Network your butt off. The financial industry is pretty tight knit here while also being large. Lots of opportunities to meet people!

Also, have fun! It’s an amazing city with something for everyone. Hope you love it!

Treat the sidewalks as a highway (you wouldn’t just stop your car in a highway, right? You’d pull over). Meet as many people as possible, bc the office is smaller than you think (as long as you think it’s the same size as an entire town in upstate). Pay the lowest rent you can handle so you can spend your extra cash on enjoying life outside of your apt. Go out and have fun- even if it’s not your thing, try it for a few months just to know your way around and see the city in a different way. Enjoy!
