Best City To Start A Banking Career

While currently an undergraduate and beginning a career in investment banking through Summer and in-semester internships, I am questioning the location to seek a full-time career at. I would like to keep in mind job opportunity, upward career progression, cost of living, and taxes. Does anyone have suggestions that balance these qualifiers? Obviously New York (inherently Wall Street) is the epicenter of finance; however, does the city ultimately balance the costs associated with life there?
