Anyone who is working from New York City?

Question

Id like to ask you about what it is like working in an Office In New York City? I am working from an office in Liverpool City Centre and i can tell you it is ok,

I work 9-5 with an 30 mins lunch, which is normally spent going for a "smoke" and getting my lunch-a tuna sandwich, from Asda. We usually go out on a friday to one of the city centres bars, where we have a drink before going our seperate ways. What the hell is it like working in an high rise building?

It must freak you out knowing how far from the ground you are-Or is it very liberating experience?

well, You have some of the tallest buildings in the world, and iv always dreamt of working right up there in the penthouse office, right at the top. Is it good? Do you have a canteen up there or do you have to go all the way down for your lunch, and are you allowed to smoke up there?

WoW Merc1985 and Marie
Thanks for the insight!! Is the Companies there more professional than anywhere else then?--

MARIE-It is my dream to work in New York, i wonder if you know of any recruitment websites? If i email my C.V. i hopefully will land a job-Im a Medical secretary-Would that class as a "skilled" job? i.e. to get a green card into the states?

Most people do work longer than 9 -5 hours here, it seems like 9 - 6 is the standard. Some industries (like investment banking) work much longer hours. Other industries (like the garment district) go in earlier and leave earlier.

Some of the big highrises have do have cafeterias in the building. Although some companies have private cafeterias that are only for their use. Most people that I know will just run out and grab some lunch at one of the many restaurants that are nearby. After working in one location for a long time, you have your favorites!

I've worked in many tall buildings and it can nice. Although some buildings (like Citicorp Center) have been known to sway in heavy winds, and you really do feel it (and hear it!) on the upper floors. It is also nice to work in a tall building with a view of Central Park so you can watch the seasons change.

Some offices are more social than others. I have worked places were we always went out drinking or for dinner/events after work. But in other offices, especially where people commute out of the city to go home, there is less of that. It really depends on how social you are and how much you like your co-workers.

There is no smoking in any public buildings anymore.
Come move here for a while and try it out! I think you will like it!

Califronia: Earthquakes and a Governor who communicate humorous Texas: The dying penalty for dashing Florida: Hurricanes and the lack to count huge variety Iraq: in case your pals do no longer kill you, your loved ones will Iran: See above Minnesota: lots snow and an ex-governor who talks humorous England: undesirable tooth, undesirable climate, undesirable nutrition Maryland: My son's mom. Colordao: college shotings and the main indept police rigidity ever (hello adult males Jon bennets mom did it...geez) China: No Freedom, too many human beings heavily i ought to flow on and on however the actual answer replaced into given extra then 50 years in the past via FDR "we now have not something to concern yet concern itself" So in case you're a sparkling Yorker, guy up and take care of it. I somewhat have ny be the objective then some unfavorable city that can't take it. we are hard around right here 9-11 confirmed that. Knock us down and we are able to get ideal returned up and spit on your eye

I work in a high rise in Times Square. Its not different that working in a smaller office building just more people. I dont have to leave the building for lunch, we have a cafeteria inside the building. I have an hour for lunch and usually walk home to eat lunch. We have hundreds of thousands of bars and most people dont go out with their co-workers. Doesnt freak me out being far from the ground since (i assume you mean freak out if there is an emergency). I am pretty quick and as long as there are accessible stairs, i'll make it out...

Answer 4

It really depends which part of the city and in what industry you are working. The difference is huge. Although, as a general rule, I would say that 9-5 is a thing of the past. People typically work longer.

Answer 5

its the same here to work in any office and the heights dont scare anyone

Answer 6
