So much to touch upon but I'll start with the OP's main question: Should he consider moving to DC for 3x the salary?
Whew, even for the 3x the money and utilizing the airport-every-weekend strategy, I have to say it's close. I still might not do it. I wrote a post on this yesterday. Thankfully, I'll be leaving DC in my rearview mirror for NYC quite soon:

Now, as many above have noted, you can just bank that money over a few years and head straight to the airport every weekend. (G was right about that. The aviation links, both domestic and international, are superb and get you anywhere worldwide. Union Station is convenient too, and you're in NYC within 3.5 hours. Though there aren't women to match, the standard of living in DC is high. I'll give it that.)
The airport strategy is precisely the life I've lived for four years. I've had some wonderful experiences and snared plenty of talent in some fun spots. I look back and have some awesome memories. But they're all outside of DC. That's insane.
Life doesn't need to be that way. Trust me, you might have more cash in the bank, but I assure you it gets old having to get on an airplane everytime you want to bang an 8+.
I did see a couple guys on here say they were content with DC and could get laid here. But every time, they leave quality out of the picture. Sure, you can get laid in DC. We've all done it. Roosh has covered this well many times. Remember, the question isn't whether you can get laid.
The overriding question in the prime of a young man's life, for me at least, is whether you can
consistently rotate several 8s and 9s within your desired target market. Period. If you are unable do that in your city, I would tell you it's time to relocate to a place where you can.
Of course, I've banged a couple 8's here, even had a half-decent rotation of two 8's and a 7.5 going last summer. (For DC, that's actually quite an achievement). But again, that's not consistent. Therefore, it's not enough.
I know the money is tempting. But it's not worth that much here. Trust me, I want for nothing. I have all the logistics. Spacious one bedroom dead-center of town, rooftop pool, car, private parking, all the amenities, you name it. Never once has it been a deciding factor in whether I closed a girl.

I think hating on D.C. is played out and tired, it's the trendy thing to do on this forum, just like railing against "feminists". In all reality it's not that bad, and a lot of guys who are whining about D.C. would probably be whining just about any place they're at. Sorry if that offends anyone, but it's more or less the truth.
OGNorCal - Always enjoy your posts man. I understand your take on many of the posters on DC. You probably feel many of them, perhaps myself included, are merely bitching with a "grass is greener" attitude, that these are just guys who'd be unhappy anywhere they were. Not true. It really is that bad. (Although with my regular travels, I can say with conviction -- The grass is indeed greener).
Personally, I think why you see so much hate for DC on here is that it simply doesn't reward cold, hard game in the manner of other cities. It's that simple.
DC is EXTREMELY slanted towards social circle pickup. Are there 9's here? Yes. But 95 percent of the time, they're banging someone within their own social circle. They didn't get picked up. I hear guys ask all the time: Could you "work your way" into one of these G'town or Capitol Hill-oriented circles? Sure, I've spent far too much time in both places and can say with confidence, it simply isn't worth the effort required.
I am one of the most optimistic people you'll ever meet. Anything can be done. Want to rotate models? Date some hot actresses in LA? You can do it. People do it every day, and they're really no different than you. People do it. That means you can do it.
I am also an avid gambler. I know odds, and react to odds. And I know that you have an exponentially better shot at regularly snaring 8+ level quality when you're out of DC. Girls (even 6's) in this city have an attitude that is downright toxic compared to many cities.
Thus, if you're trying to game a 9, she simply WILL NOT respond in the same fashion a 9 will in, say, regular cities like Nashville or Charlotte. Even in New York, I've noticed a pronounced difference.
I'd really like some posters on here that have never been to DC to get here for one night only and try to pull an 8 on a random night. You'd be floored and it would be entertaining to hear the input. Ha, on second thought I have a better idea. Let's just all go out in Vegas.
As always - See you at the airport.
