Career Resources
Had roommates for the first six years living in the city post-college.
1st year: $1,400 in a shitty flex apartment
2nd/3rd year: $1900 in the West Village
4th year: $2,500 in Flatiron
5th/6th Year: $1,750 in the lower east side.
Live with roommates from college, it is more fun. See Investing Banking Salary and Bonuses for a budget breakdown for analysts.
Got it, thanks for the info!
Ugh I can't imagine the pain of moving every year...
Def live with roommates. more fun, and you won’t be home enough to enjoy it enough to justify the cost IMO
Did anyone decide to single in a studio? Was it worth it? To be honest, while you may not be home enough to justify the cost, I can't imagine coming home to be around others when you just want to crash get the sleep you can?
I enjoyed living by myself but did not like living in a studio because it was hard to entertain/host people who were visiting. It’s just like living in a classic dorm room and having a small living room is so worth the extra price of a 1-bedroom.
I started out with roommates, but got my own place after my first year. I actually liked the interaction with roommates, but having my own place also had its perks. Can find the appropriate cost if you look hard enough.
