[quote=Anonymous]I’m a federal scientist, and my agency is going through a lot of changes and have pending RIF and reporg. I have some offer for a lateral job for slightly less money, in a city far from DC. We have a freshman in high school and DW has another Fed job (which is terrible right now so happy to quit). We are both in our 50s, so new jobs are hard to come by, and all the leads I have found are outside of the DC area. Should I take the job and we live apart 1-4 years until DC in college? The COL in new locale is just as high, but new job would have better promotion potential so hopefully in 4 years I would be earning enough that DW could just retire in our new area. How do people solve the three body problem — two working adults and high schoolers? Will DC job market eventually get better??[/quote]
