All, sorry for the late reply as it took me awhile to read through everything and gather my thoughts on how to respond to everyone. Some of you are very understanding and i thank you for that, while i feel some of you are a bit harsh. But i thank you anyway for providing sound advice. As of now...

Am i really expecting too much? Honest question, not being sarcastic or anything. I know it shouldn't be about the money and i do enjoy this job but i feel at this rate i will not be going anywhere, financially. With the current housing market in NYC its very hard to strive here with this pay...

Hi All, i've been working as an MEP engineer in NYC for 2 years now. Its my first position related to my career after graduating with a BS. I very recently received my end of the year review and received nothing but praise, my boss thinks i am progressing very well and becoming very independent...
