    Is it worth working in New York City
    All right lets see if someone can make the decision for me since I have no clue it its worth it or not.

    I am 23 Electrical Engineering degree with EIT and work in New Jersey for a consulting firm making 55

    I have a job offer to work in New York city for 65, it's the same kind of work

    Is the extra 10 g's worth it for the extra commute.

    Also is 65 a good offer to work in the city for this type of position if anyone know

    You need to look beyond the salary increase.

    Will you have better exposure in NYC vice NJ and be able to advance faster?

    Will the higher tax rate in NYC and commuting expenses offset the salary increase?

    Do I like where I am currently working? Do I have a future with this company?
