Things in NYC are on the rise with their new communist like mayor.

That’s just part of the New York Experience . Cultural Enrichment. You’re just backwards if you don’t appreciate a good subway shiv from the depths of the Third World.

There’s no better place to live as a young person on the planet. I did for two weeks of training in a nation wide session of brokers for Smith Barney. 18 months later had a six week training for those who qualified. Granted housing was paid for in a hotel, but that was the funnest and most rewarding time of my life. It was amazing. Beautiful girls everywhere and really smart people.

My wife went to college here and never left until we got married and had three kids.

I moved in my 30s. All I can say is that you better have a plan before moving here.

I grew up about 3.5 hours from NYC in the catskills. Been there many times. Not my thing.

She’d be starting mostly from scratch, picking up smaller jobs at first.


She has an advantage not many before her had.

She can show her butthole in OnlyFans to make rent as long as she needs to.

I regret not moving to NYC and going the finance route. I graduated in 2012 so it was slim pickings for finance jobs.

No better place than to be a new employee for an investment bank with partners abusing expense accounts to feed you and get you wasted.

They're not the same. She's chasing emotions (shocker,) discounting how much film production there is in much cheaper COL locations like Georgia, New Mexico, Canada, etc. At least if you move to LA you could end up whoring yourself out on Vanderpump Rules as a waitress.

Living in any big city is a young persons game. It takes so much energy just to get from point A to point B. And when a couple get a bit older and their first child comes along, the wife wants the white picket fence and a yard so little Johhny and Susie can play outside. It would be a blast as a younger, more successful, better looking version of myself. But I’m too old and cranky for that now.

You don’t have to live in NYC to work in NYC. There’s plenty of affordable places to live in commuting distance.

Always felt safer in NYC than in NOLA and BRLA. This thread really exposes how little people know about the NYC area.
