Hi guys im in a weird situation. Finally got a job offer after a year of applying. It would be a lateral career move & Id be going from 55k to 80k. Im single and would be moving to greater boston area. I already know id have to commute in and due to my hobbies (frequent trips to NH) id want to keep my car.

I’m treading water on livability right now where im at slightly in the green for savings, and i assume things would be very slightly better moving there with that increase. 6% full 401k, pension, and cheaper health insurance is apart of the offer + as its a government job and protected by union.

What would yall do? For example rent here is about 1.7k for a studio & rent in quincy would be around 2.1k.

My current job is in private consulting and unprotected by union.

Hi all, my experience is below.

B.S. Earth Science
M.S. Energy & Environmental Management
Grad Cert - Natural Resource Management
Grad Cert - GIS

Environmental Lab Analyst - 3 Years
GIS Technician - 1 year

Location: New England

Currently after just getting my masters ive been looking for a new GIS job because where i work right now im overqualified and severely underpaid (cant save where i live). GIS market is absolutely swamped and probably have put out 50-75 apps and have not even gotten a call.

So now im thinking about trying to transition to something connected to my masters like Permitting, Planning, Land Management, Energy Management, Natural Resource Management etc. I just need some job titles to look out for on the search.

If you were to hire me what level would you put me in? For example Planner I, II. Are there any titles i should be looking out for that I might skip over?

Preferably the job will have a GIS aspect as i do love the work, however its gotten to the point where im pushing 30 and still making under 60k so…
