I'm being offered a position with another company that pays twice what I make now. But as much as Im sure Boston rocks, I wasnt planning on moving there anytime soon(currently in Ky). Gonna have to come up with an answer soon, but as much as I;d love the money moving to boston and finding an apartment/house that would work for myself and my dog sounds like such a pita


Tell me what to do
 
the weather isnt all that good, but its a great place to live. Not a huge city, but it has plently of things to do. I dont see any huge reasons why you shouldnt.

why not? i mean he is going to get twice the pay... its not like they are asking him to move to the middle of nowhere. Also the housing prises are high, but its seems they are almost everywhere now.
 
Not a bad place to live imho. Not knowing other factors, I'd definitely move to Boston for twice the salary. Of course, I may be a bit biased as I am going to college in Cambridge, MA.
 
As a person living in Boston, I'd say it's a great place. Not sure how the adjustment from KY would be. It's a relatively big city, compared to where you are now, but nothing overwhelming. The weather is good if you can stand some snow in the winter, and there is always something to do here.

Real estate, however, is extremely expensive and the cost of living will be higher compared to where you are now.

yup even though he is getting twice the pay the huge cost of living we have here now will take up a lot of that.

Never lived there, but I visited boston this last week, as well as NYC, and boston is so much nicer downtown than NYC.

I;d be going from 28k yr with great benefits to 55k+ with I would assume good benefits as well. Working for insurance companies has that effect. Problem is I finally landed a job with education benefits, and while I am sure that the new job would have them as well, I've been out of school for 2 years and didnt leave with a great gpa, not sure if it would be as easy to get into college in boston as it is to get into state schools here.

Depends, if you live in downtown sure, but your housing cost for an apartment in downtime could easily be 2x the cost of one 20-30 minutes outside the city.
