Hi. My wife and I are moving to New York City. I got a job in the Wall Street. My wife and I can't choose Manhattan or Brooklyn. Manhattan is more expensive, but convenient. Brooklyn looks like a better social scene. I will make 400k a year and my wife about 150k. We are both 24.
Obviously fake. No one makes $400k at age 24 on Wall Street, not even children of extreme privilege (who are certainly not married at 24!). Those are the paying-your-dues years.
Brooklyn. Any day in my book. Manhattan is second.
Brooklyn is great, but for a fictional job on Wall Street you can't beat the convenience of Manhattan. Even if you live in Brooklyn Heights, you still have to deal with the subway. In the OP's fakey scenario, I'd get a place at the Seaport and walk to work--just no first floor apartments.
