even cool areas like somerville or cambridge or brookline aren't as good as the better areas of brooklyn or jc/hoboken. rentals in the seaport district are just as stupidly expensive ($3-4k/month) as manhattan without the unlimited job market to justify it. there are lots boston-ites there. there are drawbacks.

three years of living in boston nearly drove me to suicide just from having to deal with bostonians every day. i’m not exaggerating or joking. don’t move to boston. although people from outside the united states and people who move with significant others seem to have a much better time of it for some reason.

already at dece 6 figgies in nyc. this is +15% plus another 10-15% annual bonus on top. it's a solid offer for the position, not great. there's little doubt that it's much less of a shitshow organization than current employer.

Boston's cool and some neighborhoods are great. The big dig is also worth showing off to out of towners when you're walking on the greenway, even though it draws a lot of haters.

boston struck me as a great city to be college-aged in, and less and less desirable the further you move from that age 18-22 demographic

If they're playing footsie with you about it they fear you going to the company directly and (therefore) don't trust you or consider you an actual grown-up professional.
