I suppose Bushwick must have changed. I grew up in Brooklyn and back in those days we stayed clear of Bushwick because it was known to be very dangerous but a lot of neighborhoods evolve with time. I will have to take a trip there to see why it is now on the best neighborhood in Brooklyn list.

Let us know what you find out at bushwick! Interested in moving there as well but heard mixed things about the area...

Bushwick, Greenpoint (if you can afford it).

Personally I wouldn’t move there. There are some nice brownstones in that area, but I’m not a fan of living near Broadway.

Bushwick!

Who’s asking?

Me 🥰

Bed Stuy will give you space at slightly below market rate. there are lots of people within the queer community, artists and generally less kitschy than WB

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

I’m a new winter grad and I feel absolutely horrendous. As much as I don’t want to admit it I’ve never been more depressed in life. It’s not even bc I’ve lost the stress from school, it’s that I really don’t look forward to my job.

I’ve always wanted to travel the world but I’m in finance and in the role I am in there’s no way for me to do that. I’ve also always wanted to start some kind of food business but it feels like a pipe dream especially given the risk and trade off. Any suggestions?
