Does anyone have experience / advice moving in with SO into a studio apartment? We’re both hybrid, so I’m worried about overlapping meetings and such if we both work from home

Ok sheesh, thanks guys. I was looking at price differences for 1Br vs Studios and it was like $500-$1000 more (NYC) and my rational was I don’t want to spend $6000-$12000 for a door but it looks like that’s a small price to pay to keep my sanity and relationship lol

I hated it…we had to alternate taking calls in the bathroom so both of us could be talking at the same time. Noise canceling OVER EAR headphones were a must but it was still hard to manage with full meeting days

It’s ghetto - don’t do it. Barely enough space for me, let alone having two people. The worse is figuring out where to go for meetings and having an unwelcome guest pop up behind my Zoom call 🤣

Pay a little extra and get at least a 1 bedroom. The peace of mind is worth it.

I am currently in this situation. I concur with C1 on the noise cancelling over ear headphones part. I have a lighter meeting schedule than my SO so it has worked out so far. We also sync up on our call schedule every morning for 5 min to know which calls are high importance / which calls we will be leading

That would be the dream but we’re still starting our careers in NYC, so a 1Br is probably just in / a little over our budget

Don’t do it

When, or if you set time aside to take care of yourself or do something for yourself, what do you do? I'm realizing I don't really have any "healthy" ways of relaxing outside of work, so drop whatever you got.
