Arlington - Ballston, Clarendon or Crystal City. Reston, Falls Church, Tyson. What is her budget? Will she have access to a car? Will she travel for work? May be able to better guide you / her with more information.

The SW Waterfront is the hottest new area in the city these days. Plenty of luxury buildings and she won’t even need to spend anything close to $4k. If she’d rather be in an older, more established neighborhood with more “interesting” architecture, I’d check out Capitol Hill from 2nd St to 12th St, or the West End, Penn Quarter/NoMa, Dupont Circle, Woodley Park, Cleveland Park, or Georgetown.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

DMV employers with reasonable hiring programs- What large employers in the area who hire mid-senior level tech-adjacent consulting talent have the most reasonable hiring practices? A friend of mine tried to refer me to a job and their recruiter told me to expect anywhere from 4-9 rounds of interviews before a decision is made. F that! Please share your own experiences- what employers do this, and which ones recognize there comes a time when you’re just wasting the time of your potential recruits
