I’m a 30 year old Canadian who has been living in Toronto for about 8 years. I have a good six-figure career in financial services here. I have the opportunity to take a similar position for the same company in New York, specifically Manhattan. I would make a bit more in Manhattan, and 30%+ more when you factor in the currency conversion. Obviously rent and other expenses are higher in Manhattan.
Has anybody lived in both cities? What did you like and dislike? Any advice as I make the tough decision on whether to move or not?
Manhattan seems exciting but I don’t know anybody there and have an established life in Toronto. Anybody else move to Manhattan in a similar situation and how did it go?
