I would like to spend a month or little less in NYC to get a feeling for it before I make the decision to move there. Dont have a crazy budget to get a hotel for a month and airbnb fees are stupid high. What other options do I have?

I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
I did a tech sales bootcamp. Im just worried about what questions he will ask me? Im thinking more technical in terms of sales processes and even sales funnels? Any thoughts?

Anyone else have this experience? Did it change over time?
