[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -

To be clear, it’s my DH parents. And we would consider flying them over every month to see their grandchildren. All other family is in NYC area and we do get together every three months - we’ve always been cross country.

Since we are both in big tech, the move in consideration is also a safety net. A lot of our jobs are going back to Hub and RTO. And there just isn’t another career field (apart from Med or big law big lobby) that can pay as well as Big Tech here in DC. The career advancement and opportunities are limited. In the Bay Area, tech companies are plentiful.[/quote]

So this is a good idea but as people get older it can get harder to travel

We visited my in laws 3x a year together (my husband went alone 2-3x and then took kids 1x in his own) and we used to pay for them to come out to visit us 3x a year.  We don’t make your salary but we paid for business class tickets for them the last few years too.  The last 18 months they only came once.  My MIL had some health issues and is nervous to be away from her doctors and my FIL never liked to travel.  This is an active woman who loved to travel.  So keep that in mind.  They live by my SIL so see those grandkids a ton.  Also traveling from VA to California is a long ride especially for older people.  If you do it but business class tickets if you can afford it way ahead of time.

Have you looked at Cambridge MA?  Lots of tech there and closer to family.  [/quote]
