New York, New York

“If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywehere…”

So goes the song, and now it applies to me. Almost 4 months since the last entry and much to talk about.

I’ve relocated to New York in hopes of scoring a high class coding job and came to the harsh reality of my situation. I spent the prior year hacking up java ui code, hadn’t really coded anything worth a damn in 3 years, and now live in the second most expensive city in the world where the competition is stiff. My resume looked like a 3rd grader wrote it, I completed my BS in physics just months ago, making me look inexperienced (or stupid, considering i’m 29), and all remnants of code I had written myself were long gone.

I’ve progressed and changed alot in these short 4 months. No full-time job but I’m doing freelance work and working on my own projects in my spare time. It’s rather nice and I might just prefer it to a cubicle in a high-rise.
