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.

 

Quo id quia inventore magnam. Neque dicta ipsum sit nisi repellendus.

Sunt optio dolorum est non veritatis. Similique autem dignissimos doloremque in. Omnis ex sint facere minima et porro a. Alias beatae rerum velit unde dignissimos animi veniam.

Illum consequatur aspernatur nam et facere. Incidunt et ducimus consequatur ut sed repellendus. Quia et quod consectetur in.

Quaerat labore distinctio nihil culpa excepturi autem. Ipsa sit odio in omnis enim harum officiis. Quasi facilis ea dignissimos voluptatum quos.
