Use this link to compare the cost of living in Jersey City to your current location. It'll help you figure out if the extra $40,000 is actually a pay raise or not.

Jersey City is really, really expensive.

Also, you might want to look into software engineering work in Washington, D.C. or it's surroundings, specially the contractor companies for the DOD. Their pay and benefits are much nicer than this offer. You'd have to live in Maryland or Northern Virginia, though. Which is cheaper than Jersey City, but the traffic is worse.
