Both are extremely expensive cities. SF is more environmentally friendly than NYC. NYC has better public transportation. SF has nicer weather longer. NYC has better restaurants, night life and culture IMO. I lived in NYC for 3 years and now I live outside of the SF bay. I miss NYC like crazy. I think NYC is more romantic and more of what I picture a city to be. However, SF does have access to beaches, national parks, hiking, and Napa Valley ;-) I would think more about what you like to do in your spare time as both are going to have pretty equal employment opportunities. SF is more tech focused it seems but there is more entertainment and Ad sales in NYC. Good luck
SF and NYC are the two MOST expensive cities in the US. So unless you ve got a lot of savings and/or a well paid job lined up don t move either place.Given you career you might also want to consider LA, lower cost of living, lots of good looking people, great weather, and certain parts of the LA Metro area are low crime and clean.
NO!! jobs are really hard to get.. I agree with the other s answer. SF, NYC are the worst to move to right now.. It s expensive and the jobs are too great. Companies are laying off people like crazy! Maybe Seattle would be cheaper to live and the crime rate is mich lower there than SF and NYC.
