[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a large tech company and one of our savings "strategies" is to try to con employees in less busy LCOL areas to transfer to HCOL areas. We dangle a pay raise in front of them and they often take the bait. We still end up paying them much less than we would have to pay a local market candidate. Then they end up working much harder (b/c there is more work to do in DC) for what turns out to be lower quality of life. My boss thinks this is genius; I think its a crappy way to treat employees. Oh, and in our company it is incredibly hard to transfer from DC out into the hinterlands.

Anyway, I would be surprised if your DH could double his pay. What is his industry? [/quote] government IT[/quote]
That's my industry too. If he's a director level he might make 175K-180K at a bigger firm. Niche knowledge could bring it up a bit. He will have to do a lot of BD work, and bust his ass at least 60 hours a week. The minute his "coverage" ends he will get 2 to 6 weeks to find a job then he's out on his ass. The govt IT industry here is cutthroat. You have very little security.[/quote]
