I am looking at my job offers that I have to choose between by next week. They are located in Raleigh NC, Orlando FL and Marietta GA. I was really excited to see I was offered about 15% more in Raleigh than the other two and I thought it would be great. The offer is still good but after running some cost of living calculators it looks like Raleigh is 15-20% more expensive than the others. Can anyone with experience in one or more of the cities weigh in? I can't believe Raleigh is so much more expensive than one of the nicest metro Atlanta suburbs and Orlando. However the average home price there is listed at 313k vs 250 at the others.
