Hey folks, know I don't post too terribly much but I figured I'd ask for y'all's help. I've been interviewing for an entry-level sales position with a major IT Information Management company which is in the Boston area (Franklin, to be exact). I went up there last week to interview and was offered the job. Honestly, I'm still debating whether or not I will accept as law school is still kind of on the plate. But that is a different subject all together...
Anyhow, take into consideration that my salary first year would be from 50-60 grand. I'd make considerably more than that after I get my territory in my third year, and thus I would only be living in Boston for about 2 years. I'm from Houston and intend to look for a territory in Texas once I complete the 18-24 month training program at said IT giant so I'm not looking for anything real long term.
All that said, what are the good neighborhoods to live in Boston for someone just starting out? I'm told that none of the first year employees live in Franklin, all live in the city. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what I want out of a neighborhood but here's what I do know: within my budget, relatively young/hip area, decent in terms of crime.. I'd say nothing too out of the ordinary for someone who is 22, single, and just starting their career.
I really appreciate any help you guys can give!
EDIT: If anyone has any opinions of this major IT company in Franklin (I'm not sure if I want to name it outright but many of you may be familiar with it), I'd more than welcome those as well.
