NYC471
Hey everyone, congrats on the offer! Super excited to be part of this group. I'm from Taiwan but also grew up in the US. Have been going to school and doing consulting work in NYC for the past 8 years.
Are people outside of Europe going to the 12/5 event? Am debating whether I should go from NY but definitely a bit hard to plan only a week out and not to mention the cost of a last minute flight purchase.
I was looking at flight prices, it is $1k to fly from Vancouver, then according to expedia $2,200 to fly to Atlanta (what?!).
Alternatively, I fly to Atlanta from Vancouver for $250...
So the question is, unless cheaper flights materialize, is it worth $3,000 and 16 hours of flying to go to the LBS event on the 5th?
Fingers crossed for cheaper flights.
I'm definitely not going to make it. It would cost around $3000 as well for me, but more than 24hrs of flying one-way to get there from NZ. Plus I'm in alcohol retail so December is crazy busy.
Personally I think that while it would be nice to attend, it's ok to miss this one if it's too difficult to get there as there will be another next year in May (22nd from memory). At that one we'd meet more of our future classmates, since by then R2 and possibly R3 applicants would attend.
