Need some pros/cons. Anyone live in DC? I hear that salary range wont get you much there. The top end you could live "comfy". How is quality of life? Anyone with kids that live there?

Top 3 cost of living in the entire US. 108,000 will have you living in a studio apartment and eating canned vegetables every night.

That won't get you shite out in Loudon which is the county where the ballers live. You could get a shitty condo in Rosslyn or live on H street like the other DC leeches.
If you're young though I'd do it although with kids it will get pricey quick! I thoroughly enjoyed my time in DC

Do you already have the TS?

I live in the eastern panhandle of WV. A few people I know commute to DC. Sucky commute but much more affordable and family friendly.

Say hello to long commute or 1-2 roomies

You could make at least 2X that (probably more) working for a defense or federal contractor in the area if you already have TS/SCI.

Was informed of the Martinsburg line when I first moved there. Thought it was a joke along with the slugging stories and HOV dummies.

Yeah only reason I'd take the job is bc it's within the WH. It's for strategic initiatives manager/director. Supposedly 155 is top max. Still doesn't sound like that would be great with 2 kids in private school.

Make yourself more of a target.

So how much is living comfortably there with a family? 150k?
Posted on 11/15/16 at 7:38 pm to tke857
pay is chump for DC, unless you have strong credentials or an inside straight it isnt worth it.
Posted on 11/16/16 at 8:51 pm to tke857
150K is probably a bit below the median household income in both Fairfax and Montgomery Counties
No need for private schooling in DC area b/c the publics are really good. Private schools in that area are for the really wealthy.
If you live in the burbs, metro'ing each day will be over $10. Not sure how much daily parking is now at the metro stations. Knew a few that lived in VA and used VRE.

I will add that you can make substantial connections in DC, so can look at this as an investment as well.
I thought DC was a great place to live.

Agreed don't listen to people on here re: DC.
It's an absolutely awesome town. But it is horribly expensive.
