You get way more bang for your buck lifestyle in NYC, but there are more exit opportunities in Boston for biotech, as NJ is all large pharma. If you’re young, I say NYC. If you want to leave consulting soon, maybe Boston.

EM1 is right on point.
OP I guess you are probably in tech/data space? Not sure how much leverage that will have in smaller Co.s. Larger the biopharma, more they have the need to either implement or overhaul IT and technology solutions.

Don't even get my started on being pigeon holed because of my employer, but I have relevant prior experience that I hope and pray will help me move onto the next thing.

I don't recommend accenture to anyone unless you like being forced to stay at level while constantly being threatened for not performing above level.
