Planning on spending a few years in NYC after graduate school.
Money won't really be an issue since i with in finance.
I only want to do 2-5 years though.
Anything more than that and I think I might share the same sentiments as other NY famb in here.
Definitely looking at Harlem, Greenwich, or Astoria

Stay where you are at and consider moving to cities that are currently developing into urban/gentrification hubs. NYC is NOT the place to move too right now. I have no idea why people are still moving here in droves when they are gonna have to move back home in like a year or two.

he sure is...
the fact is NYC eats its kids.... so people not strong enough or had a rough time making it here always tell cats how horrible it is in the NEW NYC... pre-bike lane NYC was a good time but move with the wave and learn to hustle differnt and NYC is a dream everyday..
i live in flatbush.... Gentrification is at a all time time high over here...
NYC is still poppin!
just turn down your expectations and youll love it...

yeah, NYC isnt just Williamsburg & SoHo.
plenty of shoe lace & bubble gum options out there. nothing glamorous though.
1st off, dont come over here without any money...u gonna need at least a few G's in survival money till you get on your feet.
-u can rent rooms for like 120-150 a week.
-craiglist got jobs, gigs..so navigate da landscape to get work ASAP.
hope u don't owe any student loans with that history major...
dead on point boy!
the grit dont quit in nyc you gotta roll with the punches....

Find a job and place to stay BEFORE you move here. Have a lot of money saved up too. People move here thinking it's gonna be like a movie or tv show and then reality hits them real quick. NYC is not for the weak or laid back type.

where do you want to go? LA? Miami? ATL?
It's like the go-to move for young folks especially if they're Black.

wow
If your friend is trying to buy a house or coop, 50K is a good amount. But if hes going to rent, he should be fine with 23k. Is he on drugs tho?
Everybody's coming here but not everyone can find a job in 7 days. You may have to work several part time, on and off the books for a bit. Receptionist by day, waiter by night for example.
