I’d hope to work somewhere around the Boston suburbs. I’m also certain that is likely one of the more expensive spots in the state. I’d imagine it’s similar in terms of getting a job in NJ.

I live in southern MA (much closer to Providence than Boston) so I can’t tell you much about that area, but if it’s anything like near me the larger urban districts are pretty much always in need. You may even be able to find open positions right now in them. The smaller/wealthier districts are a bit more competitive.

Every district’s current contract should be at the site below. Obviously a lot to read through but when I was job hunting I skimmed them for salary, class size, prep load, etc.
