[quote=Anonymous]I love Chicago - and I think it would be easy to settle there.  People are much friendlier there and more open.  My BFF of 25 years lives there.  I would generally move there in a heartbeat.

In your position, I would take pause.  If you're really in your dream job, I'd want to have a good long talk with DH about his dream job vs. yours.  Are your respective jobs a once-in-a-lifetime chance?  What's the pay differential?  Would moving give you a dramatically improved quality of life. (COL is probably about the same if not higher in Chicago)  Are either one of you able to get a similar dream job in DC/Chicago respectively.  I also would be concerned that your resume would take more of hit if you left your job in such a short time.  (Easily explained in person and understandable - if you get an interview)

Another option is for him to commute for year.  You can get easy, quick flight back and forth from Chicago.

This is a really hard decision - for me, there would have to be some tremendous benefits [i]for the family[/i] to make the move.
