What I didn't like was working in NYC. Quality of life is pathetic in NYC unless you are making really good moolah. Negotiate at least a 100% hike compared to your current total comp at Microsoft. Anything less is not worth.
partly the cost of living. But more to do with options for quality living - like your kids won't have much space to play, very few parks, very little greenery in the city, pollution etc.
I worked at Bloomberg for 4 years during the early stages of my career. Pretty good perks compared to other financial firms. Good employer in general, smart colleagues, nice pay etc.
