[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The tough thing is that if both of you are working it will be hard for both of you to advance in your careers in LCOL areas.  If one of you wants to take a step back, fine.  If not, make sure you move to another area that can support two professional careers.  Remote workers are the ones first fired.[/quote]

Understood- my company had remote workers before it was a thing and is very pro-remote work. I would say 90% of our workforce is hybrid/remote with 30-40% WAH only and the 10% not remote/hybrid choose to be or their job requires them to be in-person.

We could literally live off of my DHs salary in this other area. I'm still a bit flummoxed as to why the pay scale is literally5k less than the DMV pay scale but the COL is 60% of DC. Our combined income would put us in the highest 10% whereas here we are ....not.

My DH wont likely progress past his current 13, for reasons discussed here - pay isnt worth additional workload/supervision and non-supervisory 14 is rare especially in his field. Transition to private sector would be lucrative but golden handcuffs are real.

The area of interest would actually be near a cosmopolitan city with lots of medical resources and very established culture.

I just dont want to be on this hamster wheel of nothing is enough.  :( [/quote]
