2BR/1BA, non-luxury (but really well laid out with real 12x12ft+ bedrooms and a living room big enough for my 85" TV, and a corner unit you couldn't build today) A part of Astoria where current regs limit things to 7 floors, but I'm on 14. Mortgage plus maintenance is $3700  I couldn't really have a roommate I'm not dating because it's laid out for a family, but I like it.

Most of it is NYC East which gives me great sun until ~2pm, but the bedrooms have full views of the Triboro and Hell's Gate

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

A lot of these seem low, at least among my friends

Maybe skewed because people paying a lot are embarrassed

no, it's kinda the territory. A down payment in the low six figures (the co-op has a 20% minimum, but wants to see you higher) made my numbers what they are.

If you want higher I could tell you about my bosses, but that'll involve multi-million central park brownstones.

"luxury" building. maybe include whether apt has laundry/etc bc I paid more for that lmao

luxury is relative. my old place had a gym, dog run, pool, and in-unit laundry.  That was NJ though.
