I did E. Harlem to downtown Brooklyn for 2 years. When it was good, it was really good. When it was bad, it was really, really bad. As long as your work peeps aren't clock watching or at least understanding, you're good. There were people who lived in the burbs who would get there before I did and left after I did.

I did it. I moved to Brooklyn quickly thereafter. All just depends where you live in Manhattan. BK is still just a subway ride away.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
