[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Georgetown and know several people who live in Hillandale. They are all professionals with high incomes, consultants, WB/IMF etc. Noone picked it because of the gated aspect and need for extra security. They just liked the house, the amenities and that it is a fairly quiet green place with a suburban feel in the middle of the city. One of them jokingly refers to it as a "compound". Everyone seems to like living there.[/quote] I wouldn't put high payed professional and WB/IMF (more so WB) in same sentence. They get paid ok (especially given no income tax) but nothing amazing (especially when you take into account years of experience/age, for example a GG is usually in their mid 40s and start around 132k with 180k midpoint which ain't amazing for that age by any means). [/quote] These are NET salaries and Fund salaries are higher than that plus there are the generous expat benefits. Me and my DH are in early 40s and not even at managerial grades yet and our HH income is over 500k when converted to gross terms. Managerial grades make significantly more. I would have thought that even in DC this would be considered a high HHI. [/quote]
