[quote=Anonymous]The hilarious thing about this to me is that we're talking about DC here. Not NYC or LA or SF, but DC. I moved to DC 20 years ago specifically because it was NOT those cities. It was cheaper, easier to get around, less intense. I was graduating law school and actually summered at a NYC firm and had multiple offers from CA firms (I'm from there) but DC felt more chill and I wanted a "smaller pond." And DC is STILL a smaller pond than any of those places, but I think that's part of the problem. Instead of embracing that fact, people in this area resent it and have a big chip on their shoulder, and get even more competitive because they don't want anyone looking down on them because their from DC. Ugh. Whooooo Caaaaaaares. People from NY and LA look down on everyone, FYI. Anyway, we are leaving and I'm relieved. Heading to an even smaller pond, but one that embraces that fact instead of being insecure about it.[/quote]
