NYC: Where to live as an analyst

Title says it all. Currently an incoming full-time analyst at a BB located in Midtown Manhattan. Wondering where I should start looking for apartments.

Can expect to work 60-70 hours each week so would prefer to keep my commute time relatively low and doable ideally without spending top dollar to live in Manhattan. Obviously I know you can't have the best of both worlds since everything's priced in pretty much but curious to hear what the consensus is for this decision.

Where does everyone live at? Manhattan? Brooklyn? Queens? State Island? Hoboken?
