Is it really dumb to move to NYC in January? Possible new job starts then but not sure how things are looking and if it’s a bad move (literally) on my end.

You have so much time to decide, I wouldn’t rule it out. You can easily find an apartment two weeks before moving to the city

This is also 100% true. It's way too early to decide this. I'd revisit this in like November

I'm here. I think you'll be fine. But if you're currently living with parents or a cheaper COL city than I'd see if your new job will be letting people work remotely still during that time. If the are, save your money and wait to move to the city

I personally would wait until after winter. Especially if there really will be a second wave of COVID. Would be miserable to be stuck in an apt.
But... that’s just my opinion.

No idea. There could be a vaccine by then.

Is that true? I thought it took like 4 years to make a vaccine

Why would January be a bad time? Rent is cheaper that time of year.

I was thinking maybe because of covid. It’s obviously hard to predict if it’ll be better/worse/the same by then but it’s just scary to knowingly be moving to a hot spot city given the circumstances. But definitely good to know rent is cheaper at that time of year!!

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
