I’ve lived in Austin for 10 years and while prices are rising it is no where near as bad cost of living as LA/SF/Chi/NYC. There is over a $3 per gallon saving in just gas :)

In my 30+ years in life, I have been pigeon holed and never lived anywhere else but NYC. However, visited / worked in many many other states / countries. Yes NY is crowded, dirty, smelly. But there is no other place in the world that compares to NY. We are suffering a bit now and but bounce back soon hopefully.

If you are outgoing, love the city life and want to experience things that you never will anywhere else - this is the place! If you do want a cushy, nice life - houses with parking and big nice lawn, people with fake smiles - this ain’t it!

P.s. long CityMD or Trader Joe’s lines always wants to make me move though.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
