Hi all! I am former federal government. I resigned due to lack of opportunities and growth. I am interested in a couple of Apple service roles within Pay, Care and SDS. Also, Amazon PM roles under Music, Live Sports and Brand Protection. However, with to the current economic conditions is it smarter to focus on fed roles versus Tech. I’ve never had a Tech role. I have a BS Mechanical Engineering and MBA. Any advice would be appreciated.

I know ppl in midtown who have crappy studios in nice buildings pay 2500ish
For 2500 you should be able to get a pretty decent studio in midtown. Even in a nicer building.
No interest in BK. My parents are in the burbs and I'd do that and get a car before having a 40+ min commute.
Try Harlem
You can get a pretty nice studio for $2K if you move a little more north...
I lived on the UES/Yorkville for 5 years, mostly in a 1-bedroom 5th floor walk up. So not concerned about that. More concerned about what rates look like. When I left that apartment in 2012, it was going up to $2K (I had been there since bottom of the recession and paid a lot less) and my $1,100 studio (in 2006) in the same hood was already up to $1,600 in 2012....
Yea, so I don't think 2k is reasonable....good luck tho,OP!
Brooklyn ?
Yes it is possible, will be small though, walk up and no doorman. I have a small 1-BR in prime LES for $2100. Did have to pay a broker though
$2k is feasible, it'll be an old walk up tho
Yeah,$2k will be a shitty studio, unless you head uptown
How's Harlem looking these days? 125th was already yuppyville and expensive when I left. How are 135th and 145th looking?
Better than paying $5000 downtown
Far out parts of Brooklyn, sure
Thanks all! This has been helpful :-)
OP, just look at Streeteasy
This is a bad time to move to NYC. If you can, try after late October. Prices are going up now, especially in Manhattan. Also: streeteasy.com
Thanks S3!
Agree, moving in the fall/winter is cheapest.
