I am mulling over an opportunity to take a job in downtown white plains. I live in suburbs in central/east PA now.
I am not sure about the living cost comparison and wonder if it is wise.
the new job can make 15%-20% increase in compensation. but the living cost is much higher, it seems.
Right now, I rent a spacious two bedroom which is $1100/month, I just briefly checked the apartment in white plains, it seems easily over $2500/month.
I am single 30s, my life style is that I am comfortable living in a suburb area like where I am now, where cost is low and little commute.
I will definitely not want to live in metros like New York City, but I thought white plains is suburb, so figure could be possible for me.
any advice/opinions?
