What It's Really Like To Do Media Selling & Advertising After College in New York City

I studied communications and wanted to work in Marketing or PR. I interned as a project manager and eventually an entry level job in sales. Hoping this will be a good springboard for moving up vertically. I would say to get into my field you have to be willing to wear many hats. Although I work in sales I work for a company with a start up atmosphere and we are a big part of the New York tech scene. And you always want to show an ability to think on your feet and accept challenges. Sales can be rewarding but it also has one the highest turnover rates of any occupation so you have to be willing to put in the extra effort.

Living in queens is a much cheaper alternative than manhattan if you were paying for rent. It has a very diverse culture and ethnic neighborhoods. So if you are a big foodie a lot of options of getting great chinese, spanish, cuban or mexican food and more. New York City in general is a great place to be in my opinion but obviously you pay for that in living expenses. I currently still live at home.
