[quote=Anonymous]I worked for a company that transferred me from Houston to DC. They move people all the time, so they had a formula in place for dealing with these things. I received about a 20 percent bump in salary plus a super generous relo package. And Houston is cheaper than Philly (having lived in both.) So OP, I'd suspect that your hoped-for $130k is unlikely. In terms of house size and commute, much depends on whether you have kids, how much emphasis you put on "good" schools, where you are commuting to, etc. But in the equivalent of a Main Line suburb (only a bit closer), 2000 sq ft can run you an easy $1m to buy. That doesn't mean you'll only get a house that big if you pay $1m, but you will have to accept compromises on school, commute, and/or other factors.[/quote]
