IMO getting back and forth from JFK and LGA is easy peasy. Others have covered the cost aspect which IMO is extremely minimal for a job of this income level, especially when you factor in the relative seniority bump NYC gives you. I haven't done in in a few years, but there were tons of specialized crew cabs/vans and of course rideshares and even public transit (did that a couple times and won't again its just not worth the time it takes for the minor savings.

I look at LGA and JFK as true "co-terminals" whereas EWR is a cometely different base to me.

Thanks for all the replies! It's definitely going to make things harder to decide whether to get senior on my NB B or dip my toes into WB B once my seat lock is up.
