It would be a paycut for the first year but an increase in one year and another a year after that. Should he take it now, or wait it out for a higher paying position, or should we both look for new jobs so we don't have to move, or what??? Oh, we have to make this life-altering decision by this afternoon.
As you know, once you get your foot into the door with the Gov't you have a better chance at transferring to another area within the Gov't than to simply get a job in your area. Maybe you could move back to NJ with a transfer in a few years if you really want to get back there. Are both of your positions readily available in other government agencies?
