Don't take this the wrong way, but don't ask "what should I do in New York?" without any context or preferences. It's New York, not a one-horse town.
Go to a show, go to a baseball game, find a concert, sit in the park have brunch, go to brunch with drag queens, sing karaoke until 3am and eat ramen. Or be one of those people who goes to the M&M store in Times Square if that's your idea of fun.

Totally depends on what you like. The city has everything to offer, and always has something for everyone

Museums (met, moma, Guggenheim), walk Central Park,see a show or two. August will be hot.

you don’t have to see the entire met, just see what you want

Book bus and boat tours, you’ll see all the major attractions. It will be hot, you can lay out in Central Park on a blanket. You can do a day or overnight trip to the Hamptons / Montauk or vineyards.

Walking through Central Park. Boat tour to see Statue of Liberty. Museum of the City of New York - it had the awesome You Are Here film retrospective but it looks like it may have ended. After being in NYC take a side trip to Hedo in Jamaica to relax a few days before coming back to work

Go to the 9/11 museum and memorial. It’s part of the story of where we are today and offers a window back to another time. I also enjoyed dinner at the Central Park boathouse

Check out a couple of music venues for live music. I love the blues/jazz scene in NYC, but there is all kinds of music. Hop on hop off bus will give you a macro level view of the city. I also enjoy the village, little Italy and Chinatown. These are all areas for walking around, window shopping, and getting a “feel” for the neighborhoods. Recommend checking out the food in one of those areas if you enjoy Italian or Chinese.

$325k TC at MBB in a non-generalist (still partner track) path. Love the intellectual variety, smart colleagues, flexibility (WFH has let me take occasional 2-3h windows during the day for personal activities) - can’t take the stress anymore. Are WFH industry roles at the $300-500k TC level really that much less stressful?

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

Have you ever made a career move that you didn’t really want to make bc it wasn’t the right time but you knew it would advance your career and help you financially?

I have a great opportunity to really advance professionally and financially, but if I’m being honest, I don’t want it right now. What I’m doing works for my life right now and I enjoy where I’m at. But I also feel like I’d be nuts to pass up such a great opportunity.
