I disagree with fifth comment, because certain large cap spending items are even more expensive than Brooklyn,such as cars, fuel, international travel, all electronics (check iPhone prices, the new bigmac index) When moving from New York, you should feel the upgrade so keeping same income level will make you feel way better.

I worked for one the largest global companies at both local and remote roles, but they localize pay regardless of you are remote or local resource - you get local pay as long as your your home address is Istanbul. On this regard, smaller companies could be more flexible

Time of our lives(my wife and I) I am in high tech - so work wise not stellar but culture, restaurants, entertainment is great / colorful people around...You need to choose neighborhood well, my advice for American friends is , if you like New York then you will like Istanbul- If you can manage to keep your Brooklyn income I strongly suggest giving Istanbul a chance// and if you are not married (I have been told : ) it is even better

I have been living in Istanbul for the last 5 years (moved from US) and I have seen most of the other cities mentioned...No other city has as many cats as İstanbul - I have seen cats at bank HQs, at large corp office buildings, sleeping on subway turnstiles,at museums, at stadiums - anywhere you were not expecting them to be ,surely a delight for cat lovers. The reason there are more cats is not religion, Turks are cat friendly, nobody bothers cats and most importantly all cats are fed. Adding no neutering/ spaying completes the madness in cat population

In many countries donkeys are not allowed to work more than 6 hours a day by law. In Palastine this still exists. Or in England : ) . -- https://www.blackberrydonkeys.com/donkey-riding-rules-regula...

Compared with donkeys, we are not doing well- I am researching mules.

I found this post biased against javascript... good one though..

For the record according to this link, https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/ AWS operates in 18 geographies (called) regions... These are not data centers. There are 55 availability zones (AZs) at AWS regions, and each AZ has at least 1 data center..12 more AZs at 4 more regions are also announced

Breakfast is not a new thing, or it has anything to do with cereal or milk or donuts.. Just google image search Turkish Breakfast...

In 1995, everybody believed in this myth. I was actually using an editor call HotDog from Sausage Software. More editors: http://literacynet.org/modules/softwarereview.html

So this thing runs in space? They went to space with this?

Tech community's in person participation to Istanbul anti government resistance movement was yet another sign of the apolitical activists ( BTW diren means resist in Turkish)
