[quote=Anonymous]We have nice, settled lives in DC, with 2 kids (one in ES), manageable jobs (govt/non-profit lawyers) and commutes (upper NW DC home near metro).  We've lived in DC for over 10 years.  DH is being recruited for an in-house position in Chicago that's sort of a dream job.  It's in an industry he is very interested in and would allow him to practice his specialty.  The issue is that I am sort of at my dream job right now, which I just moved into earlier this year and will be an intense period of work through the next year and a half.  There is a small possibility I could pitch doing my job 100% remotely, but probably not until after this "intense" period is over.

Would you make the move? Winters in Chicago sucks.  I assume traffic/commute is bad from the 'burbs and living in the city, you have the schools issue.  I'm not sure lifestyle-wise, moving to Chicago would be an improvement.

Is it easy to meet new people? Truth be told, even after living here for 10 years, we just have a lot of superficial friendships and most of our close friends have moved away.[/quote]
