Is there a site like this for jobs in the NYC/CT region? I find the daily listings helpful and wanted to know if they were just limited to DC or span across several areas.

Anon - we occasionally list jobs in the NYC area, but we don't know of any site like this that covers that region. So you should probably start one yourself! Happy hunting!
