MFH is unlivably expensive, but DC is there too nowadays. MFH has much better transportation (driving in dc is godawful, and public transit is a nonoption unless you live right above a metro stop and take the subway to and from work). but your quality of life in MFH on less than 400k will be so low, especially if you actually work for a living, who the fuck cares.

|
Date: June 21st, 2014 12:17 AM Author: disturbing pistol It's not that I think GS-14 is a bad gig (I was being mean above), I would just struggle everyday in government work at a certain age. Get to 14, early 30s or something, the work gets repetitive, you're locked into DC and your fed gig, and then what? 30 years of the same? Still no guarantee you'll be a 15? I've seen so many perma-feds and there's just something dead about them.
I would need that little rabbit to chase, just a little bit, to make me want to go to work each morning. |

|
Date: June 21st, 2014 12:24 AM Author: disturbing pistol What are those traits?
Not doobs, blah blah, but are you in a good agency or at least one that interests you? Or was it just a job that happened to come to you? |
|
Date: June 21st, 2014 12:29 AM Author: Bonkers House I don't think I have the work ethic to survive in the private sector. I'm smart enough to be above-average at my BIGFED job, but the amount of work and the expectations of my managers are such that I can get by on mostly my intelligence alone.
I'm also cheap and lack expensive tastes, so I'm better equipped to survive on a GS-14 salary than somebody who needs to ball out of control at the club regularly and eat organic food.
Most importantly, though, I have the "work to live" mentality. I have ambitions, but those ambitions don't have to be at work. I'm perfectly fine doing something I'm not passionate about during 9-5 five days a week in order to fund my real passions during the weekends or in the evenings. |
|
Date: June 21st, 2014 1:01 AM Author: Self-absorbed cruel-hearted potus principal's office To me there are only 2 credited lifestyles: 1. work a job you dont care for in order to enjoy life (ie make enough so enjoy simple things but more importantly have the time/lack of stress to enjoy them) 2. work a job you really enjoy but the money can be whatever, the hours can be whatever
At least for the time being I will do neither but hopefully land in 1 or 2 |

NYC's big advantage is that the women are much hotter, so if you're more desirable you'll get better results. |
