[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=js426][quote=Anonymous][quote=js426][quote=Anonymous]OP - is this a new job or has he been transferred? Is there any chance he was transferred in an effort to get him to find his way out of the org? If so I would re evaluate any moves.

I think your best options are Baltimore suburb/au pair or he takes the train & keeps a contingency car in DE in case of emergency, last option would be he keeps a midweek apartment and only comes home on weekends. [/quote]

We are currently doing NY-DC long distance where I do the weekly commute to/from DC Mon-Thursday. He decided to transfer close to DC and Delaware is the closest... :oops:

Eventually we both know this will get old, so he would have to find other opportunities (because my job is tied to DC), but for now we wanted to give this DE-DC arrangement a shot.[/quote]

What's your salary and job field?  You mention rent being high in some areas, so I assume your salary is not very high.  Could you find a similar salary at a job closer to DE?[/quote]

No advice for OP, but it floors me sometimes when people tell other people "of course theres is a job for you in town X" when they hardly know anything about the field the person they are talking to is in, among other things.

I'm in the international development field so no job prospects in DE... My salary is not that high (low 100k) but high enough where I don't want to quit my job  :lol: [/quote]

What???????????????????????THERE IS BIG BUSINESS IN DELAWARE.  There are chemical companies (big ones), poultry companies, Gore and Assoc, pharmaceutical companies 
(big ones)
Mom's neighbor is in charge of international poultry business for one of the poultry companies.  He has a $600,000 waterfront house on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland
and they drive nice rides. Delaware is flush with international business.  And yes, poultry from Delaware is exported to countries in Africa.  [/quote]

This isn't international development. International development means working with NGOs (or sometimes for-profit contractors) that implement projects to improve quality of life/reduce poverty etc. in developing countries. Think Save the Children. [/quote][/quote]
