You can live fairly inexpensively in the outer boroughs of NYC. If I didn't work biglaw hours and have biglaw stress, I wouldn't mind a long commute.

$250K in NYC. But $300K+ with equity. So excited to be starting cus folks I know at the company confirm it is WAY better than biglaw and more 9-6 with some night and weekend fire drills normal for a fast-growing tech company.✌🏼

How long is too long to try to push back a start date? Getting a formal offer early next week but trying to keep that big law bonus if possible. Firm pays out bonuses Dec 30 & I have a vacation scheduled Dec 19-23 (and was planning on working remotely the week after too). Ideally want to get EOY bonus or negotiate for a signing bonus but is it too much to push for signing bonus and those weeks off? I'm open to working remotely those two weeks but know that may not be the best when I start.
