what do you mean? You don't like paying $3000 to live in a cupboard?

Yeahh I love New York but I couldn't justify living there, so I'm happy enough taking a trip there when I get the chance to see my friends and hit up my favorite spots

Well, everyone and their mother wants to live in NY and there's only so much space to go around so this is kind of just what happens

Probably, if money is an issue for you it's hard to justify living in NYC. it's not going to get any cheaper I can tell you that much

I am looking for a new job but keep striking out. I would consider my resume very good and I work for a big name firm currently, but I don’t have many connections in my area which I have relied on in the past for job opportunities. Is it tacky to message people I don’t know on LinkedIn? It only works occasionally but I am getting frustrated with this process. Advice?
