Prospect Heights. Close to Atlantic Terminal to get you to JFK quickly, and runs along A train. Not a tough drive either. (LGA is fucked even if you live in Queens).

20 min into Manhattan also

Agreed, the Crown Heights area I suggested before is on the cusp of Prospect Heights. Great neighborhood.

Avoid Williamsburg - the L line is always a mess.

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
