Family and Friends vs. Career / City

I’m signed to leave NYC after two years to move back to the city I grew up.

I’ve been having second thoughts if I want to go back this soon. My family and close friends is what’s driving me back home - but I like NYC more and think I would have a better career here.

I know home will always be there for me - but I also know that I wouldn’t have the same experience if I moved back later (e.g., going out w friends as a 25 year old vs. moving back at 30). Also family is getting old.

How should I decide?
