I knew it lol. I’ll add this then. Being a federal employee in the Philly metro area is a pretty sweet deal. Our locality is less than DC, obviously, but not a lot really and it’s very decent when considering actual cost of living. Plus, there are a lot of agencies with offices in the area, so depending on your series, there’s a lot of opportunities for advancement without having to go to the DC rat race.
