yeah MD living isnt bad. What city do you live in? Wish i could ride the metro to my current job, because they give us $130/month for metro transportation.
You don't live here but you are an expert on how our traffic works. It all depends on location the DMV area is big. I already know you must live in a place that isn't in demand, so you wouldn't understand.
@skills Start applying man you never know what opportunities will open up.
I am on the outskirts of "NoVA " and I commute in to Quantico. My wife rides the commuter van and works in Tyson's Corner. Straight out of college, if you and some friends or GF/Fiance/etc aren't splitting a place, then if you are trying to live in the city, your only other real option is to live at home if they are in the area.
Ain't no kid 21/22 making 50-65k living up there on their own. I graduated from GMU and had plenty of friends there with roommates or still at home due to this. It was like a 1BR apartment in Fairfax, near the metro stations would be like $1400-$2000 depending on location and newness
Hell there is a girl at my job now who pays $1400 a month for a 1BR in Stafford now, so who knows what the NoVA prices are now.
It is all your preference and what you are willing to accept to me at the end of the day.
You want to live closer (in the city) and either have a roommate or be more strapped for cash, or.....
You want to live further from the city and commute/drive in to go to work or to hang out with friends and stuff.
I am a country boy by nature, so I choose to live further away with lower costs and drive to work. I am older now and my wife has gotten a better job, so we have thought about moving a little closer just to save on the commute some, but we still not moving all way into the city.
specifically i95 for me.. if i ever go that way.. i have to go in the afternoon before the highway freeze of infinite cars or at night.. if its a bad time like peak hours.. ill take 301 or US1 if i have to go through or in or past the DMV...You don't live here but you are an expert on how our traffic works.

nah man, I take into consideration safety at the highest level. 60k will make it if you have zero to no bills.
and lets not forget gentrification..nah man, I take into consideration safety at the highest level. 60k will make it if you have zero to no bills.
A great safe area is going to cost 1400-1500 with access to the metro area. I make 67k and have school loans/phone bill/rent/
groceries/ going out expenses/CC bills. Do not sell these people some BS reality. Anything below in the 1000-1200 will be
giving up some aspect of your safety/commute/lack of metro to freeway connection. Rent in the DMV (D.C) area is OD, based on
tons of people moving in making money willing to pay whatever for SAFETY, and location to work.
I was saying 60K is fine for recent grads, people that don't have many bills and are fine with living with parents or roommates to get on their feet. Somehow it has turned into the livable wage for people 25+ that don't want to have roommates and obviously don't want to live with parents. Thats not what I was getting at. It is not a bs reality if you are starting out and willing to live within your means you will do just fine.nah man, I take into consideration safety at the highest level. 60k will make it if you have zero to no bills.

I used to make 60-70k. Had a 1500$ rent in DC, 300$ car payment, 60$ cell bill, 100ish electric, 100$ insurance. and was still able to travel, eat good, party, buy clothes, etc.

The only thing that comes to mind is shoretel with the different code indicators
Slack is PERFECT! Thanks. We're gov't too, which means this ticket will likely undergo 6-9 months of review before even being considered for mass implementation. We can sandbox it on our team though, which hopefully will workout. And I cant believe this 1997 piece of kit is worth a billion dollars collectively. Unbelievable.People seem to love Slack. I could never implement it where I work (govt agency, three people in my immediate area alone are retiring) but its been growing like crazy.
