In Reply To: Offered the reston office, im from ny. I already asked to be considered for the NJ or NY office during campus recruiting but they turned it down. 1) Transfering...How soon can I try? how likely is it? Anyone done it (DC->NY) 2) Also ive heard mixed stories about changing my mind after I accecpt... is it do-able? 3) What are the start dates like? How late can I start? is it not a good idea to start super late? Thanks in advance, I know these are things I need to ask the recruiters themselves, but I just wanted to get an unbiased better idea first.
Message: If you live in NY, why did you accept a job that is located in Reston, VA? I can't believe that you have so much trouble finding work that you had to settle for a job in another city. The job recession has pretty much abated. Sure, it's not like it was for IT developers back 5 years ago, but unlike 2002 or 2003, there are jobs out there. If it's because you want to go into government and public sector work, then you will have to accept the fact that a lot of that kind or work will be in the Washington D.C. area. Otherwise, just hang in there. A job closer to home will come up soon. Be patient.
