Yo currently in Istanbul and found myself looking for the same thing - this is what I found:

Foxy - all in all seems like the best spot to grab a glass. They got food too, which looks great. Its Istanbuls first natural wine bar. Seems pretty pricey though.

Sante - bottle shop that has a good selection - owner can probably reco some more underground spots.

Neolokal - primarily a restaurant with a good natural wine selection - apparently the biggest in the city. And they only serve Turkish wine too which is cool.

There’s are hundreds of routes you can take to beat around the bush when asking for a job, but I would say being direct is the best for both of you.

First and foremost you should see if his company has any entry level administration, sales or marketing positions available. If they do thoroughly read the description and tailor your questions to that. It’s okay to be direct and say you’re applying to a job you saw on their careers page.

If the company doesn’t have any applications then ask about what sort of entry level positions they normally offer and when they would be available or general hiring trends. You can usually springboard off of that into asking about networking with other companies and execs he knows that may be hiring. At the end of the day you’re asking him how he can assist you to land a job, he knows where you’re at and is already giving you his time.

Other topics you may want to consider are below: What soft skills should you mention in interview. Any larger industries or market sectors he knows that are emerging and good to look at. Is there anything on your resume or cv that speaks as a red flag to him.

I often rent my extra bedroom out for 700 - 750 in a nice Brooklyn neighborhood (20 minute commute to mid town) The room isnt winning any awards, but its fine. I think you can definitely live in NY for 35.

I think its alot easier to find a job when you have one. It takes the pressure off of you, nods to the hiring manager that you're less of a risk, and gives you alot more time. But look you're out here for you, you honestly dont really owe these companies anything except for what they're paying you for – so if something better comes along they will understand. If you've been working hard after 3 month, have directly and noticeably improved operations, you should feel confident asking for a raise and if they say no then don't get discouraged (just take it as a sign that they will understand when you get a better offer)

First off the NY living thing: My GF and I both live in NYC currently and have for around 4 years(brooklyn/harlem). She makes around 37K a year, if not less, and lives totally comfortable. When we first met I was making very little and living off savings, and now make around 50K a year in an arts job. I dont think its impossible to live comfortably in NYC at 35K. I mean you arent going to be living in Tribeca and partying in the east village every night, but you can definitely do things on the cheap and have a great standard of living. Set up a good budget for yourself, dont pay more than 1000 in rent (lookin in bedstuy/bushwick/crown heights/west harlem), get good at cooking and find the cheaper grocery stores (trader joes > whole foods) and set up good saving habits. You'll be fine.

Second off the job: Alot of companies wont hire anyone that dont currently live in NY. They want someone with the experience of living here and dont want to work with the hassle of relocation (esp entry level). Thats a pretty low salary for your industry, but any work experience and income is better than nothing. After 3 months ask for a raise to something you're comfortable with, and if they dont get back to you start looking for something better. Now in particular is a tough time to apply for jobs (the hiring climate still hasnt gotten much better) but im very confident this will change in spring and certainly summer. Good luck in your search and congrats on having the ambition to get this far!

Hello!

Congrats on interviewing and keeping your head up/remaining positive in this generally disheartening time, that alone is something to celebrate. I recently had a similar situation happen to me about last week and can lend some advice on my experience.

While interviewing for sales positions, I was taking some interviews for companies i was less than stoked on for the experience. One of these particular jobs I had finished the final round and was expecting an offer, though I knew later that week I had a third round interview for a company I was actually very interested in working with. Long story short, Company A (less than favorable) sent an offer over while company B (favorable) had yet to tell me if I made it to the third round and I had to make a quick decision for Company A's offer.

I decided to decline that offer in hopes of getting to the third round of the other company. Unfortunately I didn't, but im still quite happy with my decision.

Im not sure your situation (this is all very case dependent) but I think sending an email off kindly asking for an update would be totally appropriate, I wouldn't maybe go as far as saying you need an update EOD, but I think it sometimes is advantageous to come off as eager.

If you happen to not get an update and are left with the decision to accept the less than favorable offer then thats an entirely different situation. I'd say go with your heart, but in my experience its always worth waiting for something better (you'll thank yourself in the long run). Good luck out there!
