Hi all - looking to find a 1BR/1B apartment in either a central/walkable area in the city or in Ballston. Want to stay under $2000/month and move in Feb/March. Anyone live in a complex/location they love or know of any great rent specials going on now?
Thank you!!

Hi, anyone know of a good newborn photographer here in Austin?

What would you do?

Your teammate with the same title and pay as you is at your desk all the time for help. I'm definitely open to helping - but sometimes "help" is basically the whole job - it feels like I'm doing both jobs lol and it almost feels unfair that we both get paid the same or very close (Colorado, so pay transparency). The teammate has been with the company for longer than me.

I've been at the same cafe for four years and am realizing my opportunities to earn more and grow are limited here. The owners are incredible and I’ve made a ton of friends here, but I can’t keep delaying a change. Any advice on getting over that fear and making a move?
