Having trouble finding a Studio/1 Bedroom apartment in Lincoln Park/Lake View Chicago (budget: $1400 or below) that isn't a shoebox. Any recommendations on places to look at?

I’ve been looking everywhere for that but there are $1800 a month places in streeterville are pretty nice. Look at “arrive”.

South loop is probably your best bet. That’s a pretty small budget for basically anywhere north of the river unless you go out farther west.

South loop is nowhere near lakeview, why are people suggesting this?

I’d recommend getting a realtor and looking at some high rises. I live in a one bedroom in a high rise in Lakeview on LSD and pay $1500/month

Check out Lincoln Park Plaza, good for the price. If you don’t mind having laundry in the building rather than in unit you can expand your search! Check out Gold Coast as well, if you don’t mind an older building (I’m in a studio now and love the area and the price isn’t too bad)

Check out places between Diversey and Belmont should be around the price ur looking for

Have you considered looking in a less expensive area that fits your budget? Other suggestion would be to simply make more money

Do you have roommates? Just got a place within that budget, but only because I’m living with 2 others

Your budget isn’t going to find you anything nice over there. Try south loop, wicker park, or bucktown.

You can find something in uptown, Buena Park, etc on the north side and virtually anything further west for a decent size but it’ll be a further commute if you go into the office - PPM apartments have decent property options but sometimes have surprise stupid taxes or fees as a heads up

Yes they exist! Use rental companies and they will show you a few places. They won’t have AC or in unit laundry but my friend lives on Cornelia and Sheffield and has a nice 1br for about 1,200.

I will say she had to call them months in advance to secure her place. She saw units available for like May listed online and emailed/called multiple times to be able to be one of the first people to see the ones available for August. Become the rental agency secretary’s BFF

Would you be okay with going up to around Edgewater? It’s farther north but there’s great public transit in Chicago. You’d get cheaper options and it’s safer up there too.

How far is your commute? I like Evanston, very affordable and still close enough to the action

Not sure about the budget but hope this helps: https://www.localbylaramar.com/chicago/lincolnpark-neighborhood.aspx?utmsource=PPC-CHI&utmmedium=cpc&gclid=CjwKCAjwk_WVBhBZEiwAUHQCmTU3jPHfWfpw4ljzAB_XT9GBcqLRwRa_kWJCH6YHq6b94E8a9cmRZBoCgiQQAvD_BwE

Hi folks, I've been offered for the role of devsecops engineer at cisco. I have put my resignation last day is on October and my current company is asking if i could consult for them on hourly basis if possible. I thought of asking my cisco HR but thought I could ask here. Is there any constraints which stops us from consulting? Will it conflict with the cisco contractual policies? Any leads would be appreciated.

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.
