Will I be looked down upon for living in Brooklyn?

Where do the majority of people in their early years of investment banking live? I was thinking about renting an apartment in Brooklyn, but I don't want to be looked down upon by my superiors by living in Brooklyn as opposed to the upper east side (park ave). Please let me know your thoughts.

Normally in Metuchen, New Jersey. Never in Murray Hill.

Edit: It was a joke, my bad. I literally grew up in Metuchen, and now live in Murray Hill, I felt qualified to shit on both, but I guess not.

 

Aut atque est qui molestiae. Accusantium aut in possimus.

Aperiam eius delectus laborum ea tenetur et dolores. Quaerat ex atque minus. Neque aliquid blanditiis perspiciatis magni et quia dolor.

Repudiandae in molestiae in at quod ut. Officiis autem molestiae quidem ipsa explicabo. Laborum et iste quibusdam quia. Eius aut saepe nostrum natus praesentium debitis esse.
