If you’re contemplating moving from the DMV to CT, I would advise against it. Imagine a land where everything is just as expensive as DC, yet there is literally nothing to do, and there’s an additional 3 feet of snow per year.

Helpful, thank you. Considering it to be near a significant other and am fearing what you described.

CT Native, don’t do it. I also worked in State government for a session.

Can you give me some reasons why? I’m trying to convince myself CT isn’t a good idea...

All I do is state gov. It can be volatile. I'm being considered for a project in Hartford but have been advised against it because the area sucks

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

Booz Allen Hamilton rescinded my offer because my current firm will not waive the non-compete clause in our employee agreement. It was allegedly a capability hire, and not tied to a particular project.

I work one level above entry level, and really shouldn’t even have such a restrictive non-compete.

I’ve already resigned, and would prefer to be unemployed rather than continue working here.
