[quote=Anonymous]Similar situation: laid off in DMV and got a good job offer in NYC. We had an elementary school kid and my spouse can WFH. We chose to move to NYC instead of “super commute”. Together we now make about 500K, and I’d say it’s about equal (excepting the fact you have to get used to a small apartment with no yard and owning a place is not as important in NYC) to living on 250K in DMV. I like our small apartment on Roosevelt Island now and the kid loves public school. Another benefit is that if you are laid off again, there are many more job opportunities in NYC. The increased job opportunities also make “job hopping” to get a better salary somewhat easier, as there were fewer opportunities in the DMV in my field.[/quote]
