I moved to NYC 3 years ago with no job and have managed to make it through freelancing, contract and regular part time work, but it has certainly been harder than I thought it would to find full time work.
The city is expensive and there is a lot of competition from recent graduates as well as talented people attracted to the magnetic island at the center of the world.
It does feel like a constant race, but the city is full of art and inspiration and I have learned and grown a lot here and recommend coming for the experience, even if you decide to leave afterwards.
