What NJ suburbs do you recommend if your household needs to split commute between NYC and Philadelphia? NYC commute might end up being hybrid 3 days a week, but for now it would be occasional each quarter for both. Daycare would be important as well for infant. ~290 HHI

Thanks for your reply! How’s the traffic in the area?

Edison. Easy Acela to Philly and trains to NY all day long from metropark.

Yes, Amtrak does have a monthly pass (and discounted 10 ride and 6 ride passes too, if the Philly commute is only a few days a week the monthly may not be a deal). Not gonna lie, it's still not cheap though. Depends on how your money versus time/hassle calculus works out, and where you're going in Philly.

I would MAYBE look into Morris County! I live our suburb because we’re close enough for commute for both cities

Thank you that seems a bit further than I’d like for the Philly commute. How are the burbs between Elizabeth and Trenton?

I’m not a biglaw attorney but have been working on a few matters with Wilson Sonsoni for some time. We have a good working relationship. Didn’t go to a T14, had middle of the pack grades. What’re the odds they’d consider me as a lateral in the Washington DC office? Is it even worth applying? Is a STEM background absolutely mandatory? Any other insights on culture and expectations at WS’s DC office would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏

Saw someone asking about high-rise apartments in Mott Haven earlier. Just moved into a new apartment building here and honestly it’s not as bad as I thought.

Hope this is helpful for any one who is looking at this area.
