2021 ft analyst starting at a BB, was wondering if my offer letter could serve as proof of income or would I need a guarantor? I’m just worried since I start in June and wouldn’t have pay stubs to show for proof. If anyone has experience dealing with this please let me know. Thanks

Yup offer letter
Yes, although bonus usually won’t count (or they will heavily discount it). To include that they usually look at your pay stubs to get an average bonus over X years. Probably not an issue, but just in case you were thinking of stretching that budget.
With today’s rental market I’ll probably be way above the 40x salary threshold but appreciate the reminder haha
If you need help finding ways to blow more of that money on rent, I can definitely point you at some property (no I’m not a real estate agent).
I’m looking at 3b2b in some of the newer buildings preferably midtown, I found a couple really nice ones around ~4500, if u got any buildings in mind lmk too
My other comment disappeared for some reason but I’m looking at newer midtown west buildings with 3b2b or 3b1b and found a couple around ~4500, if u got buildings in mind lmk too thx man
Are you set on midtown? I realize that is probably convenient for the office (for when people start going back in the office) but I’m more of a fan of the downtown (East/west village, etc), although pricing is a bit expensive in that area so for a first year convenience and price probably win this one. I would avoid being too close to Times Square unless you’ve been in that area and are good with it, I can’t stand that area. As an example 247 W 46th is a newer building, but I would hate that area. Hell’s Kitchen might be your best bet from getting a reasonable deal.
You can also find a lot of deals in Murray hill, but you said midtown so I’m guessing you want to avoid that area (I would, but I’m also mostly past my college drinking days)
301 W 53rd is nice (although the 3bd is $5.5k right now) - about as close to Times Square as I would tolerate
243 W 54th - tiny rooms but pretty good deal and location is probably close to most offices
Those are the ones I could quickly think of (and find online), Hell’s Kitchen has a bunch of other options. Newer construction stuff is a bit harder to find for a reasonable price
Don't live in midtown...too much nuance to explain, but live downtown
When I say midtown I kind of mean Hell’s Kitchen if that makes it better lol
