Realistically, you will need to earn NYC wages to afford living in NJ, but employers in and around Princeton expect to pay workers half of those wages. It's also a culturally devoid area and highly car dependent. You'd have a better bet freelancing in either Philadelphia or New York.
- koevet 4y agoHi, ok I thought that Princeton was everything but "culturally devoid". Do you mind elaborating on that?
- heavyset_go 4y agoHaving lived there, in my experience it was mostly wealthy people and their adult children that lived there, and it was your typical upper middle class suburb. It's a boring, at least to me, monoculture compared to the two cities it sits between, or even New Brunswick. If you didn't come from money, it was an insular place to be. The people I knew, and myself, couldn't wait to get out of there.
