[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting hearing someone with a HHI of $300k worry that they won't have the opportunity to advance in their career, if they leave DC. It makes me wonder if some of this debate really comes to - are you a type A person who wants to achieve and earn and keep pushing, or are you a type B who wants a more laid back lifestyle. Type A, sure - staying in DC could seem very important. Type B - leaving and having more free time and a nice house but less chance of hitting it HUGE one day seems plenty good. [/quote] I think that's part of it, though it's a bit more nuanced than that. For example, I'm a Fed, and my work is both way more interesting and way more socially valuable than it would be in most other places I could live. There are many ways that I could make more money (here and elsewhere), but I wouldn't get as much pleasure out of doing it, so I'm disinclined to leave.[/quote]
