[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- I am not opposed to moving... I love our DC life aside from anxiety about money which would be resolved moving to a lower COL area.  I also wouldn't mind a slower pace and the feeling of perceived competition.  It would be with a pharma/device type company and would be a great landing place since it isn't bottom of the barrel in house.  I just am exhausted from our last move and buying a house and uprooting so fast seems like a pain.  I currently work in education, so may be able to get a job at one of the universities near there (Layfayette or Lehigh) if my position became available.[/quote]

What year associate is your DH? Is it really soooo hard to save in DC on a mid level/senior associate type salary? Maybe it's because I moved from NYC, I just don't find it sooooo costly here.

That being said, if he wants to go in house in pharma/device and start of relatively senior, yeah you're going to have to move. There are companies randomly in Pa. but most of the bigger ones are in NJ or Mass. -- also not super cheap places to live and also fairly competitive. So if COL and pace of life is a huge issue, central Pa. may be your best bet.[/quote]
