I did not say that it was funny. I was just copy/paste several posts in this thread that have implied that.

Why would you want to trust your national security to someone like me? :coolsmiley: I truly don't think that I have any way to find anything out, short of spending $$$$ on lawyers with unknown results.

- House will definitely need to be updated before selling. Don't know the costs. - I am not considering moving, I am considering extending my job search to potential areas where we could move. It is not the same thing. Some companies (probably not that many) do offer relocation packages. For...

Interesting question. How could someone can actually calculate that number?

Not to leave right now, but to include into the job search.

gift card is definitely "goods". And you are paying fee ("service") for the privilege to buy one.

Are you sure that Boca Raton won't become a wasteland by tomorrow?:coolsmiley:

Does anyone know what are the low COLA areas, but still have plenty of non-government tech jobs/companies? Looking through the job boards, most open positions are in Bay Area and NYC, but in our situation (not too far from FIRE) it would be counter-productive to move to high COLA area.

I've changed it to "questioning my sanity" ;D Gotta be a realist. Sorry, by selling the house, I did not mean that I was about to put house on sale, but rather that my chances of finding a job where I currently live are pretty slim.

There are multiple reasons why I am overthinking this: - Still in shock, since I've lost job < 48 hrs. ago - Never had a formal or phone screening interview in my entire career. Got a job via Co-op / intern out of college and then switched jobs once after a short discussion. I've applied for...

Talked to several head hunters today, who have replied after I've updated my profile / submitted resume on job search sites. Couple of them have asked "that question" and I've replied with my above answer. Don't know either I've passed the sniff test or not, but at least one of them has...
