[QUOTE="Andy Nguyen, post: 274648, member: 1"] [USER=36138]@MLV[/USER] Great post. Nice to see posts from a seasoned ex-MFE professional here. I share similar experience. Lived in NYC for almost 20 years, with last 2 years in Forest Hills before moving out of the big Apple. I live in Katy, TX for a few years now. Hello from another NY transplant living in Houston. NYC was great. It was the best experience throughout my undergrad, MFE, Wall Street years. I did a lot of socializing, networking with coworkers, classmates and the subway makes it extremely convenient. Meeting someone is a breeze and the restaurant scene is amazing. Once I started working and having a family, NYC is pretty cramped. Finding a street parking is a nightmare unless you pay $200/month for an indoor parking spot. 1BR rental is 2K/month back in those days. I'm fortunate that I can work anywhere and have been doing that for 10 years. In hindsight, I should have moved out of NYC earlier but things happened for a reason. Agree, work life balance is much better elsewhere. House is way bigger here as they say everything is bigger in Texas. Public school is pretty good in the suburb. The weather sucks and there's not much to do here. [/QUOTE]
