Germany to admit 400k skilled immigrants annually

Paying 1/3 in after tax income on rent is generally considered affordable. In the US I have gone well past that threshold. It’s why having roommates in cities is so common.

If you are in tech, it's not common to need a roommate outside the few super high cost of living cities in the US. Many of my SoCal friends have roommates, but none of my Dallas or Atlanta friends do (of course you can have roommates if you want, but at around <30% rent on income, it's not really required in most cases).

It also depends on how recently you graduated and how much commute you’re willing to have. I like walking to work which often means much higher rent.
