Searching for a roommate - My Ad

Is anyone moving to NYC by July 1st and looking for a roommate?

I know this is slightly out of topic for the 'ibanking' discussion but more people visit here than any other section of the site and I think craigslist is kinda sketch.

I'm from a non-target (TCU, TX) and not many people make it up to NY for their first jobs - so I don't know anyone from school to room with. I'm used to living with 3 guys. We all get along with each other, no problems. I'd like to have the same type of friendship with a NY roommate. My ideal roommate would be someone who is outgoing, down-to-earth, chill and gets along with everyone. Someone who likes to have a good time on the weekends but is dedicated to being a professional at work.

Send me a PM if your searching for a roommate too..

I'm planning on moving in by July 1st (possibly mid-June) but I could move in as early as mid-June.

Hi, I have a possible in at Kershner Trading Group in Austin TX. They supply you 100% of the capital you trade with but there is no salary. Its purely preformance based. Im fresh out of undergrad (finance and accounting major). Kershner trains you, mentors you, ect. It sounds like its around 3 months before your out of the training stage and off to make your own money.

FT Hire at BEAR starting in summer 08'

I have been hired and accepted a FT analyst position at Bear to start in the summer of 08'. I have been hired in the Controllers group. With the way things are looking with the $2 per share buyout by JPM it's uncertain that I will even have a job. I graduate in less than 2 months.

When is the best time to take the GED?

I am graduating from Undergrad school from a non target in May 2008. I have already receieved and accepted an offer from a BB in middle/back office position. I do not know if I want to go to gradschool eventually. It depends on how the 2 year analyst program goes. However, I do want to prepare myself for the possibility of going to get an MBA at a target school.

How hard is it to save, build wealth, pay all your bills, and live a decent life in NYC as an Analyst in BB firm but not in IBD? Will I be skrimping for money every paycheck?

I'm going to be in the 28% tax bracket + state + nyc tax, no car, decent apartment (want to live on the island), some school debt. How hard will it be to live?
