[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a federal contractor with a medium risk of my job ending soon. My company has laid off 20% of it's workforce due to contract terminations and said to brace for more. I work fully remote currently. I have a job offer with another company that actually pays more ($250k/year). I feel very fortunate because I know there are thousands looking for a job in the DMV including friends and former colleagues. This job is 60-90 minutes one-way from my house whether by car or metro and requires 3 days/week in the office. Spouse works in an office close to home 3 days/week and we have two young children. Normally I would not consider this but we need my income and looking at job postings, it seems like very little is fully remote, and the [b]chances of finding a job that pays as much that is 30 minutes or less from my house [/b]seems like a needle in a haystack. Any advice?[/quote]

That depends a bit on where your house is. I live in McLean and in defense.  Not such a stretch to find something along the Dulles corridor.  If you live in Olney, your odds are probably a lot lower.

That said, $250k is pretty good and it's not 5 days a week.  Everyone is tightening up, I'd take it. Especially since it pays more.[/quote]
