I recently started a new job earning $85k, and I'm currently living with my parents without having to pay rent. However, I received a job offer for $115k in the DC area, which is appealing but comes with the hefty cost of living—rent there averages around $2k a month. The DC position seems to be in a more secure industry, which adds to my dilemma. I'm feeling anxious about the thought of moving, especially since I fear it might jeopardize my current job. I recognize that this is a privileged situation, especially considering I spent 12 months searching for my current role. I'm torn between the potential for a better salary and the anxiety of relocating and the financial implications that come with it.
