Hello!
Current Salary: $68k
New Salary (I start Monday): $85k + 15% bonus paid out quarterly ($97.75k). They will also give me a debit card loaded with $3900 for the year as subsidized lunches ($15 per day, x 5 days a week, x 52 weeks)...
Current Rent: $650 a month for a 1 bed 1 bath (I currently live in the cheap part of utah)
New Rent: $400, utilities included... I will have 3 roommates (I'll live in the expensive part... 5 min from work :))
$3k housing expense + ~$30k in total compensation = WIN.
100% of these savings with go to my fidelity account. Surprisingly, it didn't shave much time off my FIRE date (rough numbers on firecalc told me 1.5 years shaved).
Humble brag... But I'm so happy I made the decision to interview elsewhere. I'm happy about making the decision to live with roommates (living only would have been $900 a month near my work, getting 3 roommates is resulting in $6k in savings). We will see how it goes living with roommates... I'm month to month, so I can run away if I hate it.
FYI annual expenses: $25k. I'm trying to get closer to $20k. MMM lifestyle is addicting.
