[quote=Anonymous]I think if your husband found a new job in DC or VA and your family moved to NoVa near your job, that your stress level would go way down. You’d have more time with your family and a shorter commute. So I would focus on that. Does your agency do an alternate work schedule? Either 4x10’s or a day off every other week - that would be more doable with a shorter commute as well. I completely understand basically not being able to give up the Fed job and benefits because my husband is in the same boat. We need the insurance his job provides and with the uncertainty and instability in the private sector, that is a trade off we’ve made ... a longer commute and lesser pay than the private sector, in exchange for much better insurance and more stability in general and with insurance plans in particular. Also get the challenges that come with a clearance job as my husband simply can’t telework - it’s not allowed at any TS clearance agency. [/quote]
