I got a remote L6 SWE offer at Google but the RSUs are too low for that level ($625k over 4 years), could not negotiate it higher. I’ve accepted the offer but trying to be hopeful that I could make it more equitable in the future if I perform well. Are stock refreshers based on the initial RSU grant or solely based on performance? Google

Congrats! Be prepared for insane rents 2nd only to SF. They’ll want 1st month’s rent, last month’s rent, security deposit (equal to another month’s rent) + a letter proving you’re employed.
You don’t need last Months rent in nyc. But prepare for broker fee
I did it last fall. If you can manage it, I recommend getting an AirBnB for a week or two. It’s so much easier to sign on an apartment in person. Everything that is available is off the market within 24-48 hrs.
Try and negotiate a higher relocation bonus. Moving expenses climb up quickly around here.

I’d wager that most of us advertising folks in NYC lived elsewhere, landed an offer, and then moved here. Anything specific you wanna know?
I did it before the pandemic and I think it’s easier now with everyone setup for remote work, you no longer have to travel to NYC for interviews or be here exactly for your start date. The moving part I think is harder now, because rents are more out of control than ever. I sublet a room in a place with roommates for a couple months because it’s easier to find an apartment when you’re already here, but I know folks who got relocation and that covered a broker to help find an apartment.
Yup! Prepandemic too. It’s a challenge because a lot of nyc agencies are looking for talent that’s already in a NY groove (and don’t want to pay relo) but it can definitely be done.
Isn’t the question simply, “Has anyone moved to NYC after landing a job?”

Think OP is asking how are the odds these days for landing an NYC job from outside NYC?
