[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved here for DH's job.  His increase was both a jump in hierarchy and pay (about a 40% increase).  His goal is to climb, so it made sense in that regard too.  How about your DH's job change?  Does it come with possibilities for advancement too?

Added benefit for us is that while I don't work now (young kids at home), it will hopefully be relatively easy for me to find something in the DC area if I decide to start working again, vs elsewhere.[/quote]

Yes definitely. Dh is a statistician. The job in nc has little advancement as the university doesn't have a ms or PhD program. It's a small liberal arts university. [/quote]

Then I think, if his goals are to advance and the DC job offers him that opportunity and the NC one does not, then that is a big non-monetary reason to move here and take the hit in finances and COL as a sacrifice for the long run.  It will definitely be tight though.  Mostly because of housing + childcare.[/quote]

For 15K per year less, I would gladly take a TT position.  First, it is a 9 month salary.  He can get something for 3 months during the summer.

Second, if he gets tenure, he is set.  Since it is not a research school, tenure is based on his teaching ability.  I assume this is elon.[/quote]
