[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Not at Kirkland or a peer firm to Kirkland. The non-equity partners at my firm are not "just" senior associates like at Kirkland.

I have not bought a place yet as I'm planning on moving markets in the semi-near future (with sign off from my firm) and will consider buying a place a year or so after the move once I figure out the areas that would be best for me. It will likely be a condo rather than a SFH just because I like being in the thick of it so to speak and don't enjoy suburban living but we shall see. Maybe a townhome is a good compromise. $5500 is a lot of money even making the amount I make all in. On top of the rent will be fees for parking my car, utilities, insurance, etc so it will all add up and will probably look closer to 6300~ for rent/utilities just by itself. I'm currently paying $1700~ for rent/utilities so that would be a big jump.

I'm aware I'm asking these questions far in advance, I just like to be prepared and do my research so I'm not caught flatfooted. In addition, it would give me additional time to save extra funds for the capital buy-in if going that route is possible/makes sense.[/quote]
