I'll be completing my final Level II fieldwork in NYC and I'm considering sticking around the area afterwards. I was wondering if anyone has insight on the OT landscape in the city. How are job prospects? Is compensation decent enough to make up for the high cost of living?

Did you end doing your fieldwork in the city? If so, how was it? I just finished my first three semesters of OT school and have one semester left before I begin level II fieldwork. I am considering doing my second fieldwork in NYC.
