I would be considering the following:
- company: are they financially stable and growing?
-clients: what accounts would you be working on? Are there ripe creative opportunities for you to strengthen and expand your portfolio?
-direct manager: is there one or the other that you feel you jive with more or can learn the most from?
-culture: NYC and SF cultures are very different, where do you feel you fit in most naturally?
-creative partner: will you be paired with a copywriting partner? If so, are they someone you want to be in the trenches with?

It depends.. If you are looking to grow your network and possibly expose your self to side Hustles and capital.. SF is the spot

Are you saying you can’t grow your network in New York? Surely you jest.
