hi,

I have been offered a job in reston, virginia and i am totally clueless as to what is the cost of living and average salary of an entry level candidate in this area. The pay i have been offered is in the range of $60,000 - $65,000/annum. I just want to know if this is the average salary for a software developer in this area? I am not too particular about my place for living, I would mostly go for renting an apartment in the area. As I am single, even my expenses like groceries and electricity etc would be comparatively low. Based upon the taxes in the area and the average income of a software developers, can any one please give me a rough estimate if I would be able to live and work in Reston with salary range $60,000 - $65,000/annum.

thanks in advance,
newemployee

Yup. You would do fine. You could fairly easily afford to throw $1500 a month at an apartment, and that will get you a nice one -- in Reston or in any of the surrounding areas. If you're going to have issues with the area at $60-65K, I'd suspect that they'll be other than financial...
