At a Top Boutique, Moving from UK to US - Which City Should I Choose?
Hey guys,
So I am a first-year analyst at a top boutique (think EVR/LAZ/PJT etc.), who just started working there recently. Since my undergraduate days (LSE), I've always wanted to move to the US so I always made sure to bring this topic up when I was interviewing with banks and similarly, all the way through the process of the boutique I am currently working at.
After a few months at said firm, they mentioned to me that they have an opportunity for me to relocate to the US, and I was understandably ecstatic. Only thing is that I have multiple cities to choose from, rather than the standard situation where there's a specific opportunity somewhere and so that's the place you set up shop.
This is obviously a great thing, since this almost never happens and I consider myself lucky to have this chance. Now this will be my first time moving to the US, and I consider this to be a permanent move - and I wouldn't want to unnecessarily switch after I've made the choice. So I'd like to get it right the first time.
Without further ado, here are the cities that I can choose from. I relocate at the start of 2019. In terms of comments, I'd love to hear stuff about each city, pros/cons, COL, lifestyle, etc. They've said comp everywhere is same so don't worry about that.
Also, feel free to ask away for any info you might need.
- Boston, MA
- Chicago, IL
- Houston, TX
- New York, NY - San Francisco, CA
I'd say San Francisco or Houston depending on your political views. The weather in both is nice, in Texas it might be a little bit hotter, but both are good.
Texas is heavy republican and has good gun rights and CA has legal weed so whichever you're more down with IMO those would be my choices.
If it’s LAZ, I’d say Boston.
