AWESOME. 1200+ people, spectacular layout, steak and lobster dinner, open bar, and the entertainment? They got CHICAGO to come in and play for us. Pretty awesome. They rocked the house, everyone was awe struck. I have never been to a company party like that before (or any party for that matter), ball gowns, tuxes, Kilts, amazing.
Anyway....just thought I would share.

Dan let me know when you start looking for a job. This company is amazing. There is so much brain power here, they could "will" someone to the moon.
But Dan be aware that in the DC Metro Area its about 3 times as expensive to live here. For instance a 2 bedroom condo in Montgomery County/Fairfax County starts at the 190K range. Thats a CONDO!!!! A Townhouse? You are looking at $275K, single family home? $380K and up. Its stupid sick is what it is. But LOTS of stuff to do.
Posted by Doug 97SS #1499 (Member # 100) on :
Oh one more thing Dan, I am in PA right now. I am from Millersburg PA, along the Susquehanna River, Just look for RT. 209.

Awesome, I will definitely keep that in mind Doug. Maybe starting this coming fall perhaps. I'll have my BS in Finance and alread have an AA in Business Administration. Yeah, it's quite pricey down there. I dont mind a bit of a drive. In the Harrisburg area, I can get a NEW townhouse for around $100-130k hehe I'll have to float down the river and meet up with ya, hah. Will defintiely keep your company in mind, come this summer!!

That seems pretty cheap to me.. then again im in Orange County (SoCal) were housing went up 20% just last year Posted by Doug 97SS #1499 (Member # 100) on :
Sounds good Dan. I live in Germantown MD now, along I-270. There are so many jobs down here its just finding the right company. It all depends where you want to live though. Personally if I could do my job and live in PA I would.
Also, I wish I was in a position to buy your SS! ARGH!!!

Well keep in mind thats at the bottom of the pricing list. If you want a Garage town home? Or a 2 car garage home? Forget it, I don't know how people do it. Whats a mortgage payment on a $450,000 home (which by the way is what a condo sells for in Alexandria VA.)

Well at 5.5% for 30 years and assuming the average property tax and insurance withholding (to impound account..) about $2,500 per a month Posted by Doug 97SS #1499 (Member # 100) on :
Damn Steve!! Thats crazy!!!! Holy crap!! I need to move! Posted by DanPazich (Member # 1352) on :
Wowie, I'd be lucky to get a mortgage for $100k....although I DO work at a bank In the meantime, I'll continue to live at home and safe up! Best way to do it Posted by Matt B (Member # 1651) on :
