As an international freelancer people are often shocked at how much I make per day being based in NY. Even from other international cities like London and Tokyo I’d say I make at least 2x per day what they do on average.

Expensive city but best one of the best paying in the world.

Eh, I guess. I’m moving out of state over the ever-increasing cost of living and taking my NYC salary with me. High salary isn’t the draw it used to be with remote work more present now.

True, I have to physically be there for my trade (commercial cinematography)

My wife works corporate life and she made a 15% bump in salary which basically covers state and city taxes (from Austin tx)
