Do you like DC or NYC more?

Your base is more than enough to live and enjoy nyc in some nice areas.

You might not get a totally new high rise with doorman in a 1-bedroom apartment in Tribeca, but you'll definitely enjoy a fairly good living situation and have enough discretionary income to enjoy much of what the city has to offer.

What role is it at the bank? Is it IB?

Gotcha. I would recommend NYC. The comp is solid enough for the city and the brand you get being their vs DC will likely set you up better for future exits

Feel like it's easier to exit NYC into DC later on if you want, probably harder the other way around

Posting here because I truly don't know what to do. Hired a moving company to move out of NYC. They turned out to be just the 'brokers' not the company who would actually do the moving services. Essentially both companies worked together to get as much money out of me as possible, and the pick-up experience was awful. It's now been 10 days and I still have no idea where my belongings are, and neither company will answer my calls, texts, emails, anything!! What can I do in this situation?
