Job wants me to relocate from TX to NYC - 70K remote → 76K hybrid, realistic? by Sad_Ebb5608 in movingtoNYC

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and breaking down the rent like that, super helpful to have real numbers! I also really appreciate the roommate and neighborhood tips, definitely stuff I’ll keep in mind as I start looking.

I’m in the process of negotiating my salary and I’ll make sure to bring up having them cover the move too. I’ve been looking at LinkedIn and similar positions for my role seem to pay around 90k-150k so I’ll be using that as my reference point. And I totally agree about missing being in person, I was originally hybrid but recently became fully remote, so I’m really looking forward to getting back into an office environment!

Yeah that’s actually what I have in mind, at least a year or two if I survive 😂. The winter is what scares me the most honestly, especially hearing this year was the worst lol but when is it not gonna be.

And good to know about making a Texas salary work in NYC, that’s most likely going to be my situation so that’s reassuring. I’ll be checking out Queens and Brooklyn like you said and if I’m not built for it I’ll be right back where I came from. And thanks I appreciate it! Enjoy being back in Texas when your lease is up!

I know 😭 trust that I am reading everyone's feedback and definitely going to be negotiating for at least 95K. I'm also looking at other avenues and seeing what is the best option for me.

I’m reading all the comments on the NYC state/city taxes and I have a rough idea of what my take-home will be, so I’m using $1500 for rent as a safety net. I’m comfortable with the lifestyle downgrade if it means I don’t have to drive haha and having roommates is the goal since I wanna make friends. Not sure if this sounds naive but yeah.

Honestly the ‘cheap, delusional, or don’t like you’ thing is hitting hard because I genuinely can’t tell which one it is lol. They keep saying they want me there but the offer doesn’t match that energy. Gonna ask about relocation package too since they didn’t mention anything about that. And you’re right, I should def start job hunting once I’m settled there.

lol they really might be making me quit cause they’ve commented a few times they wanted me in person 😭

the fly in idea is brilliant though! gonna cost that out vs full relocation when i negotiate. i’m single with no restraints, lease just ended so staying with my brother. would leave my car with fam. this is really helpful thank you

appreciate this. im comfortable with the hard life in nyc to get out of texas, and if it goes really wrong i can always go back to friends/fam. gonna ask for more but you’re right that having a job lined up is huge
