4:49PM- you’re a comp professional who is still in college with a major in statistics?
“Actually first year analysts at a securities firm make $230,000 first year out of college”
riiigghhht. too bad none of them are hiring right now… you people have no idea what people on wall street make (yes, i work on wall st). sure, there are an elite few making $2mn+, but the majority are in the 100-300k range. nice pay, but they aren’t buying a brooklyn heights brownstone with one bonus. plus, with the lack of near-term job security and the fact that we aren’t called “smart money” for nothing, i wouldn’t hold your breath.
If the prices of the houses really go that far down, the economy will be sooo bad that your purchasing power won’t matter. Also, the interest rates will go up. You’re going to end up spending the same per month on your housing.
I made ONE BILLION DOLLARS!!!
When I was 9!
I wasn’t bragging. I was informing the person who said that jobs in DC pay as much as they do in NYC.
They don’t.
4:27 thanks I am a statistics major and a compensation professional and my figures are correct
I made 145k when I was 22 — in job in media, nothing crazy. And that was in 1994. Just saying that 29/150k is not something to really brag about, is it? Even in “the arts”?
Ugh – my husband and I make about 160K combined, so we are not middle-aged people making 40K. Also, we ARE trading up – so are not “bitter renters” – we are “in the game”. But housing (and childcare) are by far our biggest expenses – much more than people pay outside the city. Will we stay? Yes. Will we probably pay a pretty penny when we trade up? Yes. But we are not rushing to buy right now when at last, it seems the purchasing power on our cash is getting a bit better, as there are glimmers of sanity in that sellers are realizing they have to make deals. The legions of mega-paid Manhattanites can only go so far in propping up this unsustainable market, and many people have realized that prices need to correct to a historically more sustainable level.
i make probably 3 times as much at my job here in nyc, than i would at a similar job in any comparable city.
part of the reason i live here.
notice i said comparable city. which for me, there are very few in these here united states.
