It entirely depends on which part of each city. Could be as easy as walking one block or as difficult as taking 3 buses

I hope that in the near future we can move past the flawed thinking that drivers just need information and encouragement, and have proper physical protective barriers.

No, making a salary that is higher than the national average annual salary is not "entry level salary." It is a high salary. A first year attorney is "entry level" but is making 200k and that's obviously not an entry level salary.

Just because the starting salary is what it is, does not make it an entry level salary.

He banned smoking tobacco in his country because of his own personal feelings towards tobacco that day. Imagine having smoked your entire life and suddenly going cold turkey. Now imagine a country where 3/5 people went cold turkey all at the same time.

Can you see why making a decision like that is wrong? A decision that affects everyone (ban on smoking, ban on free discussion) is more dramatic and selfish than just taking care of yourself (quitting smoking without banning smoking for your whole country/not commenting on posts that make you upset)?

Entry level? My base salary is less than that and I have 3 years of experience :(

That’s probably about 45k after taxes which would be about $3700 a month, and you can get a 1BR for around 2k a month. Not easy but doable

Every child with a parent who can no longer afford to give them public education in a decent system is a child that has a harder shot at realizing their potential, you flippant, ignorant simpleton. Go back to chatting about super smash brothers with the other speaking apes.

I think you maybe need to be careful when coming on message board and characterizing a salary that has taken me 10 years in the workforce to get to as “entry level” and yes, we know it’s expensive to live here.

You are either woefully misinformed or an intentional agent of evil. Educate yourself on insulin costs over the last 30 years and find out. People are dying for the inability to pay for a life-necessary drug whose patent was sold for a dollar because of the benefit human beings were intended to gain by its discovery.

Fairly easy, you could get to Cambridge from Somerville in 15-20 minutes by bus. I’ve lived in the area for about 4 years and love how bike-friendly and walkable the area is

It’s on the lower range for a normal starting salary for the field, not trying to humble brag

How easy is it to get from Somerville to Cambridge? I would not have a car, so ideally bus or walking are my options

You’re fine.

How much do you pay for rent?

Ignore the boomers, they still think it’s 1986

Thank you

I don't get what the example guy did wrong.

Edit: haha you blocked me so I couldn't read ur comment or respond, what did I do to you? Don't be childish.

It’s about maintaining a normal standard of living and having enough savings for the long term. Cambridge is an expensive place to live, I just wanted to make sure I wouldn’t be using most of my paycheck on rent and groceries

You're not wrong. If OP rear ended the car, OP is at fault.

Thanks. Cant reason with irrational

and not eating?

Next Monday (the 28th) the city council has a roundtable to discuss the Municipal Broadband Feasibility Study FWIW: https://cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=4186

85k is entry level salary in a few fields.

It isn't "common." It also isn't particularly rare.

It's not MUCH less in Somerville, but look there as well.

There are many great properties you could find and survive quite well at 85k even in Cambridge, which is higher than most surrounding areas.

Don't restrict yourself to one tiny part of Boston.
