Thinking of moving family to the Big Apple. What's a good base salary for an ACD level in NY? I'm sure rent/house payment and schools will kill most of the funds, but need an idea for reference.🖖

You need to live in a good district for your kid, so you're talking $4-5kmo for a 2 bedroom. To buy it's hard to find anything under a million.

Freelance is pretty dry for acd level honestly. You'll range between 130-165, lower on that scale if you're a woman tbh. Expect to pay 2200+for a 1 bedroom in the city.

You can push to $170k without blinking (some may make more but that's often a ceiling for us with ACDs). Freelance is a great option too if your wife/husband/partner has benefits.

SDA1, what are you talking about?

OP, what you should know about as I see people from NYC using that in comments already is that "the city" is Manhattan and that's how everyone refers to it. If you don't live in the city, you're in one of the other 4 boroughs which you call by their names.
I'd say $170 is pretty high, wouldn't put my hopes on that. 130-150 range, depending on shop, your experience/skills, etc.

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

So I recently accepted a 12 month contract-hire position at a much larger company. Pay is more than 50% of my salary, and benefits/401k is covered by the recruiting agency. I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself. Thoughts? Advice?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
