I'm thinking of moving to the Boston area for family reasons and was wondering what the tech scene was like there. It appears all the big tech companies have offices. Are they doing interesting work? How does pay differ from the Bay Area / WA? If it matters, I'm in the ML space (applied/research).
Also, any leads on where I should be looking for housing? It seems like most of the offices are in Cambridge, but SFH there is quite expensive (I have kids, so schools also matter).

And there’s so many ML teams from Amazon and apple here. Both in Boston and Cambridge areas.
Besides that there’s google (maps and search and some other teams), Facebook (computer vision, etc), there’s Spotify (big base, lot of teams).
And there’s many more companies and startups
There’s enough tech here.
Let me know if you want referral for amazon. There’s Alexa teams (conversational AI teams and some LM teams) and AWS (security ML team).
Most big tech there are pure research arms recruiting PhDs out of MIT and Harvard with some people doing other stuff. It's usually stuff that doesn't require a org collab, as that kind of stuff tends to be put in SF or NYC.
Cambridge is basically Boston. Boston has Boston Latin, which is one of the elite public schools a la Stuy/TJ/Mira Loma/Palo Alto. If you want to send your kids to boarding, Exeter and Andover are nearby
