(Seattle) What should my expense look like at a total compensation of 140,000 a year after taxes? I'm about to move and trying to figure things out Full breakdown below.

If the place is 3404, assume +$150 for utilities, +$10 for renter's insurance (your lease will likely require it), and since it sounds like this is a luxury amenity building, +$40 for misc facility fees. $3604 / $9083 = 40%.

Holy shit.

Wait should I include my bonus and my stocks when calculating my total compensation when trying to figure out rent? Because if I do it's not so yikes.

when you put it like that it is really bad. I'll look at something around 2500 then.

401k match is free money. Even with hoops to jump through and restrictions and taxes later or whatever, free is free.

So if I match my 401k 100% will I be able to immediately withdraw it for free money? Or like withdraw it after 5 years for free money? I'm not really sure how it all works.

If your employer is who I think it is

on your walk to work

It is not!

It's the tech company other than Amazon in the area. However I assume the health benefits are comparable. But I'll look into it more in depth.
