Any tips for renting on Craig’s List? I’ve never used it before, but am looking for a month-to-month furnished place, which is harder to come by, so branching out. I found a place in Georgetown that seems perfect, but the platform makes me nervous.

Don’t be nervous, it’s a very common way to rent.

Don’t send any money or important info before seeing the place first.

If a deal seems too good to be true, it’s probably a scam

Common way to rent in DC but if it’s too good to be true, probably is! Also check the place out first before signing anything or submitting personal info

I found my roommates on Craigslist. I think the normal common sense rules apply. If it’s too cheap it’s probably a scam. Bring a friend to the tour if you want.

Also check out Facebook. There’s a million housing groups and that at least has the benefit of having a profile attached to it.

Really common in DC to rent via Craigslist

Thanks everyone! I actually found something great on Facebook. Just have to get used to parallel parking now 😬

Use Airbnb

I find myself in a weird place. No STEM degree but have been working in data science for years. I’ve built data science teams/programs. However, I probably wouldn’t hire myself based education, and recently didn’t get an offer after final round with an Amazon research group. I suspect lack of a PhD despite seemingly doing well in interviews. So continue with data science and get a masters or pivot to something else?

Does anyone have other suggestions on training/credentialing in this area?

Hi how much in hand for 15LPA. 1.5lac is variable.

Can we be honest for a second? No one has a clear policy for how we should be billing our time and no one wants to ask. I’ve heard perspectives ranging from, “a good faith estimate at the end of the week is sufficient” to “you need to have a timer going at all times and if you don’t turn it off when you pee, you’re committing an ethical violation”... also, “Bill anything that moves the deal forward” vs. “You can’t bill for collating documents. That’s not legal work.”

I recently started my first post-college job as a software developer and have to make a decision pretty soon: front-end development or back-end development. I really like being closer to the user and the creativity as far as front-end. But I also reallly really enjoy math and logic and the more complex side to back-end. My dream would be to do full stack but thats not an option. Scared of getting pigeon holed. Any suggestions as to what to do / tips?
