New York City, New York

I’ve always wanted to go visit New York City and maybe live there so I figured I would check out the job options there. Unsurprisingly, there are many more jobs offered in this massive city with a total coming to 31. These jobs all varied with a decent portion being temporary, permanent and contract. The majority of these jobs are consulting jobs requiring sales and marketing experience. The salaries also have increased a decent amount compared to Kenosha and Madison due to higher expenses of living.

After searching for jobs in these locations, I got results I was kind of expecting. Madison and Kenosha were geared more towards the jobs requiring less experience and had manufacturing type skill requirements. When looking at NYC, it was more large firms seeking employment and often had experience as a prerequisite.
