[quote=Anonymous]OP, the truth is, high COL places don't pay significantly higher when you are already at a high range of salary for your lower COL area.  Even if you get equivalent job in NYC or Bay Area you are not likely to make much more and you definitely won't double your salary.  Please think about the motive of your move.  Do you want to move because you are getting slightly more money?  Or is the real reason is that you want to experience new pastures and you want to explore?  it is silly for you to take this offer if you are mostly concerned about money and are happy living where you are.  If your place offers you what you need then stay there, you will save a lot less here.  Only move here because you want to and if you don't find DC attractive option and can't understand why it would be different, maybe it's not the place for you.  I didn't understand from any of your posts what exactly you are looking for and what would make a city attractive for you or interesting or worth moving to.  Don't know what you are looking for really.  You sort of have to have an open mind when you explore different places and take the good with the bad.
