Did I Make a Mistake Taking a Job in NYC?

I recently accepted a lateral to an EB in NY from a reputable shop in the Midwest where COVID was not as big of a problem. Thought it was a good career move but seeing a lot of posts about the state of NY and wondering if the switch is actually worth it. Don’t need to move for awhile given WFH but those who are out there can probably speak better to it.

 

There isn't a doubt in my mind that new york will come back. The only people permanently leaving are ones who were probably going to leave soon anyways. Going into work will always prove to be more beneficial than working from home so companies will eventually require people to at least come into the office a few days a week.

 

Once a vaccine hits the market NYC will bounce back rapidily

 

Not to be a pain, but how did you come across the lateral opportunity/secure it?
