Would you guys move to New York if you were offered a job that pays over 150k? Thats double of what I'm making now, but my currently salary provides more than enough living in Arizona. Family and friends are here, but that's not a huge factor - they aren't going anywhere if I decided to come back. This company that recruited me is literally hiring people only from their 3 competitors, one of which I work at. They will provide relocation too. There is also a high chance they will have an IPO in 3-4 years. Would you make the move for that?

If you're willing to live cheaply, better to head to New York. It's probably far easier to achieve a greater absolute savings every year. And at the end of the day, New York dollars go the same distance as Arizona dollars- when you travel or buy a lot of standard expensive items (cars, laptops, etc.) the price is going to be basically the same no matter where you live.

Would you rather save 20% of your income in AZ or 20% of your income in NY? Think about how much further that NY money will go when you move

NYCfag here. $150,000 is like a 60K salary elsewhere. You will probably have a similar amount of disposable income.

I make $162k and I live in NYC. It's a good salary here even with the higher income tax and cost of living. $162k after taxes is about $106k/year and my rent is $1500 for a 1 bedroom in queens. I don't own a car and spend $1200/year in MTA fare but it's comes out of my paycheck pre-tax.

Where in Az do you live, what's your tax rate and living expense like? I knew someone that moved here from NV because he was earning more and used the extra money to pay off his house back in NV quicker and left once the mortgage was paid off.

Personally I would not. I've lived here for 23 years and am looking to leave. 150k sounds like a lot but it isn't too much. Of course you won't be poor, but you won't be rich enough to avoid the rabble and the low class of society. And theres plenty here. Pure hoodlums. Rent for a 1 bedroom in the city is minimum 2k unless it's in the hood. So after taxes, rent, food, I'd suspect you can pocket around 50k per year.

Remember you're on 4chan and most of the people replying are neet losers that live in ohio so their opinions don't matter. I live in manhattan and I love it. anything you could ever want to do is within 15 minutes at all times. great food. unlimited supply of women. you don't need a car so no traffic and no car/insurance payments. most importantly, you can advance your career 10x faster in NYC than you can in AZ. move here a couple years, get your salary up, then move somewhere cheaper.

I love NYC and think everyone should live there for at least 2-3 years in their life. However, it's not an easy city to live in financially long term (i.e. family and buying an apt) even at $150-200k.

You need to assess your current cost of living and your cost of living upon moving and decide if it's a net positive or negative for your quality of life.

$150k in NYC if you're single is more than enough to have a lot of fun, I can tell you that for sure.

With city and state taxes your take home will get neutered. You'll make like 60% of the $150k so let's say $90k. You can get a nice 1br apartment in a good neighborhood for ~$3k/mo and then have like $50k left for living expenses. Let's say $500/mo on groceries, $300/mo on travel (Subway and cabs). Then let's pad that and make it a cool $1k for $12k a year. That's $38k net. You could spend $1,000/mo just having fun (which is WAY more than you'll need) and still save $26k/year.

If I was single and never lived in NYC before I'd take this opportunity and make the most of it. Don't live too frugally.

You need to be worth at least $5 million to even live a middle class lifestyle in NYC. I'm not even exaggerating, with a $150k salary you'll live in a tiny studio apartment without air conditioning or a washer/dryer in a shitty neighborhood. A decent apartment equivalent to a middle class house anywhere else in America will cost you at least $2 million or $5k/month in rent.

Yeah, no shit you can get more for less in bumfuck Iowa. Nobody wants to live there. It's dried up. The demand is dead. There's no jobs, no upward mobility, no financial security. Cities offer the best opportunity for maximum personal achievement, innovation, and creativity. It's why companies and even people pay up the ass to work and live in a crammed space 30 stories above Manhattan. It's not a watered down, pristine caricature of pussified suburban sterile shit. There's shit to do. Stuff to see. People don't live there to jerk other contrarians off on Laotian flare gun forums and get a thrill off denigrating minorities.

Get fucked faggots, most of the naysayers were probably ousted from Manhattan two months after they set foot on the island because they didn't have the work ethic and personal ingenuity to compete against the others. You're here on 4chan trying to punch up at NYC because YOU LOST.

This is retarded. My mom makes around 100k as a single woman and owns a large apartment in a white neighborhood that's probably like $350k. I could buy a decent 1 bedroom apartment for like $150k. Monthly maintainance needs to get added on to those prices though. That said, I would recommend any couples in the area to be making $75k+ each before having a chikd here. NYC exists outside of the East Village and Williamsburg.

Why the fuck would anyone want to live outside of Manhattan? Might as well go to Jersey then, it's a lot cheaper there and you can still find some places that are majority white.

Also those figures are made up because even in Brooklyn, which is 35% white, the median home price is $800k. Even in the fucking Bronx it's $400k.

You might be making good money, but remember you'll have to deal with all the faggots that come with living in a large city. Most of the fags are transplants as well, never born in NYC but act like they're better than everyone because loaded up their gay Honda Civic with 5 sweaters and their Xbox to move to NYC. This thread is a solid reminder of that. You have cucks in here smelling their own farts and acting high and mighty for making $100k, despite 10% of the US population making that. Don't forget that you'll have to deal with 3rd world savages out the ass, and all of the White liberal enablers who treat the savages like their good little pets. Maybe when NYC was 90%+ White it was a good place to live, but not so much now. You'll be moving into a place that is a shell of its former self, and still kicking simply because the financialization of the US economy in the 2000s, especially after 2008, resulted in a massive injection of cash into Wall Street, which then flooded into other sectors of NYC.

The people who have the least to do with NYC culture and the overall development/maintenance of the city are the loudest, mouthiest ones. Again, this thread proves what kind of insufferable cunts these not-even-born-in-NYC fags are like.

Here's a different take: If you can afford to survive in New York, you have more opportunity to network with the richest people in the world, whereas in Arizona you won't have that opportunity. For whatever reason there are places in the world where more money is made than others, so maybe some of it will rub off on you.
