Do you mean fall? Aka autumn?

Every old building in New York has the same bs. You can't control your own heat very well so there are definitely days on the shoulder seasons that are too cold

I had a space heater for this reason but using up closet space for the other 320 days of the year is annoying

If it's too hot you can open a window so the days that are too cold are the ones I find annoying

It is what it is - probably not much different in coop vs condo vs rental apts....whoever is managing the heat is usually trying to save money and doing the minimum required by law

There's a law based on the temperature outside and dates of the year

Not sure what you mean with this question - I’m sure all co-ops will differ. I’ve had places with heat built in (on or off) and places I could control the exact temperature.

Co-op is an ownership type, it has nothing to do with the design of the building. Are you asking how payment of heat is handled or something else?

Yes my building control the heat is very cool

I am in condo and building controls the heat. As someone who prefers to be roasty toasty all year round, works out great for me!! 🔥

I’ve been thinking of making a switch from audit to TAS. I’m currently a S1 (2 busy seasons experience), and rated as a top performer at my firm. I’m contacted by Kroll, but recruiters there told me that since I haven’t got any TAS experience, I should be applying for their Analyst role instead of Senior Associate. Honestly, I want to switch to TAS but not that desperate to leave my firm. Anyway, I just wonder if you guys have the same situation and usually how long it takes to get promoted?

Associate in the NY office of a magic circle firm. Been really struggling with mental health issues for a long time - I feel like I’m begging for guidance/supervision and not getting any, and can’t get any support junior-wise either. I just get told I’m doing a “good job” but I’m pretty sure that’s just because no one is looking. Is the expectation just to magically figure out how to get things done solo, even if it’s the first time to do it? Is it better at NY-HQ firms that have more resources?

Posting here because I truly don't know what to do. Hired a moving company to move out of NYC. They turned out to be just the 'brokers' not the company who would actually do the moving services. Essentially both companies worked together to get as much money out of me as possible, and the pick-up experience was awful. It's now been 10 days and I still have no idea where my belongings are, and neither company will answer my calls, texts, emails, anything!! What can I do in this situation?
