Hello! I received an offer for an SFA position and I have the option to move to SF or NY. I know it’s ultimately my decision but what seems like a better move? I’m from LA so SF isn’t too far from home which I like but NY as a city seems more lively which I also like. I’m not too sure what the cost of living at each would be like either but I just know both are expensive and places seem small. Any advice or feedback would be great! Thank you in advance!!

I've lived in both, and I can say that I enjoyed living in NYC a lot more than the time I spent in SF. I find the culture a lot more interesting, the food is better, and I love having more pronounced seasons, although the winters might be a bit brutal for someone used to living in LA. If the decision comes down to purely what city you like better then I'd choose NYC but that's just me

Do you know where in NY is a safe place to rent? I heard getting a place there is insane because of how competitive it is!

Use an online calculator to figure out cost of living and go visit each city, at least NYC, if you have time, as it will be a big cultural change and long distance move. NYC is nice but can be smelly, too busy and cold, compared to the West coast.

so every single major dip the last 4 months have been magnified by the use of leverage.

Frustrating but also somewhat positive news that onchain analytics, fundamentals, and general TA are still in play. We’ll see what happens because I don’t think these levered traders will stop
