Best way to go about finding a job in NYC without living there?

[-SD-]

I will be graduating may 08 masters accounting and want to move to NYC. Obviously I will need a job and want to know the best way to go about getting a job there before signing a lease or anything like that. Should I just get some money together and move there and get a job before the cash runs out or is there another way to successfully get to NYC ?

well if you do that, best bring a lot of cash....i would start sending out resumes a few months before you graduate, and start looking for apts once you have an offer...that can be a bitch....you'll probably need to pay someone if you're looking in Manhattan, and you'll have to act quickly.

for affordability purposes i will be looking at queens (astoria) or brooklyn, both near subways accessing manhattan. probably going to have to do the roomate thing temporarily then sign for an apt somewhere.

brooklyn is getting pricey....the roomate thing is smart....a lot of people do it

NY is very expensive to live in bro.

save ALOT of cash. i'm talking 4-5 months of bills (in NYC)

the rental requirements are fuckin retarded. they want you making like 10x worth your living expenses..so you may even need a co signer

find a headhunter, or search online for jobs. do your homework.

maybe visit out there to hit up a bunch of interviews.

lots of opportunity in new york but you gotta bust your ass and make connections.

even queens and brooklyn are expensive, especially compared to TX.

roomate thing is the way to go. In manhattan can get a mediocre 2 bedroom for $1500 a person. not *that* bad

and yes, best american city hands down. fuck, i need to get back there

I actually found a forum www.wirednewyork.com and there is a ton of good info about moving to nyc. Based on that info i should be able to get a roomate for 8-900$ a month rent in queens or bklyn relatively easily. I wll be going there for a week either during december or march (spring break) for soley business purposes (jobs, housing, etc.) should be able to secure a dcecent job with a masters in accounting in a short time.
