That depends a lot on what you want to do. Silicon Valley is mostly tech. Wall Street is mostly investment/banking.

Although tech companies have finance, it is not the same as working on IB. Just like there are tech jobs in banks, it is not the same as developing software for Goggle, Facebook or startups.

Both have very high cost of living. Wall Street has better public transportation. Some might say Silicon Valley has better weather, never too cold or too hot.

Just location alone is not enough for a decision.
