Where’s the best place to live in the city if you work in Turtle Bay/ Midtown East? (Forgive me, not from here so I don’t even know if those are the neighborhood names)

There’s not much in midtown east so don’t live there, even though it might be convenient to get to work.

Either live on the upper east side (more residential) or lower east side/east village (more party) and take the 6 to work

or live around Hudson Yards (not much around there either but you can get a good deal right now) and take the 7 to work

or live in LIC and take the E to work

I mean... I work in midtown east and live in turtle bay 👀 the sleep I save by walking to work and not dealing with subways is worth every penny and I'm right near gc and the highway so it's a quick train or Uber to wherever people are trying to go on the weekends

Midtown east is a nice place to live. Less stuffy than UES and easier to get to lower Manhattan. A lot of older people who have been in NYC for a long time / still has a neighborhood feel during COVID.

Does really Collaboration work or it's just a myth. Always hearing from Offshore manager is that take more ownership like from offshore we should be working 80% and only 20% will leave for onshore because of time difference..

Is it really a collaboration or simply a cold War between offshore and onshore ownership..

When they say utilization doesn't count for the month of May/June what exactly does that entail? I'm assuming being on the bench for those months will still show on personal utilization reports...
