I’ve realized that quite a few people don’t really know what “the story” is with my potential move. I know I allude to it a lot, but I don’t think I’ve really explained it.
So here’s the story.
As part of my midlife crisis, I kind of want a change in scenery. The only other city I’ve been to that I can see myself living in is New York Plus, I have an “instant network” there. My plan (which still exists) is to visit NYC once a month or so and really try to feel out how comfortable I am there. My next visit is the end of Feb.
The move is very dependent on work. I will only go if I can remain a JPMC employee – either finding a position in our New York offices, or do a remote position. I can’t switch positions until I’ve been in this one for a year, so the very very earliest this would happen would be October of this year. And everything is in such a state of flux with the merger that I can’t even begin to figure out what kind of positions will be available at the end of the year.
There are still a lot of things to be figured out. I do know that from what I’ve seen, that I like Brooklyn a lot. In theory, I should investigate other areas further, but part of me doesn’t want to.
So now you know. Questions?
