Starting a full time job in IBD in Jersey City?
I just received a FT offer in the IBD of a bank. Great culture and team based on the people I met in my interview process, and base salary should be street level with manageable hours
One downside is that the office is based in Jersey City so I’m thinking it could be kind of far to commute to the office from NYC. Has anyone commuted from NYC to Jersey City?
I could also rent a studio in Jersey City or Hoboken when I start.
Any thoughts?
Which IB is based in Jersey city?
Congrats on the new job
Is your new group possibly a function that supports ibd? I have not come across any major IB groups that are based in Jersey city
The path train goes from NYC to Jersey City & Hoboken I'd use that for commuting but depends on where in Jersey City your office is. And look into where it picks you up and which station is closest to you.
Agree with above, be careful. "Investment banking operations" or something of that type is not IB and will have very limited exit opportunities. Don't know of any investment banks in JC.
That said you should definitely live in NJ, at least for the first year and then decide if you want to live in Manhattan (/ get a job there). Take the train over to go out / on weekends, but you'll pay at least 30% more in rent + an additional 5-6% of income tax right off the top just to live in NYC. Waste of money when the train is so quick.
Interested to hear what IB is in jersey city
