Pros

Well-equipped labs to support your research interest, and smart colleagues to collaborate. If you want to do fancy research, this is definitely the right place for you.

Cons

The living expense in Boston is quite higher compared with in other cities, while the salary for postdoc here is almost same as other cities. Your pocket is empty after paying the food, transportation, and rental.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
