I lived in CT for awhile and commuted between clients in CT (Stamford, New Haven, and Hartford) and Manhattan. Get used to the commuting times and the various ways in and out of the city. It gets crazy if there’s a weather event or other big event which NYC has a lot of.

If that rumored high speed ferry ever gets off the ground, that would be an interesting way to commute to lower Manhattan from Bridgeport/Stamford.

If you really mean "family of 2" as opposed to 2 kids-- $700k is plenty to live very well in manhattan for two adults. Why not live it up? Most go to NJ or CT for space and schools.

I’m a first year associate (almost second year). I work at a national firm and I’m not a litigator. When I started with the firm, I was told I could work out of any office. Long story short, I regret choosing the office that I chose. I’d like to transfer to another office - is that a difficult ask? I’m licensed in the state I’d like to transfer to. I don’t know how to make this request.

My utilization is 90% but all of my clients are small jobs. Does that look worse than someone who works on the larger, higher revenue generating jobs with all else equal (utilization/performance)?

Honestly, how bad are the hours at CMAAS? My firm is telling me I’m going to drown and I should stay if I value my WLB. I don’t know who to believe anymore.

Is it true that front end developers get paid less than backend/full stack developers?

I’m a full stack developer who enjoys front end work, but I’m not sure if I should be looking/applying to front end specific positions.
