Hey guys,
I want to move to New York at some point in the next year or so. I would like to hear from members living in the New York area regarding employment opportunities and the best places to look for housing.
As far as employment goes, I don't have any degrees but I am very well versed in computers. I have a bit over a year working as a technical service rep for a large computer company that may or may not be the focus of this website. Along with the technical skill set I have over 3 years of managerial experience and close to 6 years of experience as a general contractor. I just want to know if there are a decent supply of jobs available to someone with those credentials.
When it comes to housing, I do not need anything fancy, just something relatively affordable and not in a really bad area. Preferred areas are Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan though I don't really expect to be able to afford Manhattan.
Thanks for any input guys!
