[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The tough thing is that if both of you are working it will be hard for both of you to advance in your careers in LCOL areas. If one of you wants to take a step back, fine. If not, make sure you move to another area that can support two professional careers. Remote workers are the ones first fired.[/quote] Soft disagree. My husband is a highly valued remote worker (specialized software engineer working for a federal IT contractor): he would make the same salary in DC, and his salary goes much further in our flyover state. DC is the only other place he’d be able to do his work. I have been able to advance precipitously in my field (healthcare), because I’m talented - yes - and also because the talent pool is much smaller. Things to consider. Also my husband has been fully remote since covid and his company just firmed up their next 5yr contract with remote terms intact. [/quote]
