Anybody in MIA working? Stressful week and need to rally lol

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle? I’ll start - I’m an advisor in Wealth Management with TC of $70k, 3 YOE and no side hustle. Among other things, rent just jumped from $2500 to $3700 for 2 bedroom and areas were looking at. I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.

Starting a list of good indo-chinese restaurants in US. Add your favs:
1. The everest momo - Milipitas (CA)
2. Spice symphony - NYC (NY)
3. In-chin bamboo garden - Alpharetta (GA)
4. Masti - Atl (GA)

Best Luxury Apartments in Buckhead or near Chastain? Looking for 24/hr concierge, security, and under $2500. Open to other areas as well (just not DT ATL).

Best top 3 ranked GTA games in your opinion? Recently read an article that said San Andreas was the top dawg.

Alright, fishies, let’s try this again. Name drop boutique firms that have offices in San Francisco Bay Area. Big 4 is not my future (as many many MANY of you have repeatedly said I’m not good enough for). So, I’m taking the hint and crossing MBB and Big 4 off my list but still hoping a smaller firm will consider me.

Who is going to San Diego Pride this weekend?

What's a good base salary to live comfortably in the San Jose area for a single person? Thinking about interviewing/moving out there from East coast but seeing the rents is giving me sticker shock.

People that moved to San Diego, how did you move your stuff and do you recommend a moving company ??

Any recommendations are appreciated

Please remember, when you’re asking for salary information, it’s important to mention where you are located. For example, $100,000 is going to be a lot more in Mississippi than in San Francisco. Thanks guys.

Got an offer as a Senior 2 in EY’s FAAS practice for $117,500 base and $12,500 bonus. Home office is San Francisco. Is this expected for that position? Any insights?

Can you set automatic investments in TD Ameritrade? Looking to DCA at the start of every month into index funds without having to manually buy. Thanks!

Does anyone have any advise on how to become a staff video editor at a creative production company? They usually don't have any "job openings" listed on their site.

I have 5+ years of experience working at a creative ad agency, but much of the work was pitch/sizzle videos (yuck).

I'm freelancing now which has been a great step in the right direction but I'd eventually love to be on staff at a post house like The Den, Cut+Run, Company 3 etc. pumping out cool work. Just seems hard to break in.

Please post any creative opportunities in the San Francisco Bay area here. Thank you!

Are Uber/Lyft drivers reluctant to drive from DC (Logan) to BWI?

How much notice period does your firm require and has anyone quit without giving the full notice period?

This yr would be the first time im eligible to vote. The primary is coming up for my state. Im a bit confused as to what were voting for. Arent the candidates already determined? Is Joe Biden not the democratic nominee and the incumbent president would automatically default to being the other parties candidate as long as theyre eligible. What am i missing? The resources online are horrible and say that were voting for our parties preferential candidate...again isnt that already determined?

I am working as a Sr. Product Analyst and I am looking for a product management role in Healthcare IT in Bangalore . Kindly, comment down if you come across any job opportunity.

Who here has any advice on how to get into marketing at age 40?

Smile whenever you come into your office. The work we do makes life easier for thousands of professionals worldwide, so it should not be taken lightly.

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder. Also afraid of the possibility to go back on the acceptance of the one role in favor of another.

Best restaurant you’ve been to in Charlotte? Looking for an experience!

Is it common in Optum to ghost candidate again and again??

Do people 4-5 years out of b-school still put GMAT scores on resume? I have other markers of academic qualifications (schools, GPAs) on there, but wondering if should add standardized test score.

When that bonus check hits 🥰

Should you gift your GF who has kids but not with you something for Mother’s Day? 👀 if yes what’s a good gift that’s not over involved ? (Not flowers or chocolates 🙄).

Everyone who I want to like me or to hangout with doesn’t respond to my texts or tells me they are too busy. This weekend I reached out to 12 people to see if they wanted to grab coffee or a drink or go for a walk. The number of people who just didn’t respond astounded me. I ended up eating dinner in bed by myself and getting brunch on my own.

The only people who reach out to me, I don’t want to hangout with. I don’t have the same interests as them and have to try really hard… cont below

I hate going to the Apple Store nowadays.

Nothing infuriates me more than seeing cops pull people over at the beginning of rush hour on the Beltway. Out of all the times to do traffic stops, 4:15 on one of the nations busiest freeways is not it.

I’ve been married for a while now (5+ years) but feeling completely checked out. My wife has zero conflict resolution skills and can’t control her anxiety, so we constantly bicker if I ever do anything that offends her, and she wants to spend all her time talking about the constantly changing projects she will never start. I can’t ever talk about anything that worries me because she just freaks out. We have kids and she has no ability to earn money so leaving would be impossible financially

Why are some people willing to do anything / obsessed about getting the green card in the U.S.?

When I asked them, they usually say they like American lifestyle. I love lifestyle in France, but I was in France, I was OK if I can't stay. Just trying to understand here so that I can have more empathy.

I miss the Friday evening post. :-(

Women… how in the hell do you type in those acrylic nails??? I just got my first set and it’s so damn hard!

Y’all are extra judgy in this bowl.

Feeling grateful today. 🥺

How was you memorial day weekend?

I am finally going to see a therapist for my depression and suicidal thoughts. Alot of bad things happened to me the past 2 years and I just can't handle it anymore. Just wanted to get it off my chest.

What does it mean when you dream about the same person over and over?

Took my little dude to Target so he could buy a Xmas gift for his sibling. While browsing, he lost his $42 he’d been saving up. Same kid found a wallet packed with cash and credit cards at Disney a couple months back, and gave the wallet to the Disney employees —cuz it was the right thing to do. Today he learned that not everyone shares the same values and not to keep cash in a ziploc😞

Does anyone remember limewire and Morpheus days. My computer had so many stds from downloading all those music files

Whenever I see someone from McKinsey comment on a post, I get too intimidated to also comment.

I’m in the middle of moving by myself. I’m job hunting, because I lost my last one. My relationship has basically imploded. I sleep a lot on a fucked up schedule because I’m depressed but I can’t afford help, and I only get it when insomnia gives me a break. I’m so done and over all of this. I have so many heavy regrets. Idk how to carry all of this.

People who are cleanliness/organization freaks and have SOs who are not as clean/organized, how do you deal with it? Just learn to live with it?

SO moved in, however they aren’t as organized (an example is closet, my clothes are neatly folded and kept while theirs are mostly a pile of rolled up clothes). It does upset me and for some reason comes across as lazy which it may or may not be. We have had one minor chat and they saw it as ‘house rules’ and were worried there may be too many rules.
