Northampton also has the property that Boston and NYC are both within driving distance, which means that, if you just can't find a job close to home, you can go job hunting in either of the cities. That would make a big difference to me if I were considering moving there.
- loumf 16y agoWithin driving distance, but not commuting distance. Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT are within commuting distance though. They both have huge insurance companies where you could get an IT job. And both have better jobs than that as well. It's all about how good a candidate you are -- you'll have far less competition for the best jobs.
