i'm headed to dc for a final set of interviews for a new job in about a month.
i'm hoping to suss out the organization more so i'll have a clear idea if i want to accept or not should i be offered the job. but, given this is a big cross-country move i also want to do some additional thinking about washington d.c. as a place to live. i've already scoured cost of living calculators, explored housing listings, etc, but looking for a mustachian perspective.
appreciate thoughts from anyone with d.c. living experience, or uplifting for a big city change. a few things i'm wondering about:
--weather. i've always lived on the west coast, so the east coast humidity is intimidating. tips to handle?
--cost of living. although i've examined calculators per above, appreciate any local frugal tips.
--neighborhoods. are there neighborhoods i should explore while i'm in town to get a head start on narrowing a housing search if needed? i don't own a car and would prefer to keep it that way... the job is located downtown.
--reality of uprooting life. i've relocated before, but just up and down the west coast. any questions i should be thinking through? or advice you might have?
thanks!
