Is New York even worth it for advertising? I just looked for apartments and almost spit out my water on the prices for such bad quality.

Just look at it this way: the “amenities” of your crappy apartment include The Met, Moma, Guggenheim, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge... and the most diverse population in the country. It will make you a stronger person in every way

The opportunity & experiences here are incredible. The quality of life isn’t the greatest. You’ll have to make sacrifices to make it work (live with a bunch of roommates or live far away from the city).

It's the golden ticket when it comes to an Advertising career. If you can hack it here, so can then go anywhere and not only get hired quickly, but also kill it because VERY few other cities have the creative teeth NYC will help you sharpen.

Hahaha thank you everyone I’m taking the advise wisely. Does anyone know of good locations that might be affordable ?

I lived in both the Bronx and Jersey to save money and i have to say that jersey is the way to go. The cost of living is lower and the commuting time is lower depending on where you live. Look in Passaic County. My commute is 35 mins door to door.

New York is always worth it. It’s your mindset that makes all the difference. Know what you’re willing to live with and without before you commit though.
