Boston is easily 10x better than Stamford in terms of…. EVERYTHING.

It’s also DRASTICALLY easier to live outside Boston and commute in than it is to live outside Stamford and commute in.

If you do well at the company, figure in 3-5 years you’ll be able to at least think about either living by yourself, or even buying.

Personally, I would try extremely hard to stay in Boston, it’s just a much better area IMO. I guess if you take proximity to NYC into account Stamford evens out, but I find Boston and the surrounding areas to be a lot less stress inducing than CT/NYC… and has in general a much nicer and more friendly population.

I like the NYC area and grew up here, but it’s drastically more high intensity and people are way more up their own asses in CT/NY.
