Yes! Many times. Not so much me but my wife and kids would never leave this town.

I don’t have a wife or kids. For me most of my friends and family are here, but it feels like the jobs I want are always in other states...particularly DC

Moving is easy! Just do it. If you don’t like it move back

A move isn’t a life sentence. Try out a few different cities while your biggest hassle with moving is getting Comcast to turn off your service. It broadens your perspective, grows your network, and helps you determine the lifestyle you truly want to live rather than falling into the same things out of habit and because that’s what everyone around you is doing

Nope. I travel for work.

Mine is the opposite. Want to relocate to another city but I like the work in my home state more. Just don't like my current city.

I'm on hold until my son graduates from HS in June, then we're free to relocate. OP, if you can, go for it.

What are your thoughts on DC?
