It shouldn't be very expensive to live in NJ right? I would go for it!
50k is pretty good!

These days who you work for is a flexable thing. Gone are the days when you had a job for life. Take this if it is a good deal but don't think you can't move on to something better in a year or so if something comes along.

Take the job... Then I can have someone I can ask some DBA questions when i get stumped.

What are the benefits involved? Medical Insurance, On-call rotation, overtime, moving expenses, room for advancement? I suppose $50K sounds good for a DBA job, but don't forget about all these other deciding factors.

Congrats on the job offer though!

Does the job require a clearance and do you have one? Having a clearance is like having most of the certs put together especially when you get a TS or above. I got a $20k increase in pay when I jumped to a job that gave me a TS. Was great! I suggest everyone find a job like that... lol
