If I was starting at GS4 step 1, I would take a pay cut, and my rent would go up. From my current place to the new job, would be a 1 hour 45 minute drive, so I would have to move. I currently live with a roommate in his house, so its month to month, but I'm not sure if I could take a pay cut and see my housing cost rise at the same time.
