[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am considering putting in a request to move to one of my company’s NYC offices, which is highly likely to be granted. I have no affiliation with DC despite being on this forum; I live in the mid-Atlantic currently. I would be willing to live with roommate’s and have no debts. Salary would be in the $75-85k range. Would that be enough? I know there is really intense competition for housing.[/quote]

Yes.

As long as you have the cash to put down first month’s rent, last month’s and a deposit, and you’re flexible about the apartment, car ownership and definition of what counts as “being in New York,” you’ll be fine.

If you have to live in a glamorous tower in Manhattan, you’re doomed.

If you’re OK with a cool, frowzy neighborhood in the middle of Queens or Brooklyn, or a place out in commuter rail country, you’ll be fine.

If you’re OK with ditching the car and having roommates, you might end up reducing your cost of living below what it is now and actually having more fun.
