McKinsey Location Decision

Hey guys, I’m new to the consulting world. Accepting an offer from McKinsey soon. Can anyone shed light on pros/cons for office locations?

Looking to get insight into work benefits of each office like networking opportunities, learning opportunities, and office cultures.

Additionally would like to get thoughts on which cities you think are most fun and offer best living from personal life perspective.

My top options are: - Austin - Denver - Chicago

Other options in low consideration: - Miami - Boston - new york

I really want my money to go as far as possible and I don’t like hurricanes.
