Analysts Living Alone - Studio or 1 Bedroom Apartment?
FT in June at an IB in SF. Title says it all, is it worth the extra money to have a 1BDR over a studio in a high COL city? A 1bdr seems like a better idea if you ever want to have people over or not feel like you live in a small box, especially with covid and all. If you live in a studio apartment or a 1 bedroom, would love to hear why you chose your option and how its impacted your work life balance / attempt at a social life.
FWIW the analysts do have protected Saturdays and usually work 4-10 hours on Sundays. Weekdays are brutal though.
TBH as an anaylst would probably go with a studio to save, in SF you're likely paying an extra ~$800 a month for a minimal increase in space by getting a 1 bedroom.
I'm at NYC not SF but can say that getting a 1 bedroom was the best decision I ever made. Having a distinction between work (living area) and home (room) during these brutal WFH times is quite a benefit. Also, rent dropped substantially in NYC and I have read that the situation is even more dire in SF, so use this as an opportunity to snag a 1 bedroom apartment with a 1 year + 1 year extension lease at a bargain price. If your group has a good weekend policy that is enforced than as you said having people come over would be nice at the 1BR.
