It's so fucking competitive. There are 100s of folk with my resume here.... |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 9
|
see also: Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Paris, Madrid.... |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 13
|
Yeah all very competitive cities. But it's a big country/world with lot... |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 23
|
yes. so competition in the music/entertainment biz ain't unique |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 25
|
Well that's just an example. I think it's true of every job listing in ... |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 28
|
It depends on how we're defining making it |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 30
|
and that's not true in Tokyo? or Mexico City? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 39
|
I'm pretty sure that the saying is domestic in nature. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 48
|
of course it is. easy pickings that way. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 50
|
I always took it as more like |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 64
|
but 'anywhere' isn't just US cities. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 82
|
you would be correct |

But if you do it in Richmond... have you really "made it"? |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 162
|
If you're doing work you enjoy and not worrying about $ |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 163
|
If you're an VP at the Martin Agency, you've made in in advertizing |
|
Feb 18th 2015 | 165

In Richmond being the important bit. |

Exceptions =/ Rule. |

Feb 18th 2015 | 175

you can apply the saying to a few other cities but... |

Feb 17th 2015 | 74

Its something NY'ers tell themselves to feel good about paying |

|
Feb 17th 2015 | 10
|
why is the comparison to places like Topeka, Kansas |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 15
|
No. In many ways, it's easier to make it in NYC |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 3
|
compared to where? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 17
|
No, you misread me |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 24
|
so there's no other city in the world w/a school like CUNY? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 36
|
I don't know. All I'm saying is that |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 42
|
right. so this is like me stunting about making it here |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 46
|
I don't understand what you're doing here |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 49
|
it's b/c you're not from Hong Kong so you can't understand. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 52

SoWhat's role in all this is to knock NYC down |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 68

Feb 17th 2015 | 32

No |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 12

its a double edged sword. NYC, you can make it if you know people |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 14
|
see also: Chicago |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 22
|
Puffy and Russell Simmons would have just been party promoters if |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 26
|
depends on the field though |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 31
|
kinda the opposite in my experience |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 18
|
if you can make it in NYC, can you make it in Singapore? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 45

Feb 17th 2015 | 53

It's weird that leaving NYC is seen as a failure or defeat. |

Feb 17th 2015 | 85

|
Feb 18th 2015 | 199

TIMEOUT: What's the question here? |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 61
|
Definitely a disconnect between my original question and example. |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 66
|
I'm doing fine here |
|
Feb 17th 2015 | 67

might be easier because there is more opportunity |

Feb 17th 2015 | 111
