Try Queens - Kew Gardens and Forest Hills are great areas and much more affordable than Manhattan. Also decent commute via subway or LIRR. I don't know a lot of people who can afford NYC without roommates, tiny space, and 5 flights of stairs... Still best place ever though! Good luck 👍

Astoria! Great place to live (good food and beer gardens) and you can get a relatively big place that won’t kill your wallet. Very easy commute to manhattan. I loved living there because it’s still the city but a little less busy and I felt like I had some separation from work. Best of luck to you!

Of course we are nice.... but here is some good advice. Do not admit to being Cowboys or Patriots fans, don't make eye contact with anyone on the subway, but most importantly do not under any circumstances use a knife and fork to eat your pizza - we fold here! 😜😂👍 seriously don't believe what you see in movies, there are a lot of great people here, we have Broadway, museums, every kind of food you can imagine and so much more! You're gonna love it! Totally not kidding about the pizza though..... fold!!!

You can find something more affordable in NJ or the other boroughs. Manhattan is unaffordable if you want to live alone or save money .

I was in Jersey City; Manhattan prices but larger homes. Jersey City is big and you can find homes with varying rents. West NY in NJ, Astoria, and Queens are pretty affordable but don't have the Manhattan vibe. Depends on whats important to you - rent expense vs savings..

Joined Cibersites India Bangalore in Jan 2021 which is now htc global. There was no CTC revision with March 2022 salary, and so far, no news of CTC revision. I know employees working for over 24 months with no CTC revision. My question is are the appraisal formalities mere formalities? I'm unhappy about the pay structure. For a 65k PM CTC, I hardly get 52k in hand. With rising inflation, and no salary revisions, it's just going to be difficult. Tenured employees, please advise. 😥
