[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why won't you consider moving to NY?  The NY suburbs are pretty similar to the DC suburbs.  If the issue is your job, would you be able to work remotely?  Anyone I know who has this arrangement got it after working on-site for a while and establishing credibility.  You might be able to arrange this with your job more easily.  If your DH works in finance, there will always be more jobs in NY. [/quote]

We just dont want to live in NY. We love the area here, just bought a house, have family nearby, great friends, and I have a great job.  I also REALLY dont like NY, despite our siblings living up there and its way more expensive.

We wouldnt consider him applying out of state if the HQ wasnt local.  Figure there is a better shot at flexibility when HQ has a group here doing the same type of work, even if this particular position is in NY. I agree that its sort of presumptuous, but in this day and age of flexiplace and telework, it didnt seem like such a big stretch to look into it.[/quote]
