McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

You’re picking a city to live in, above all else
Both will have ample opportunity. Pick the city you want to live in

Boston days way way way way way more LS than NYO.
But Boston is an awful city, pick NYO
Coach
Boston is not an awful city, but it is a lot smaller place than NYC. On the other hand, Boston is not overrun with rats an doesn’t smell like dirty diapers all summer. So pick your poison.
NYO if you’d like NY more than Boston (most likely will). Transferring later is a pain
Go for Boston, love the city and office!
Pick Boston if you’d rather live in Boston. Pick NYC if you’d rather live in NYC. Hope this helps.
Boston
Boston does way more life sciences but not healthcare payer / provider / services
Pick where you want to live! They’re both large offices with tons of connectivity events (but trade off of feeling less personal)
Also consider your income tax rate will be ~10pp lower in Boston… if you’re part of NYO office you pay city tax even when it’s earned out of state 🥸
Small caveat: This is only true if your address is in NYC proper (not NJ, Long Island, Westchester, etc.). Otherwise you pay no city tax even if you work in the city.
