*PS: promotions in govt jobs= less work. Go for it.

Forget about less work. If you are relocating from Roanoke to Fairfax, you will need MORE MONEY!

A ton more. But I assume you will get more, considering I'm sure if the job is in Fairfax, the cost of living would be included.

It's one of the benefits of living in Southwest Virginia, low cost of living that we enjoy compared to everyone else.

The state does adjust its payscales for employees in Northern Virginia due to the cost of living.

Found out I didn't get it, they went with someone more tenured and experienced, and also in that office lol. 99.9% don't get this position the first time they apply, and I have gained valuable interview experience and insight into it, and I will go for it again.

I did not get the exact position I interviewed in Norfolk for, but I came in 2nd. They just had another one step down, and I got a job offer. I'm close to accepting, so pray the living situation and house situation works itself out. I have until Monday to decide.
