It's about a 10k difference (61k vs 70k)
but the COL in the Bay Area is very expensive - an apartment is almost 2k and I would be living with my husband, no roommates. Stratford is dirt cheap in comparison - only 1k/month for a nice apartment.
I'm mostly concerned about having in-house rotations nearby so I wont have to move third year, and best preparing myself for matching pysch. What do u think?
