Is relocation part of the package? If not that is an extra cost to think of. What part of NJ are you in? Is housing cheaper there than Boston?

I live in Somerset. Barclays is in Whippany and JP Morgan is in Boston. Boston is way more expensive.

I would consider the cost of living from each state to see where you would save the most money. Also to that we spend our whole world scared of trying new things and living in the same location. Relocating is a good thing. I would still check the cost of Living, but I think JP Morgan is bigger than Barclays. The make it or break it is the cost of living and the benefits to each job and what perks you get.

Thank you!
