I have spent the summer in NYC with my sister & her family. At first I was like "Eww" but now I'm warming up to the idea of moving here.
The Pros: My depression gets so much better when I'm around family. It's a "fresh start" after a really hard year. I can help my sister out with her baby. It's a lot of stress and I want to support her as much as I can.
It will also get me closer to fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a fancy old lady
The cons are that it's a very expensive lifestyle. I will just barely be able to live comfortably in Manhattan. Lots of places do not accept dogs for some reason (?) Lots of Libs (so same as Chicago) and apparently men punch women on the subways.
Should FroCho bite the bullet and move:

I'd say go for it, but get a better job and date finance bros to offset the cost of living.

Tbf you can do that in Chicago as well. I get just as many recruiter emails from trading firms in Chicago as New York.
I'd never live in either, but if I had to choose I'd go to NYC.

Oh, but protip: the best finance guys are the ones who didn't set out to be in finance and lowkey hate themselves for selling their souls. Ask them about their abandoned stats PhD or their failed philosophy postdoc.
