Maybe you can help me.

Life is really testing me at the moment. I have not been around much lately
and may not be around an awful lot in the coming months and could use some help.

I was wondering if anyone lives in the Baltimore, Maryland area? Life is dictating that I sell my home, quit my job and move to Maryland. If you live in that state i would appreciate being able to ask you different questions from time to time.

The most pressing thing I have on my agenda at the moment is to find a really
good job down there. I need something in the 50k range in order to support my family. Please let me know if you have any ideas or thoughts about good employers in the area.

I am sad to be leaving New York but there are other things more important than
the warm comfy feeling my life long home provides me with.

Thanks

Many a moon ago, I lived in Maryland, not too far from Baltimore. It can be a fun town. Inner Harbor has been nicely redeveloped. If you haven't already, I strongly suggest trying http//www.monster.com (hope I did this right). That's how I got my current job two years ago (and I STILL get alerts from them). Nice to have options.

They also have one of those thingies where you can get a pretty good comparison in the cost of living between where you are now and where you are planning to move.

While not as extensive as NY City, Baltimore also has decent public transportation so you could probably live in the suburbs and commute with little hassle.

Best of luck guy. Been there, done that, may be doing it again...

My cousin lived in Baltimore for about 5 years. She worked at Pimlico Race Track. She didn't make 50K. However, her husband worked in Washington DC and made that much programming for the Defense Department. The commute to DC was pretty smooth. You might consider DC if you can't find a job that is exactly what you want in Baltimore.

I visited my cousin in Baltimore. It was a fun town. The harbor area is really cool. Lots of neat shops. Not at all like your average strip mall. We also took a day into DC. I think the drive was bout 45 minutes, but you could check that. It was a fun vacation.

Good luck.
