Having lived in new york for about 6 years I would suggest that you live in manhattan and not LIC. I know a lot of people that lived outside of manhattan (roosevel island, hoboken, brooklyn) in their first years and they regretted traveling to get to the city. Especially those late nights...
I would definitely check out churrascaria plataforma. It's a great Brazillian BBQ place. The one in Tribeca looks a lot nicer than the one in midtown. I've had a couple of parties there. It is a blast.
Churrascaria
I commute from downtown Manhattan to NJ via Holland Tunnel probably about 3 times a week. There is minimal traffic since it is the reverse commute.
Take the 1/9 S to 78 but if you plan on going to Florham park you will always hit traffic on the 24. Have fun tomorrow.
I imagine the...
I made the transition from tech to finance with my MBA. It is fairly unique to the finance industry, but I experienced a 100%+ pay increase.
I would preface that getting into to a top program (top 20 or higher) is important to justify the cost and time of education. (Considering that...
New York. No other city like that if you are young and single and want to have a good time. Period. I've lived in SF , LA, and Boston. Nothing else compares. You gotta have money to play though.
If you plan on living in nyc - live in manhattan only. There is no substitute. Living in manhattan is once in a lifetime opportunitiy and don't let new jersey get in the way of that.
there are some hidden deals in craigslist, but I would check the hells kitchen area if you want to go on the...
To be honest I don't even think 41/hr is really all that much. I think if you work as an independent IT contractor in a field that needs people you can make up to 150 or even 200 dollars an hour.
I know people that do SAP and Siebel that make around 150/hr. It is not all that uncommon...
I'm looking to buy a camcorder for my vacation, but I wanted something small to bring with me. Does anyone know of a camcorder that uses SD cards versus the normal tape media or MiniDV. I don't really care about editing these videos as much.
I've seen the panasonic DV-AV1000 (?) and the...
I've tried them all. I travel about 200k miles a year on planes so I definitely get the mileage out of the headphones. If you plan on using it often then get the bose headsets. There really is nothing that comes close to it. They are comfortable and great on flights.
Good score, but i suggest trying to break the 700 barrier if you plan on going to a top 20 school. Your quant and verbal score should both be above 80%.
Good luck with your applications. Get your essays and recommendations done early.

Yes. The usual cut off is 2 weeks before the flight. I've seen flight prices jump from 300 to 1700 in a span of minutes when you cross the 2 week mark.
I've lived in los angeles, san francisco, boston, New york, and Philly. I would suggest picking up and moving somewhere else and try out the lifestyle. I feel it is one of the most amazine experience you will ever have. I wish I could live in another country , but that should wait until my...
I agree. I commute from NY to LA quite frequently. On many occasions I've had people talk on the phone the whole way back and it gets quite annoying. I just want to see their bill at the end of the flight.
In my honest opinion going to a better school will help you out no watter what industry you are in. Going to a better school will allow you more opportunities in the workplace and also networking.
People may disagree but if i were to choose someone that went to MIT/HARVARD/YALE rather than...
I have to agree with sleepmachine. The bose noise cancelling headsets have been wonderful. THis has been my third pair. I've used two other brands and bose beats them hands down.
I fly primarily United. I've flown continental and AA. I can't stand the planes on continental so I try to stick with united and I already have status with United.

They both have about the same name. It really is how well you can perform within the firm. If people there support you and you create quality work mba schools will like you.
yes you will be held liable. if you do rent from avis you will have to declare anyone else that will be driving your car.
I would get comprehensive and full liability insurance.
Does anyone know how to hook up some nice speakers to an IBM t42p laptop? I only see a headphone jack but no audio outs? Does anyone know if the laptop dock has audio out connectors?
After flying 500k miles in the last 4 years I have come up to this rule.
Aisle seats during day flights: allows me to go the restroom and I don't feel confined as much when there is someone sitting in the middle
Window seats during red eyes so when people go to the restroom you aren't...
There is a major at UCLA that is called Microbiology and Molecular genetics - Just one major!
I personally don't think dollar amount after college matters all too much. i think the 5 year or 10 year salary after college is what you have to gauge
Why pay for something when you can get it for free? I personally don't even care if they do target ads towards your e-mails. I'm not a privacy buff like most of my friends if it doesn't include my personal information (cc#, SS#, DOB,...).
***Edit***
Maybe because I've been using gmail to...
I have gmail and so far I'm pretty impressed with the features. It is pretty much on par with the other mail services in terms of free features. Best thing of all I don't get any spam in the mailbox yet.
