Please excuse the aside but of all the posts here that I wish were marked REMOTE this one tops the bill. We (Americans) need this org to succeed, but DC is simply not an option for many people.
I worked in DC while living in the suburbs of Maryland. The DC metro is far from perfect, but it's really not a terrible option. The bus system is also decent.
Obviously a strong remote program is even better, but very unlikely for government work.
I don’t think your parent comment was saying DC was bad. He/she was just saying that it’s not an option for everyone to uproot and move and he/she wishes the listing was remote friendly.
