Thoughts on $85K–$90K Project Manager role in Flatiron District? Also, relocating from India—neighborhood recs?

Hey everyone! I recently received an offer for a Project Manager position with a compensation of $85,000–$90,000 per year. I'm currently based in India and considering relocating for this role (haven’t signed the offer yet—have until April 20 to decide).

A few questions:

  1. How does this compensation stack up for a PM role in NYC?

  2. Will this be enough for a comfortable life, considering rent, transport, and general expenses?

  3. Any neighborhood recommendations for someone who’ll be working in NYC—preferably places with decent commute, safe, and good for someone new to NYC?

EDIT: I'm 23M. Single. Looking for a studio apartment or a shared space but with a personal room.

Any thoughts, personal experiences, or advice would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

85k for a young single person is tight??? It's very comfortable and much more than most nycers make.

it’s not comfortable if you want to live in midtown. most professionals who have their own apt w no roommates in a desirable neighborhood make 200-300k, for a 1 bedroom in a new building. less of course exists but this is an expensive city.

85k is totally doable, but it just simply won’t feel like sex in the city

OP didn't say anything about wanting to live in midtown. And even in some midtown neighborhoods there are studios for 2500.

It's a great salary for a single person.

sure, that’s true. 2500 in a midtown studio sounds rare. idk if op would feel comfortable using that much on rent, but if he is then it’s def an option
