I still remember getting my first Manhattan job. I was excited about experiencing the culture and nightlife of the city after work. Little did I know that the toll of the commute would quickly kill off any such interest. I feel this is especially because of the peculiarities of the Manhattan commute (and potentially other cities with similar commute patterns). I was nowhere near as beaten up when I commuted in NJ. But all the hot jobs (and culture!) are in Manhattan. Ironically I had more energy to head out into the city after work from NJ.
