Eugenie Terrace. I don't live there but I wish I did.

Second D1 on Eugenie. Lived there for three years and it's awesome. Pool deck in the summer is best in the city. If you want lower rent than ET head up to Lincoln Park around Diversey. Moved to the West Loop last year and rent is lower, with some of the best restaurants and bars coming in to that area now.

The pool deck at 500 N Lake Shore is my haven. Also close to Lake Shore path if you're a biker. Though I live in the camp of we work hard so we should enjoy our earnings... Might not be a good fit if you are in the camp of "I travel all the time so I don't want to spend a lot on my apt"

How much are you willing to shell out

1500 / mo or less Is the ideal but I don't know the market or anything so I'm willing to be flexible if that's not appropriate

old town if you're over 26!

West loop

West Loop!

I live in Gold Coast. People told me not to because it's all old people, but I've found that isn't the case. Location is perfect too

Lincoln park!

Have people received inflationary raises? My dad received a letter stating that they’re giving him a 6.5% raise + a one time lump sum of $750 bc of inflation, retroactive to July 1st. He works for a university and is part of a union. Kind of feel like my company is being shady because I work in CRE & we do raises + bonuses in February which was when I was planning to ask for an inflationary raise. But I feel like a lot of companies have done this without having their employees ask?

Deloitte question. I have always gotten a raise each year, the only question I ask is how much of a raise do I get. But I’m hearing from former Deloitte folks, it is naive to expect annual raises each year however small/big they are? And how does this play in Deloitte consulting vs advisory? Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
