What is it like to live in NYC?

pretty cancerous, gay, crowded, expensive, people just here for work

This. It has its fun moments like when you're getting some hipster girl sliz but that's temporary and you just feel gross again the next day

It’s awesome if you’re career oriented and a social Chad. I wouldn’t recommended it if you’re autistic (99% of this board).

Doing hookers and drugs with dollar bills.

It's shit.

What part? It's a big city. The Village is nice, if you can tolerate gays. The upper west side is nice, if you don't need to park. Midtown is crowded and tourists. Some areas are shitholes.
My biggest complaint is that renting anything decent, or buying, requires dealing with a coop most of the time, and they're all smug, snotty cunts.

it's feel great to participate in the largest and most successful economic extraction game ever

>It’s awesome if you’re a corporate slave and a simp. I wouldn’t recommended it if you’re a free man (99% of this board).

Live in the FiDi, work on wallstreet. i walk to work. Its actually pretty cool, i consume hella adderal tho but the pay is godly. Planning to move back home to florida tho once i have a net worth of about 5mil.

If you have to pick between New York and San Francisco to make it which one would you pick?
Personally I'd pick San Francisco.

Lots of fags, liberals, feminists, jews, blacks, mexicans, and muslims. Almost no white people. The cost of living is more than 10x what it costs to live in middle america, and you should expect to spend $4000/month minimum on a small 1 bedroom apartment that has the bare minimum basic necessities (washer/dryer, central air, dishwasher) in a safe neighborhood. The subway is always crowded, full of bums, and smells like rotting flesh, but it's the only way to get around because the streets are always in gridlock. Even if you wanted a car you'd need to spend at least $500/month on a parking space and then pay $30 to park every time you want to go somewhere or circle the block 20 times until you find someone leaving their parking spot. The city itself smells like shit at all times because there are no dumpsters and trash is thrown on the sidewalk and sits there for hours/days before it's collected. It's one of the most disgusting cities in america, only second to san francisco. Pic related is what a typical street in new york looks like.

pretty boring at the moment

NYC is still an actual working city while San Francisco is the butt of all jokes from the right wing and a quiet embarrassment to the left wing.

San Fran isn't even bad, visited there as a leaf, went all around the city.
Toronto is a good 2nd for NYC tho

I've worked and lived in both. SF by a small margin

I don't care what idiots think.
Silicon valley is the richest biggest startup hub on the planet.

Okay that's cool. I guess I made the right choice. I'm one interview away from an internship in SF

in awe at the size of this lass.

Proof or larp.

I live in manhattan, I usually like it but it sucks right now

Congrats dont fuck it up. What industry

biomedical sciences.
I hope it works out.

it's fun in your twenties but I wouldn't like to be there now on my current income

I don't why you'd ever want to live in NYC. It doesn't even have the highest salaries of coastal cities. And its literally too big, you can't even learn the whole city that well if you live there. It will never feel like home compared to a smaller big city.

Social life and because it's so big there's a lot to explore. I was there for about a week last year and am still impressed by its public transportation system; 24 hours a day throughout the entire city.

Congrats on your move to SF. Are you going to buy a home or rent in the nation's most expensive housing market?

Housing is free and paid for as part of the deal.

Nice. Are they VC backed? What type of biomed

How is the social life any better than other big cities? And its too big you will never see the same person twice. And the public transportation takes forever to go anywhere. Even going through manhattan takes like over an hour.

NYC is like if you took any big city and just multiplied everything by 10. Its not better, its just more of the same.

Shithole now with less people, improving!

Yes they are.
Any tips on how to impress the CEO?

>there are no dumpsters and trash is thrown on the sidewalk
lmao is this a joke?

Not sure, my exp is from the VC side. Best advice I can give is to act like a normal adult and get your work done. Be respectful of people and interact with your coworkers. I'm amazed by some interns we get that dont put in any effort and are surprised when they dont get return offers.

nice

Oh the I suppose you can't answer if it's a good idea to show ambition and a desire to make money or if I should act like I love the science?

Only the big boys make it in this city. Big boys like me.

>And its too big you will never see the same person twice

Unless you get someone's number. If you don't get that far and you strike out with them then it's beneficial to start with a blank slate. In a small town everyone knows you and remembers your fuckups.

>And the public transportation takes forever to go anywhere
I didn't notice this but even if it was true it's on an entirely different dimension from places where there's no buses running at all after 6PM.

Shit if you want to be self sufficient but you aren't wealthy. You have to "share" any sort of creative/productive equipment or space, which means you have to suck up to the owner and appease the spiteful untalented squatters who enforce mediocrity as a culture. This isn't unique to NYC but it's very difficult and costly to rise above those circumstances in NYC.

cancer, avoid at all costs.

yes its very true...
Most apartments/buildings/businesses don't have the necessary recesses or room to accommodate an outside dumpster, barely any room for trash cans, which are non-existent anyway
The only dumpsters allowed are for renovations and they're expensive and permitted...they also fine you if you are seen by police or security throwing personal trash into them, even a fucking empty water bottle or cigarette pack...the city is crazy like that

Germanfag here, I visited the US for the first time in my life last December. Been to SF and NYC. I loved NYC way more. But that's just a dumb tourist babbling

I'd rather kill myself.

growing up in NYC or any of the boroughs is the best life a kid can ask for. Being an adult in NY is the absolute worse, unless you're making 6 figs

Yeah not sure about that aspect. That's a good question, I'd be interested to know the answer as well. My impression from the VC side is that the partners (of biotech VC funds) are very scientifically oriented and educated, but at the end of the day they're very calculated businessmen and that comes first. So I would maybe err on the side of business and ambition. Because your company has to deliver results to survive, very competitive industry

Alright! That's very valuable.

>be this dumb of a nogger

Under $100k --> miserable

Over $150k --> party time

It's only fun if you make $125k+ a year. Otherwise it's really boring because you can't afford to do anything. The only way people are able to bear living here is if they make a lot of money.

$4500 for a small room in a place that is dark and cold for 5 months and melting hot and smells like pissvomit for 4 months. A truly magnificent place. You should move in immediately. We need 5 more million people there are still some trees left in the city. Fuck these green shits only blocking your path to and from work, where you will be all day long to pay for aforementioned.

The boomers who cornered the market on the board seats will be dead in a few years...or a few weeks at this point.

it’s fun when you’re black or hispanic

Overrun by shitskins and bluechecks, niggers and other wastes of existence. People are constantly rude. Superficial. Perpetual stink of trash as garbage literally sits on the street corners. High risk of getting mugged in most areas. Insane cost of living. Nanny state government that tries to control every aspect of your life. Worst shithole I've ever lived in, and I lived in DC too.

It's exhilarating, honestly. It's super unfortunate that all the living spaces in Manhattan fucking blow, it's all pre-War shit that hasn't seen a reno since the 60s, 70s era apartment tenements, or nu-modern glass bullshit.

Upper West Side probably has the best street parking in all of Manhattan

Are the blue lights intentionally blue, or are they just 'white' LEDs?

Boomers with rent controlled apartments might die, so maybe a good place to move in a couple years depending on how this pans out.

Could the virus be controlled by September in big cities in USA?

You can't control a virus. But the peak will be in April for almost all of America, so by September a lockdown won't be needed

This shit is going to escalate and not be abated until 3rd week of august at a minimum. That’s best case scenario.

Could I travel to america in August?

Dammit

frustrating, stressful, cramped, smelly, expensive, but with a great energy

It's fun. Always stuff happening, if you know where to look. Gallery openings, new restaurants, shows and workshops.
Also really easy to meet new people and make friends. Not necessarily good or long lasting friends but meet people nonetheless

>Midtown is crowded and tourists
I work in the garment district and I can't fuckin stand it.
The tourist triangle between port authority, Time Square and Penn is nightmarish

NYC
SF has the issue of wonky topography for me, and the food isn't that good.
NYC has a lot of different types of neighborhoods so it can be easier to find an area that fits your preference more easily.
