Ballston.
Bc I live here and it has everything I need but also driveable and fun.

Old Town Alexandria, Clifton, Reston/Lake Anne area, Leesburg

I live in Shirlington/Fairlington. Convenient, affordable, quaint, almost too quiet (and very safe). Also a big fan of Delray, Old Town, and the Orange Line Corridor from Rosslyn to Ballston.

Love Ballston too

Clifton, Great Falls, Old Town Alexandria, Falls Church

Lived in rosslyn for 3 years, ballston for 6 years, and Alexandria for 2 years. Ballston was my favorite.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
