Just save a "little" bit? you should be aiming for 1k savings per month

What about for positions not in the Bay Area bubble?

Does that not apply to all major metropolitan areas?

No, not every major city pays devs living expenses + $1,000/month.

Well I was managing about £1500k/month into my ISA last year central London.

That's grand pal.

Obviously this is relative to your location

I think "save 10%" is the rule-of-thumb and a more inclusive way to state it.
