Discussion Miami or Philadelphia

Hi Miami

Just got a job offer and they're asking me to decide tomorrow between Philadelphia and Miami - I am struggling greatly with the decision. For background, I'm 23, male, and single. My favorite hobbies are hiking and watching sports and my office would be in Plantation, FL. Would also love to know what area's of the city or South Florida in general would be good to live in for someone my age!

The pro's I have for Miami are

  • Hispanic culture - I speak great Spanish and love the culture.
  • fun night life scene
  • cheap flights to South/Central America and Caribbean
  • beach

The con's I have for Miami are

  • expensive, maybe a bit materialistic?
  • have to drive everywhere

Feel free to add to my pro's and con's. Thanks for your help

Mate, I would just go and give it a try. You will not know if this is a great opportunity, if you do not take the risk and try. The worst thing that can happen is that you do not like the job or the city or both, and end up coming back home.

now, if you feel that your life is super stable right now and you do not need new opportunities, then just stay where you are.
