Any recommendations for finding good deals in Midtown and Lower Manhattan? Rent skyrocketed in the past year and finding a two bedroom is becoming overwhelming.

Any tips to score a good deal? Won’t move in until August, hoping that’s somewhat off peak szn to make a difference

D2 my issue is that I find most bedrooms in this price range to be claustrophobic, if I’m 100% WFH having a bedroom I can be comfortable in while working and relaxing would be amazing

You’re way too early. Start looking in July

Would agree with this. But also just check nonstop (I know that sounds crazy). Every once in a while there’s a good deal posted and if you’re first to contact your chances are that much higher

What site do you use to look for places?

Zillow, trulia, and StreetEasy

It's def not going to be cheaper in August, that's primetime. I suggest looking in Brooklyn or Harlem

You should probably start looking in Brooklyn. Plus, as far as I know, prime season begins in July, so it's unlikely that you’ll get a good deal in August.

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college.

But is this a good idea or too risky?

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
