There is a world of difference between 140K in Chicago and 140K in San Jose. If your friend can handle the winters Chicago is a great city

Definitely still Expedia. 140K in Chicago is a lot of money and from what you said in your post it sounds like a great development opportunity. I don’t have any personal knowledge of either company

Expedia because of Chicago. You will save a lot with 140k.
