Lots of young people move to NYC thinking that it is like Friends, Sex in the City, Seinfeld, etc. but quickly realize it's not all that it's hyped up to be. They rush to move to NYC just because their friends are or everyone else is doing it. If you can afford to live in NYC as a young person, you probably work in an industry that is notorious for long working hours (banking, law, etc.), so it's not as if you would be able to spend that much time with your friends anyways. That, plus the always-looking-for-someone-better mentality is why dating/relationships are hard in NYC and people become jaded. A lot of people with warped values. Not saying that NYC isn't filled with opportunities, but people should first get their head out of the sand and think about what they really want to accomplish in NYC before committing 25 - 30k on a 1 year lease, while also having to pay back student loans.
NYC is not for everyone. If it is, the points in the video make sense to you. Why are long hours the evil? Is it not evil to not be able to support your relationships, the ones that you have so much time for?
@@whenryhuang there is nothing inherently wrong with long hours. But there is something wrong with you if you are putting in long hours for something you don't value, because everyone else is doing it, or if it is impacting relationships you value. A lot of relationships in NYC fail because 1 person in banking, law, etc. is always working late and something always comes up. And it's not evil to not be able to support a lifestyle. That's called circumstance. If your friends are not willing to accommodate you at your lowest, you need to find new friends. The best things in life come free of charge.
@@willw1561 I think we are in agreement more than you think. The point that needs to be made is that too many people criticize long hours without knowing people’s situation. Too much over generalization.
Office view insane
Should’ve passed the interview smh
