250?! I'd need to take the subway to grand central and then metro north. Does that 250 include both?

@OP, if you are considering the reverse commute, move to midtown within walking distance of GCT or to Harlem for 125th. Do not, I repeat, do not get sucked into subway plus commuter rails because your soul will evaporate after about two months once you realize how much time you waste between the two as opposed to if you could cut out the subway.

Bout 250 for the metro north railroad. Know plenty of folks that rock it. I too take the mnr (the other way). Breakfast, read the news, could be worse

Move close to grand central. Then you only have to take one train.

It does not.

I lived on John St. Fulton to GCT then hop on Metro North wasn't too bad. Fulton was a good hub to go anywhere.

I live in westport, monthly is like $100

That certain hedge fund will probably call you an idiot to your face during the interview. Good luck!

Haha del1, what do u mean?

Bain ! I live on John st too! Which building?

Also bain1, how much did it all cost per month?

You probably aren't interviewing there then. Their management style is well known.

Why would they laugh? I don't get it

It's been almost 5 years since I had to do that so I don't remember / prices have probably changed. I used to live at 100 John St.

@EY1, there is absolutely no way your train pass costs $100 per month from Westport. I'm coming from Southport and it's $380 per month
