We all know that living in NYC comes with a high cost of living, and sometimes the salaries just don’t seem to match up. I’m curious, what’s the worst salary you’ve ever heard of for a job in NYC? Whether it was a personal experience, something a friend went through, or just an outrageous job posting you came across, share your stories. It’s crazy to think about how some people manage to get by on these wages in such an expensive city.I’ll start: A friend of mine was offered an entry-level position at a non-profit in Manhattan for $20,000 a year. Considering rent, transportation, and basic living expenses, it just seemed impossible to make ends meet on that salary. What about you? What’s the lowest salary you’ve encountered, and how did that person (or you) manage? Let’s talk about it!
