VA. Arlington. It’s on the metro and you can get a place for a car.

As a Floridian can’t ever imagine actually living in DC proper. The apartments are crappy.

Arlington for living, DC for going out!

Depends if you want a roommate or not and where in the DMV. DC? Maryland? Virginia?

DuPont Circle is fantastic. I used to have an apartment at The Croydon. Reasonable rent and close to everything in NW

Funny I'm leaving the dmv to move to Florida

If you want to live on your own, you can expect to pay upwards of $2k/month for a decent (not luxury) 1 BR in a Metro-accessible building in Arlington or Alexandria. In DC, depending on neighborhood, a little more. If you have a car, I’d avoid DC bc your insurance will be $$$$. Getting a roommate would open up more possibilities in nicer buildings for similar pricing.

Do you WFH? I may have a place for you.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
