[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would I hate there independent of the salary? The total income is 120k both. His job offer is around 60k[/quote]

It's a very, very different place.  People are just not as cordial here as they are in central Florida.  It's much more like Miami.  Everyone lives in a bubble.  Drivers are really nuts.  Also, you have a young child; I hope you got on the daycare waitlist within 10 minutes of when you met your husband.

Setting aside the money, you might like it, you might not.  My "$600k" comment was just that I know people with money here who hate it.  Becuase this is a very different place.  I would not take less money to come here for any government job just to hang out with *swanky* DC professionals.  You pretty clearly learn that that everyone cares where everyone went to college.

$120k is more doable.  But it's still tough here.  It just is.  You will not be buying a decent house anywhere near a metro.  [/quote]

The drivers are not as nuts here as Miami. They are just as erratic and unpredictable, but here they are going at 30 mph vs. 90 in Miami.[/quote]
