  • Comments are wild. $220k is a sizable salary in the US, entry level working professionals usually start pushing 80k nationally, ~$140k in larger cities like NY and San fran. Realistically you need to ask some questions:

    Are you paying double income tax? It’s safe to assume 25-40% of your income will be going towards taxes for EACH government if you retain citizenship.

    Do you need to live in New York for your visa? You mentioned new jersey, but Connecticut ect, also has reasonable public transportation to the city.

    Are you expecting major expenses like a car, medical, credit card bills or student loans? Are you paying relocation fees? US typically requires first and last month payment. And new york real estate is brutal. Do you have a nest egg if something falls through? Do you need to pay for a lawyer to process your travel visas?
