CovingTTTon BETAS probs waking up with RAGING HANGOVERS from getting hammered on POPOV vodka straight from a plastic bottle. Meanwhile SKADDEN bros work up fresh as fuck, went for a five mile run, about to BRUNCH hard on MOET mimosa with fresh squeezed OJ.

Covington partner$, however, are in marathon sex sessions with their girlfriends; getting tied up with silk cords and slapped with FAT WADS of Franklins. Safe word is 'NORAISE'.

this chart showing city/salary/income to match NYC buying power doesn't seem to be in line with prevailing economics of regional CPI

[Monochromatic Oeuvre]

The CPI charts are dumb because they're attempting to compare like goods without adjusting for the average lifestyle in a place. I'm sure a 2000 sq ft house is 2x as expensive in NYC as it is in Dallas, but people simply don't do that in Manhattan. Tax-independent, the average person in NYC doesn't really spend all that much more in living expenses than the average person at Dallas. If you equalize the cost, then you have a better idea of the differentials you look at (4BR, but in Dallas, versus 1BR, but in Manhattan). Different people make different choices, so there's no point in making an argument.

Kids kind of destroy this analysis in MFH. It might work for single people, although I don't know many single people in non NY places living in 4 bedrooms.

Are the levels some kind of black box system to screw people?

I agree with your overall point but don't think this is true at all. Not many single people buying huge houses even in secondary markets.

[hoos89]

Young professionals without kids are generally not buying 4br houses. They're probably getting 2br apartments for ~$1500/mo. Not to mention how generally expensive everything else in NYC is. And taxes (which is a pretty major factor in TX cities being considered so cheap).

My understanding is the levels equate to years.

Level 1 = 1st year = $180k
Level 2 = 2nd & 3rd years = $200k
Level 3 = 4th, 5th, & 6th years = $260k
Level 4 = 7th+ years = $305k.

I've only anecdotally heard of someone being moved up a year early for excellent performance. I'm assuming it's also possible to be held back a year for poor performance, too. If you're hitting yours hours, though, it seems like you can expect to progress as I've noted above.

You deserve a medal for this post. A lot of people outside of DC may not appreciate how epically hilarious this is. No firm-sponsored brunch for me after the race either, but I'm only at a V100.

I never know if I can trust the data. I read shit like this that says Manhattan transportation is 20% more expensive than Dallas and I start wondering whether they know that most people in Manhattan aren't spending more a lot more than $118 a month, and that if something like that is so blatantly wrong, how dumb might the rest of the methodology be. It's hard to measure substitute effects, but the NYC metro area isn't all that much richer on the whole than most other areas, and people somehow get by.

I take a taxi maybe once a month, unless it's being paid for by the firm. Subways get you almost anywhere you need to go just as quickly as a cab does, and when you can pay for the monthly card pre-tax it costs like $75 a month. It's nothing.

[BigZuck]

How much does your standard draft beer cost in NYC? It's probably like 5-6 bucks in Texas.

How about a pound of pasta? Probably like 1.50-2.00 in Texas.

Is NYC wildly more expensive than that?

Glad to see this thread taking a step in the right direction.
