My work is near Bryant park. Will need to go 1x a week. Don’t mind going in more often if its close, prefer to walk. Where should I live?

Hell’s Kitchen. People hate but it’s awesome

likehelpful

If you only go in once a week, try Upper East Side, Astoria or even LIC. Your budget will get you so much more space and easy easy commute into Grand Central

LIC is not LES / LIC might actually have better bang for buck!

Live where you want/can. Don’t base it on a 1x a week commute.

What is you switch jobs, will you move to be close to that location?

Walking distance close? Or short subway ride close?

like

Yeah that budget is kind of impossible for walking distance. Maybe Murray Hill. Someone mentioned Hell’s Kitchen (which could be a 20-25 walk depending on where).

But there are so many subway lines that stop there. So you have lots of options for an easy commute.

likehelpful

Hell’s Kitchen is definitely your best option, but you also might get lucky and find something in Kips Bay or Turtle Bay if you keep a close watch on listings.

If you're only going in once a week, you can pretty much live anywhere. NJ, CT. You could even live in Boston or Philly if you want

I'm working in a company that I like, but I'm been quite underpaid. We recruited a new recruiter with a salary 25% more than the one I'm in. I've been approached by other companies, but I wouldn't like to leave, the only reason I would consider moving to a new job is the salary. Should I be open and discuss it with my LM? The formal salary review process is approaching in 2 months, but no way I could get a good salary increase in the formal process, I believe the max could be 6%-7%.

Was talking to a recruiter today and when she asked about my desired compensation I told her a minimum of $80k since it is already below the average for a Financial Analyst in nyc. Recruiter then asks me why do I think I deserve that amount. I was taken aback because I thought that is very fair for someone with experience in the field already and have a few years of relevant experience as well. Am I tripping or was that condescending? She then tries to low-ball me to $70k 😐.
