Lol I’m in Boston, thinking about moving to Philly for the cheaper rent and to make it easier to own a vehicle.
Everyone’s different, it’s hard to make a good recc without knowing more about what’s important to you. Depending on where exactly you live, owning a car can be challenging in many of those cities.

like

Where does your family live? Is it important to be close to them? What do you like to do in your free time? How important is it to you to be in a big city?

If you want a car, I’d say no to NYC. DC isn’t cheap but would keep you close to family.
If you’re looking for a more affordable lifestyle, Chicago all the way!

like

The cost of living is lower in DC than NYC. I would probably live in Arlington.

Arlington isn’t even much cheaper than DC and then you have to commute to DC to do things. Would not agree w above advice

like

I had the option of DC or NYC and went with NYC (and my pay was adjusted upward). I’m sure either would be great since you are young and have family in Philly!

Chicago baby!!

I have a car in Brooklyn and it’s not too bad to manage and I’m happy to have it

Chicago or Boston

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
