Has anyone made a move from a “cushy” lifestyle to move to NYC? I’ve had a desire to move for a while but the logical part of my brain is holding back. Also insight into PwC NYM would be great!

I transferred my Houston offer to NYM. The salary adjustment was definitely not enough to justify the HCOL and the hours seem to be worse here. Only really moved here bc I had to for personal reasons. Otherwise, don't think it was worth it, but I am pretty money and work/life balance driven. Also I think a city like Houston has everything NY has to offer but a lower cost.
