I am stuck between deciding what office to work at in the consulting branch in Deloitte. I know that Boston has a higher cost of living than Stamford. I was thinking about possibly living at home for about 6 months (home is in CT) and then getting a place eventually when I meet people in the Stamford office. This would help me save money. But I did an internship in the Boston office for Deloitte and did enjoy it there. I'm just undecided on what to do.
I also know from interning that Deloitte is allowing people to work remotely, but being new to the work force I feel that it is important to go into the office and meet new people. I am just not sure how many people will start being in person as well. I also want to make sure that either decision will not hinder my professional development.
Community: I would like a good night life/being around people my age (early 20s). I do enjoy playing and watching sports so any pick up games would also be nice to get to meet people. I also enjoy exercising and when looking at apartments in Stamford a lot of places have gyms within buildings which I would not be able to afford in Boston.
Rent: Rents a bit tricky, I would pay about 2,000 max with another roommate in Boston - in Stamford once I find a roomate it goes down to about 1,500 I saw but with 3 roomates it would be 1,000. In Boston this is not the case and the prices just kept going up no matter how many roomates I would have.
