Depends massively on your personal circumstances.

If you’re a single, young professional, interested in the finance industry and being in the largest, most dynamic hub for it in the world and wanting high intensity career growth in a high energy environment, it’s the right place to go and get the experience. West coast is better for other industries and a different experience.

If you have visa/ability to work in the US, with the current economy and political environment killing most immigration opportunities to the US I think you’d be an idiot to not at least try a few years there.

Move. Doesn't depend on anything. Just move.

Work culture and WLB is the same as before. The PTO is the same (our UK PTO is on the lower side ~24 days for the market) but I have more public holidays in the US.

Depends on the package. Pay needs to substantially higher to cope with the CoL in NYC

I made the move internally and get paid ~40% more but due to lower taxes take home ~70% more. Only rent and groceries are more expensive, everything else is cheaper (childcare, transport etc.). You do get better value for money on rent, not so much on groceries though.

Situation: got an offer from firm X; highly likely to get a better offer from firm Y but official offer would take a couple of more weeks in best case scenario. However, firm X’s offer validity about to run out. Would you: (1) accept X’s offer now but rescind later if Y converts (2) ask X for additional time to decide (they’re “prestigious” and may not offer additional time...) (3) Play straight, decline X and hope Y converts (4) any other creative ideas ...???
