I’m moving to NYC for a year while I do my online masters full time (ie quitting my current job). I always wanted the NYC experience and may not get it after graduating (interned in NYC for 3 months and LOVED the city but it was too short to do everything). I’ll have $40K in cash for living expenses. What’s the best way to make this work? Are there part time jobs you’d recommend here? I’m looking at cheap coliving apts, are these the best economical option?

Any side gigs you can do?

40K is a good chunk of change, is the intention to use all of it? You can pay for a decent place in rent and still have good amount for food and going out.

If you are open, many service industries are looking to hire now (especially with all of the restaurants, coffee shops, bars opening). They are literally posting to hire in every single establishment that I enter.

Any other hobbies or skills that you can translate to money?

If you like pets / dogs, I highly recommend looking into Rover as a side gig. It’s like Airbnb for dog sitting and walking.

With everyone going back to the office, there will be lots of demand.
