How about property tax consideration as well besides school and proximity to EWR?Just learned NJ has varied property tax.

Anywhere in Bergen county has amazing schools and great transportation - fair lawn, glen rock, ridgewood. I have a great real estate agent for you if you need, DM me for more info

DM me

Pretty much follow any of the train lines out from the city, Lines through Bergen county (ridgewood), Morris county (summit/Morristown), Essex (Montclair as previously mentioned), and the “northern” shore towns (red bank). If you have preference to area then select the direction and follow one of those for towns. They are most often the more established towns (not necessarily the best schools, but a place to start your search)

I believe East Brunswick, Montgomery, and maybe Bridgewater have good schools. Public transportation is not great, but there are some options if you live near a bus or train line and are going from point A to point B.

Public transport to where and how often would you be using it? Towns like Livingston have great school districts, and it's probably 30 minutes to EWR. There should be a bus line like Decamp that goes into the city. Or possibly an NJ Transit bus or train that you can connect in Newark to train or PATH. But overall the public transport in NJ isn't great and it can take over an hour door-to-door for NYC travel if you're not in JC, Hoboken, Weehaken, area. Taxes are also quite high for the better school districts and nicer neighborhoods. I know people who commute from the Verona area, which is a bit father. Montclair is nice, but not a great public school IMO.

Grew up in NJ. Still live here DM me.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
