Torn on City and Opportunity

Have a final round tomorrow for 2025 start and was told it will primarily be just meeting the team as the technical rounds are over.

It is with a really great MM/UMM firm, but not in NYC. I have always wanted to live in NYC and have loved it ever since I moved ~7 months ago.

Assuming everything works out, I feel torn between staying in NYC or moving to this city to take a job that I feel crazy turning down.

Any advice from someone who has left/did not leave and regrets it, etc.
