>tfw company needs me to relocate to NYC from Miami by September

Is $110k a decent salary in NYC? Planning to live in Upper East Side. Not trying to spend more than $2.5k in rent. Also don't really party anymore. Hoping to date and settle down while I'm there. I'm turning 30 this year.

As someone that lived in nyc for 21 years and escaped. Don't. It's unaffordable to live there in this decade. The immigrants are more out of hand than in the 80s.the niggas have more horseballs than ever. The Italians were replaced by gays. 2500 for rent?! Not even on Staten Island 18 years ago buddy. You might afford a box with a communal bathroom. And I'm not shitting you. Everyone in ny gets old and dreams of moving to Florida. Don't do it backwards.

I dont know why you think you can afford UES on 2500, more than likely you are looking at an efficiency in Harlem or Washington Heights and you're too dumb to know the difference. You can afford to work in NYC on that salary if you commute from LI, CT, Upstate NY or soneplace like the Rockaways. You will not sniff a Manhattan apt. for that rent, you're either a retard or a troll. Also keep in mind nothing you see online is real, you will have to pay a RE agent 2 months rent fee to find you a roach infested shitbox in Queens at the end of the line above a rub'n'tug in Corona.

Document everything you can. Make sure to put it on your own computer, not company drives or cloud space. If they do fire you, you will be in a great position to collect unemployment from them.

When I lived in DC, I thought dating was retarded there. The women weren't even hot yet they had insane standards. Then I moved to Miami, where the women are bombshells but they are superficial af and will cheat on you with anything that moves. The women are also retarded. Hopefully dating in NYC will be better.

It's over OP. You have no idea.
You will likely end up with 3k minimum rent.
Every girl standards are the WORST in the world. The only convenience is tinder will give you access to the hottest rich 18-21yos who are still leashed in their apartments.
If you are going to do this do not come in expecting a normal life because you will be cancelled or sued by a girl.
Get a cheap apartment, stack crypto, live utterly frugally, don't spend your money on anything except falafel and mexican food trucks, make your own food, and ignore everyone. Don't listen to a fucking thing a faggot says. Heil Hitler and don't say a fucking word to anyone. You have no idea how psycho this place is. Just act in the shadows and stack savings before you can get out. The only reason to return is if you are mega wealthy. Do not try to emulate on 100k or you will end up gay.

Cost of living NYC is about 25% more than Miami according to a random website. So after three years of NYC costs your 8 months of extra salary will have been eaten up. If you want to work with them longer than 2 years bargain for a 25% raise not the 8 months.

I'm also open to moving to NYC because I will have been in Miami for three years by then. Opportunities for growth are limited here in Miami, the women are whores and mostly unmarriagable. Moving to NYC for a couple years will be good for my career trajectory.

Hey I lived in NYC for around 15 years. I think you can get by on $110 but it’ll be really really tight. So much of how to enjoy that city is in the nightlife and going to restaurants and stuff and that all gets really expensive really fast. You should be able to find a studio for $2.5k I think still, yea. Subway $132, anticipate $500 for groceries, another $200-300 for utilities so you are at like $3.5k/mo or $42k on basic needs. You’ll have around $75k post taxes.

I would anticipate another $1-1.5k/month on going out expenses, so let’s say another $20k to be safe.

That gives you around $13k cushion. Realistically you might wind up spending all that if you are doing stuff regularly, but the point being you’ll survive as a single guy.

For reference I left to have a family. I make $200k and now have 2 kids and there’s no fucking way I could survive in NYC off that.

Pay $4k for 690sqft in Upper east side. Have a doorman and my apt is nice - but it is bare minimum. NYC is awesome, but not a place for long term comfort. Grind it out and see if you can make some extra cash. Things to consider are cost of doing laundry if you dont have in unit etc. may be better off with a studio which would still be 3k for a nice one. Think about moving to Astoria, Queens instead - it’s much cheaper and still good neighborhood vibes - safe for most part and more locals and less yuppies. UES is yuppie central - luckily they’re the good yuppies who actually have jobs and work/ have family/old people - unlike Williamsburg Brooklyn with the insufferable hipsters. 110k is tight - might need a roommate. I live with my wife, and we are both higher income $150k+ for both of us. So 1bdrm living is comfortable for us

I can tell. You're not going to find what you're looking for moving from Miami to NYC. You're taking you and your problems with you. The cities are a nice place to stay lost in. If you were my friend, I'd tell you that you're making a mistake moving from one city to another, especially at the behest of a company offering you such a low salary. The women are not going to be any different. People are leaving NY state en masse after the covid bullshit. You're moving into a grinder. There are plenty of positions in larger towns and smaller cities that you can find a community to join. NYC and these mega cities where people go to get lost ain't it.

This job was one of the only ones that got back to me and it's in a field that is aligned with my desired career trajectory. The pay and experience gained, even if it's for 1-2 years makes it worth it.

Also, you're moving to the city at 30 from a southern state? Get ready for some culture shock and the sort of daily hassles you've never experienced before. That shit seems fun at 21, not so much at your age. You've already aged out of the "finding yourself" cohort, 30 year olds making 110 are the losers who haven't left yet and thats how you will be viewed. It is easy to get laid, but you won't make any friends, and unless youre in a high demand field I wouldnt count on getting a better job. Dont say you werent warned about making a huge mistake, plenty of good advice on this thread not based on internet searches.

>How can you tell, and what problems do I have?
Any young man that feels the need to ramble from Miami to NYC for no other reason than a simple change of scenery is rootless. This stems from a lack of a strong father figure. You have no template for that strong masculine kingly energy of lording over a plot of land, and so you wander from city to city seeking belonging. I don't say this to hurt you, I'm earnestly trying to give you my perspective. Men who are happy with their lives don't migrate far from their support network. If you have none, then moving to an entirely new city in the hopes of finding that missing piece is an understandable, albeit pointless endeavor. What you're looking for is support from a community and people you can trust. City denizens are the exact opposite of that. It's like looking for lunch at a mechanic shop.
