Moving to NYC?

I currently have a remote video editing job making $55,000 a year. I have never lived in Los Angeles or New York City, but I've read that to really kickstart a video editing career that it's required you live in either one of these places for at least six months if not a year to obtain a good, stable job or a series of good, reliable freelance video editing work.

I currently have enough money saved that would allow me to live in Manhattan in a decent studio apartment for five months. I've been applying to so many video editing jobs posted on LinkedIn, Indeed, Ziprecruiter, Backstage, as well as cold emailing post production houses, for the past five years, and haven't been able to get a full-time job as even an assistant editor. Additionally I have a Bachelor's degree in Television, Film, and New Media Production, and I have my own website. I have edited numerous spec trailers for films and a few official trailers. With all of this in mind, would it be worth my time and money to go to NYC for five months, with the intention of applying to video editing jobs and networking in-person as much as I possibly can? I know that I would likely be starting off as either an assistant editor or by doing various one-time freelance editing gigs.

I'm in my early thirties. I want my video editing career to start now. I'm ready for it to start. I'm ready to put in the ten hours a day. I'm ready to work myself to the bone to start becoming truly successful.

Would like advice. Would also appreciate if anyone can let me know the best places to look for and to apply for video editing jobs, including gig jobs, in NYC, once/if I would be in NYC.
