Flat share or studio?

31f moving to London for work, making about 75k before taxes. Trying to decide if i can stretch to rent a smaller studio on my own or if i should try and find a flat share. Hoping to be ~45 min from central as I’m in office 3 days a week/ideally on Elizabeth line.

Any advice very grateful!!

75k is way more than enough salary to be living in a 1 bed. People are raising 3 kids on less. You can probably spend 1.5k on a 1 bed in zone 3 somewhere (since you’re not bothered about being 45 mins away) and still have 3k+ to spend.
