Hello, I have received an offer from Southwest Airlines as a Associate Technology Analyst with their direct college hire program. Will be graduating in May with a degree in MIS and also have internships experience as a Business Systems analyst intern. The salary compensation started off at 66,500 but was looking for the 75k range and they got back to me saying the best they can do is 68,500. They also have a 401k company match up to 9.3%. Do you think this is a solid offer for this job market?

I would research COL in Manhattan thoroughly.
Which Boston suburb? Grew up in New York, but wouldn’t trade Brookline for any amount of money.
Well, then you have my answer.
Raising three little ones (ages 1, 5, 7) in Manhattan. We LOVE raising City kids! There are tons of families in the neighborhood and building, great parks, good schools (in certain neighborhoods). The kids are growing up exposed to so much diversity and culture, we walk to work and can easily make events at the school during the day, and love not having a car and walking or taking the subway instead.
“YUCK” would be my response to that offer.
Just live near the park — it makes it workable. Did it for six years with a young daughter and we loved it. But the park as an escape valve was necessary — above 78th street, the park is actually a quiet nature retreat. Below 78th it isn’t always an escape. Oh and be ready to be raped by the private schools.
Which is why I wouldn’t even think about it.
They’re leaving among the best school districts in the state with the best schools.
For...?
Weird. I edit d this with other stuff and it didn’t post.
New York is a lot more expensive, OP.
