Ever consider relocating? Seriously.

Yes and no. I don't think that I've got the money to do it, and to be perfectly honest, I don't want to move at all, much less to NoVA.

Also, while I think I'm close to the top of the barrel down here (based on my experience working with others), I know I'm not elsewhere (based on my experience conversing online and at LISA), especially NoVA, where there's bound to be a glut anyway. Maybe not.

I'll consider it, I suppose. I just feel like I ought to be able to get more money out of my current employer, especially since I know other folks are making what seems to be a reasonable amount.
