Should I got for
7ARM - 4.25% interest rate

You should think of these

1. What’s your long term goal? Do you want to live here or sell the place ?
2. What is your monthly payment difference between these two options ? How long does it take for you to break even/recuperate the expenses in either case

With out knowing these one can only speculate here.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
