Thought I'd pass this along if anyone is in the 'environmental' business and looking. I'm really not sure what sort of life/house the salary gets you in that city though. Here in New England this sort of salary affords one a pretty nice lifestyle.


Feel free to email me for more info (norris-j@att.net) , I can put in a good word if it helps get you in the door for an interview as there are usually hundreds of applicants for these jobs.

Depends where exactly you live in the Sacto area. That salary would be pretty comfortable as long as you weren't wanting to live in Granite Bay (nor'east suburb). But the traffic / commute anywhere in Sacto would be awful, and the 110°F summer heat gets old real fast. I lived there for 8 years. Even a pay package that generous wouldn't get me to move back!!!
