I tried asking this initially in a job subreddit, but it's really not financial advice I'm looking for it's (closer to) female advice, so maybe this is more applicable.
I have 48 hours to decide between 2 computer engineering job offers. They are... Boston area - $130k + signing/relocation Idaho Falls - $125k + signing/relocation
The Boston job offer expires in 48 hours. I was leaning towards Idaho Falls when my girlfriend said she'd move there with me, but she suddenly turned very sour recently and I have to assume I'm be going to either destination single. I lived before in a very small town in Michigan and it was shit for women.
I'm leaning towards Boston based on what I've seen searching on Match.com (2000 potential matches vs 40) but obviously the money goes further in Idaho. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can decide this? I assume there are sluts everywhere, but maybe more good girls in Idaho.
I'm not Mormon/LDS/whatever (like much of Idaho), I'm not liberal (like much of Boston). I'd have to leave a few guns with someone else if I moved to Boston but that's hardly the be-all and end-all. Thanks guys.
I'm 28. That's maybe relevant, maybe not.
[Update on Final Decision: I negotiated the Boston offer a little higher, then signed it. In the end my decision was based on the fact I might have a chance at .1% of eligible women in either location and .00110k < .001500k. Also, some stuff about the actual job and future potential. Thanks for all your input.]
