Australian guy moving to NYC.
Hey guys, I'm a 23 year old guy living in Brisbane, Australia. I moved here from the UK with my parents when I was 13 and ever since I was young I have always wanted to experience living in New York. I have a law degree and have done my masters, and I think now I am ready for life in New York City. I think the best area for me is Brooklyn as it seems the most affordable, though I have read some negative comments so I'm quite puzzled as to if that would be a good choice. I will be working as a real estate attorney, so which areas give the best salary and the most reasonable rent. I have no idea how much I would spend on rent as I don't know where I will be working for the best salary, commute etc. I basically need to know:
Which areas are the best to work in.
Which areas/surrounding cities are best i.e for rent to match the average salary for the area I will be working in and safety etc.
Do New Yorkers tend to welcome British/Australian people.
And finally, I am only planning on living in New York for a year or two, as I love to travel and feel that I will regret it if I don't experience life in New York before I retire, so ideally I will be looking for a working vacation visa for 1-2 yrs which will allow me to live and work there without becoming a US resident. How long will this process take?
I know I have a lot to ask and sound quite stupid but I really have no idea where to start!
Thanks, Liam.
