92k - 6k for health insurance is 86k. So he could be off by a bit, assuming no 401k, no short term disability or life insurance, or any other of the myriad of things that can come out of your paycheck? You are a faggot for calling LARP, go fuck yourself, you envious prick.
Hello, i make $140,000 in NYC as a software developer
>SWE
>actually paying for your own health care
Must be a shit tier company
Imagine being so fucking retarded that you dont understand the concept of pre tax health insurance contributions lowering your take home pay. go bathe in acid
grossly underpaid, no. only people making 180k are at facebook or goldman
145k at microsoft? HAH. fuck me dude. what a disgusting company and salary. id rather not work at all. imagine having to use visual studio. WOW
this is the reality of the industry. if you arent able to crack into FB, you can make FB tier money but just supply your own benefits since it is NY state.
Spouse insurance and 401k are the reason for the difference.
Even if you go with his raw number of 90k post tax, you get $7300 per month, compared to what I said was $5800. Anyone with a brain understands that this is not materially different in NYC, it would basically pay for parking or a vacation or a coke habit.
Depends on yoe, 140k is ok for fresh grad but point is your compensation will go up with experience... there’s no reason why you can’t be making 250k in NYC within 5-10 years. I live in a cheaper city and know tons of people in tech here making 200-300k. Any of the top 20-30 or so tech/finance companies pay this much
He makes at least that much. That’s how much gross you have to have to be ineligible for an IRA, which he told me he was. I’m just chiming one about your point about six figures not being much in a big city.
The Metro North isn't $500/month if you live closer to Manhattan faggot. Move to Riverdale you can get your own 1 bedroom here for under $2k
Go to LIRR's website and tell me how much a monthly pass from a zone that is worth living in. Don't you dare start talkin bout fuckin Riverdale or Kew Gardens or any of that cucked ass shit. Come back at me when you can afford Sands Point
assuming this isnt a larp, get a fucking accountant. you shouldnt be paying half your income in taxes at that salary.
i live in NYC and my wife and I made 200k, rent is 2300, it was enough to save 4-5k a month as we budget strictly in addition to 15% retirement contributions
