Moving from Dallas to NYC. Thoughts on keeping my car? Most people I know at the office use public transit. My plan is to get a bike as a backup. Am I missing something?

I wouldn’t keep a car if you’re in manhattan.

Dont mess with a car. Especially if you're in Manhattan. Parking can be a pain and expensive. Subway is fine. Citibikes come in handy as well.

What kind of car? Parking is going to be a hassle but you can make it work. We pay $$$/mo for monthly parking a few blocks away from our place in Brooklyn, and only take the car out when we go visit family on Long Island or for road trips.

I’m a New Yorker. Don’t use a car just be near a train, it’s super reliable and 24/7. People give it shit all the time including me but it’s really good transit. I’d sell the car if you can honestly

Ditch the car and get a rental as needed.

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
