    Yeah I survived off $95k base in SF my first year working. As long as you’re not eating out every day or just dropping a shit ton of money on unnecessary stuff, it’s not that bad

      I’m single and don’t mind living with other people in tech. Just no idea how to find those people

    If you have a $600/month car payment, you don’t seem like the frugal type and will have a tough time surviving in 130k in the Bay Area.

    Yes you should be fine. Expect rent to be $2-3k for a studio/1-bedroom
