Installed at the window of her apartment in Forest Hills in the Queen’s, 10 minutes from Manhattan, (the youth district of the famous Simon & Garfunkel) the author from Rouen Sandrine Mehrez-Kukurudz comes back with us today on the strengths and pitfalls of New York. According to Sandrine, who is often in contact with French people who want to come and taste the American dream, we must start by putting things in perspective. : “What are you looking for, why do you want to leave, and why the United States.” It is an Eldorado for some, it is difficult, it is a fight for others. ”
you can have a meeting with the CEO of a box that makes billions, on the other hand, you will not have two meetings
For our Norman, the great strength of New York is the resilience. Epicenter of the American pandemic last spring, the city has never lost its optimism: ” You don’t feel the weight of things, people are resilient, if they can’t do that, well, they’re doing something else.This situation that Sandrine describes to us, she herself has been tested in the last few months. Unable to be able to continue her activity in events and her meetings with authors, she fell back on the web and transformed her profession: ” We French in the United States have captured this ability to constantly bounce back because we have no choice. »
It is well known that in New York you have to have strong nerves. If the city offers the possibility of going up very high, it can bring you back down as quickly very low. Sandrine often reminds her clients: “ you can have a date with the CEO of a company that makes billions, on the other hand, you will not have two dates, so you have to be good from the first. ”
Ruthless in the business world, New York is nonetheless an extraordinary city, especially for the melting pot of its population: ” in my building, I believe there are 65 different communities »A cultural richness that our Norman from the end of the world would not be able to do without.
