Which office should I start my consulting career in? I have roots in ATL, but have always had that dream to live in NYC. My firm is giving full flexibility in which office I will be assigned to, but the salary will stay static. Any thoughts?

Well, the glory is surely in that you have all of the freedom in the world right now. If you love ATL for it's urban culture, NYC could be a pretty smooth transition. Not saying they're at all similar as far as vibe, but both pretty huge places.

I started in Nashville which was pretty quiet during the day. Feel like I needed a quiter metro area in order to focus. it was good for me. It depends on what's good for you!

If you have a good relationship with your company, there's always a possibility for you to move back eventually if you decide NYC isn't for you. But if it's always been your dream, well.... YOLO! :)
