After a year in IB with a PE job lined up, I’m curious at what point financially did people feel “financially secure” to switch roles outside of IB / PE / HFs in NYC.
For context, have saved ~90% of bonus and ~30% of after-tax base, but hard to imagine sustaining a similar lifestyle in NYC without the high-paying job
