Anyone from West coast? Need to move there from east by December. Looking at San Jose or Sunnyvale area. Make 140k as TC. Any places that have cheap 1 bhk apartments that i can see? My range is between 1500 to 2000 usd per month. Not sure if I can get any in that range.

And I'm presuming you are from India. Is that correct? The use of "bhk", affinity towards Sunnyvale/San Jose, and having a conservative rent to income ratio all seem to point in that direction. :)

Yup M1. You are right, I'm from India.

It is going to be very tight, so here are my suggestions in decreasing order of priority:

1. Almost all decent one bedrooms run above 2 or 2.5k. However, very often, you can find first 1/2 months free. Find those deals and they'll bring down your effective rent.

2. Find a studio instead.

3. Get a roommate. Between 3-4k, you can find a good 2 bedroom

Sounds good M1. I will try to do that. This is temporary as I will be moving in with my spouse. Our household income will become 280k ish and we should be able to afford one bedroom that costs around 2k.

Station 101 Apartments in Santa Clara/ sunnyville- you can find 1 br for 2100 and 2 br for 2600-2800.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

Mphasis Hi fishes,

Any information on rating for this year 2021-2022?

Additional Posts in Consulting

Manager Ratings: Generally speaking, in consulting, for a long term project, if there’s a team of 6 people (1 person managing everyone, and below that person 5 different people who are associates or senior associates) is there pressure on the manager to give at least 1 of the 5 associates/senior associates a bad review? Assuming everyone performed anywhere from good to great, would a lot of managers feel it would make them look bad to let all 5 have a good review?
