>over 2,000

Shit, I didn't know the DMV number was so high. I was hearing ~1,100 split between the Richmond and the Mclean Tysons offices.

>Richmond...where such a layoff is more of a body blow

One of my C1 friends moved his family down there post-pandemic and leveraged that Agile org salary to qualify for a mortgage in RVA's [still] red-hot real estate market. He's had at least one offer since the layoff, but the payscales just don't compare and he's headed for a short sale.

I grew up there. Completely agree. I think employers like CoStar and Deloitte move back-office functions there because they face less competition for tech talent.
