I’m currently w/a firm in FL, but completely WFH. I’m feeling stuck in my role, under appreciated, and I know I’m under paid, but for me to move up and on, it’s looking like I’d need to make the move to NYC and probably return to an office, at least part time, based off my interviews. Opinions welcome from everyone - is it worth it? Giving up the weather, lower cost of living, convenience, and WFH life to progress in the industry and make more money? What’s the NYC finance life like, really?

There's a major trade-off, and it really depends on your priorities. If higher comp is the biggest thing on your list, then moving to NYC might be your best option. But you'll definitely have to make sacrifices in other areas. Personally, I wouldn't do it, but that's just me.

Thank you! I appreciate the honesty.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I think if you're on the younger side, you'll experience a lot of growth and development in NYC that FL just can't offer. If you're older though, I would stick to FL for the stability

Def younger lol
