I was in NYC for 10 years before moving to DC last summer, this post makes mebecause it's real shyt. I've already told my family I'm leaving this city in 2016. It's a good city but no way I can be here anything but short term
I lived in DC for 4 years before coming back to Philly last summer, so I know that city very well. Even with the black population, its a world of difference. Black people in the Philly area are either hood/grimy or suburban but, either way are still down to earth and normal people. The local black people in DC are cool but, the buppies man......the buppies are some of the most plastic hollywood people you'll ever meet. It felt like the Matrix down there, either I stayed true to myself or transform into one of them to adapt.
I love New York though. Just went there in March. My girl wants to go up there too, so I will likely be moving there in the near future. Get outta DC man

Before moving here I had a 2 year plan to stay here before going back to the GOAT city. DC has its culture, but the fact that bothers me the most about this city is that this is such a one note city, the lack of diversity in personality is wearing me out

Get in on the entry level. I got into the IT field 2 years ago with an IT Customer service job. They hired me based off my customer service background and figured they can teach you the technical part if you know your way around a PC. Considering I built PCs I know computers inside and out just never had professional experience doing it. BTW, to get hired I lied my ass off on my resume. I changed all my job positions to IT related jobs when they were just admin/customer service jobs (I knew that I would know the IT side because I know computers).
Got hired then I got two certs the company paid for me to take to get certified in the software I troubleshoot. After 8 months got a raise and moved up to SR rep and now I'm assistant team lead. Once I updated my linkedin page with my experience I get recruiter calls every month for 1 year contracts with big name companies. I could move on to better positions in my company or go elsewhere but right now I released an independent hiphop album (I pressed up with my money from IT) I am currently going around the country performing at various shows my manager setups. Plus I'm getting hired by real estate companies in Raleigh to shoot commercials because of my video editing skills so I stick with the company I'm with right now because I don't know how seriuos I am about this IT shyt when other shyt is starting to pop right now.

Like most cities where there's a dominant industry and a surplus of competition, it's common to believe that your career or alma mater makes you a better person—which is dumb, because Arianna Huffington went to Cambridge, and Donald Rumsfeld went to Georgetown and Princeton.
This is the attitude that allows individuals to coast on their reputation, their family connections, their wealth, or all of the above. When was the last time the president didn't have an Ivy League education? Reagan? OK, maybe a bad example, but the point is that DC rewards those who are already successful, and as shown by the poverty stats, doesn't really give a damn about those who haven't made it. So if you aren't a big shot, it's helpful to pretend you are.
The city is full of the kind of people who claim they’re best friends with Senator Ron Wyden, because they know a person who has a business card of another person, who is mutual friends with his neighbor. Worse than that are the people who say that they’re hanging out with Representative Keith Ellison when they’re actually sitting eight rows back at some pep rally for immigration reform.
Washington DC Is Just Los Angeles for Ugly People
The same rules of status, image, and networking apply here as in LA. Washington is consumed with who is eating at what restaurant, who is dating whom, what kind of home you own, and how powerful your publicist is. But instead of celebrities drunk-driving and trying not to be noticed in public, we have Mitch "Turtle Face" McConnell. DC's ruling class isn't going to be on the cover of French Vogue anytime soon.
