If you live in NY city, you are going to have more competition for the jobs you want. I have many friends here in Canada who moved to one of our biggest cities - Toronto - and have the same problem. People move to big cities chasing their dream career, and end up working just any job to make ends meet.
High-density 'popular' cities with high cost of living.... there is just so much competition for the good jobs.
You might want to consider being willing to move to a smaller city for the right job. Especially if a few years out of school you are still in the same situation.
Many (or some) company owners would love to relocate to cheaper cities but they face the problem of the lack of talent. Trying to find a job in a city that is not a "technology hub" may not be a bad idea. Specialy if you value quality of life over gross salary.
I appreciate the words guys, I’m actually looking into that. If it comes down to it I may move back to Barbados where I’m originally from. Or give another city/town in the East coast a try. Thank you.

It doesn't always mean making less - often the drop in cost of living balances out. Ex a $300k home in my city is 1.5 million in Toronto. Yikes.
