I am finally moving to NYC at the end of this month. I would like to settle on a job before then, but pursuing a position from Puerto Rico has proven less than optimal. So I am reaching out to you hacker news, in hopes of getting some advice/recommendations.<p>Is it at all feasible to get hired over Hangout/Skype, or should take on freelance work for the first couple of months so I can go job hunting in person?<p>What are some cool places* to work in New York?<p>Are open applications a thing, in other words, should I send out my resume unsolicited?<p>Here is my personal website http://ryanoliver.co<p>Thanks for any and all help
