hot location like uws). How much you save depends on your desired lifestyle
The fuck? If you cant live off of 165k, theres an obvious problem for you besides your shitty LC
Well said, Sir! 💯
I'm not disagreeing on both counts. Esp the shitty LC
Based on what you’re saying, you should be fine and even be able to put some $$$$ aside.
Where is $165k not livable? What type of lifestyle are you trying to have, though?
