I heard that the less I work, the more government aid I get. And the more kids I have they get aid too! Plus 2 ObamaPhones per kid!!

Besides Capital One and FBR, does anyone have any suggestions on any companies/orgs in the DC area that have financial svs work? I know there are the govt sector jobs (Treasury, Fed, SEC, IFC, World Bank, etc.) but these seem incredibly hard to even access- would also love advice on how to get your foot in the door at these. Any advice/info appreciated- thank you.

I made the same move in 2000. Don't forget that you're not comparing apples to apples when looking at comp package. I took a 75% pay cut to move home, but my new lifestyle was comparable. It is so much cheaper & more pleasant to live here. Good luck!
