   I feel your pain. I will be moving to the Arlington/DC area from San Diego in October after I get married. I will be taking a 9 dollar pay cut. The sad thing is the cost of living is similar , if not more, in Arlington/DC. Sigh.

    I'm 99% sure I got my new grad position because I hand delievered my thank you card to the interviewer. If you can't hand deliver, I suggest mailing it. A hand written thank you card is a way to ensure that the interviewer does not forget you. Goo...
