      I’m 2-3 hours from NYC depending on traffic, so… kinda? But I’m pretty happy with my job honestly. I support a niche cloud product that my organization is almost entirely dependent on. Its a union position with good pay and benefits. It can be stressful sometimes and my boss can sometimes be… overbearing, but on the whole it feels like I’ve found a unicorn.

      Out of curiosity though, do you have a job posting you’re willing to share? I like to keep my ear to the ground.

        That’s awesome to hear. I could tell you’d be a good hire. We do automation contracting. We do lots of logic programming and also have an IT / MSP side of the business (Azure/on-prem domain, email server, cloud, etc.). I’ve been trying out this new app I saw an ad for on the train, advertising for job placement, and started using it the other day.

        You can have a look at the ad here

        If he’s from NYC, he knows what NYC means. If he’s not from there, it doesn’t matter anyway

        NYC is one of a number of world cities known by acronyms or nicknames:

        • Rio For Rio de Janeiro
        • HK For Hong Kong
        • TJ For Tijuana
        • KL For Kuala Lumpur
        • TO For Toronto
        • Joburg For Johannesburg

        There’s even a whole country that goes by its initials: UK.

        So, stop thinking this is some American thing, it’s just a way that people shorten the names of common cities that have a few too many syllables to be convenient.
