Kelsey, I have lived in nyc for years, tried other places, and decided I can live nowhere else. It’s not for everyone. But if you think it might be for you, it’s absolutely worth trying once in your life. Good luck!

The public transportation is less and less reliable the more people ride it. You'll spend and hour usually commuting to and from work. Salaried positions mean indentured servitude.

Don’t. If you do, don’t make it hard on yourself to leave. Pack lite. The market here sucks. There’s nothing wrong with coming here for a year to build your resume or portfolio and bounce.

Thanks for the hope OP ... San Francisco’s got a lot but cost of living makes it undesirable to me. I’m focusing on Florida. Yep, I said it. My family is there. (I’m in LA).

I'm aiming for cities where the cost of living is 15-30% less than New York.

London. Big city. Lower cost of living Less of a hassle. No Trump. And they speak English!
