Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.

No jersey city, because it's JERSEY ! Simple
Manhattan. No one is coming to visit you in JC and the commute gets annoying after a while
EY3, you are a consultant. Give me some facts why living in Manhattan is better than living in Jersey City? How exactly are you benefitting by living in the city, other than maybe bragging about to your friends "oh I actually live in New York City"? BC1, first of all the commute to the city is almost the same as the commute from a good, decently priced neighborhood in Brooklyn or Queens. Second, if OP is traveling 4 days a week, will it really matter if he is maybe spending 10 extra minutes commuting to the city?
I live in Bushwick and I'm about 30 min from both JFK and LGA.
Jersey city or Hoboken. I would love to live in the city, but have a much larger place in Hoboken for half as much as it would cost in the city. And parts of Brooklyn are as expensive as Manhattan. Queens isn't bad as far as cost and close to Airports.
City, or Brooklyn
Don't need to explain. Anyone who's lived/been in jersey would know. I don't travel, so I get a bang for my buck living in Manhattan. Also, if you've ever been through the Journal Square area and been hit by the smells, you'd know what I'm talking about. Jersey city is New York's arm pit. Have fun living there though
Since EY3 didn't give you any facts on why you would prefer NYC over Jersey City, let me give you some real reasons - it has lot better restaurants, bars, delis, grocery stores..getting to any of the boroughs is a lot easier. Also if you are living in the city, you need to have only one transit card (you don't need to have both the path and the MTA passes). So OP, it's all about your preferences and priorities. Take your pick
JC if you care about saving/investing money
JC = easy access to EWR and there's talk of extending PATH to airport
Hoboken unless you're Indian
^ I'm Indian, and I agree! Live in the city please.
Thanks you all! Waiting for @EY3
@KPMG1, Jersey city unless you are white! 😝
EY1: What kind of bragging rights are you talking about ? Who do you live your life for ? Nobody cares.
OP, hope just read EY3'a comment. No facts, only silly hate. I will let you decide :). Oh and Jersey City is much more than Journal Square; just like New York City is more than Harlem, Jackson heights, etc. you have nice neighborhoods in Jersey City like Paulus Hook, Newport where the apartments are a lot cleaner, spacious and you actually get real sunlight lol
For an investor buy in Jersey City heights. Lots of recent grads getting pushed up there due to high rent in Hoboken
I know this was a multiple choice question but I'd actually go Brooklyn. Cheap, same train lines, and there is a ton of stuff to do out there now
@ac1 but doesn't that add travel times to and fro from the airport / city?
JC has some new rentals, condos. You don't have to pay the city tax. Path runs 24 hours. I just don't get the craze of living in old quality, shoebox houses of Manhattan or Brooklyn when you can get a nicer, cheaper rental with a much better view (city view if you get lucky) for the same price.
