Re: New York salary
Thanks all for the comments.
I'm not necessarily looking to live in Manhattan, but the job is there.
Things are moving on, and the company would like me to fly out for another meeting- they've asked me to have some thoughts on salary.
What about places within a reasonable train commute- NJ, Connecticut. etc.
Is $200k still the magic number, or is something in the $150k range OK?

Re: New York salary
Also what do you consider a reasonable commute? A half hour or 1.5 hours one way, would make a difference on where to live and what kind of salary to aim for to maintain a decent lifestyle you might be looking for.

One thing to factor in is that living in the city, you pay city income tax. When we moved out to Westchester I found that my Metro-North monthly ticket was less than what I'd been paying in city income tax. (OTOH, property taxes out here are crazy, but you don't pay them directly if renting - the landlord will include the cost in the rent they charge.)

Start with housing, unities, phone, car, groceries etc and then look at the "optional" expenditure.
Also you need to know if you will rent vs. buy as that impacts your tax (mortgage interest is deductible), so buying can help lower your tax bill, as do a number of other things.

Re: New York salary
Thanks all. I've indicated that I'd be looking for a minimum salary of $175k, which I thought would scare them off but I've now been invited to fly out for a face to face.
seems like a crazy amount of cheddar, but they're still interested.
Office is within a 5 min walk of times square.
looking to keep my commute to no more than an hour.
We're looking at rentals, but with not having a proper understanding of the transit options, it's difficult to draw a boundary. Ideally want a single family detached home. Will need at least one car, but will hopefully use public transport for commuting. I have two young kids (both under 10) so decent schools is important.
Rent budget is around $5k.
Can anyone recommend some areas? Currently looking at westchester, montclair, but open to anywhere with these parameters.
Thanks

Re: New York salary
You don't seem to realise how BE works. You ask a question, you get lots of sage advice based on the practical experience of the BE horde. ..... Then you ignore the advice and do your own thing. At least that is usually how it seems to work.
