When you know your pilot had a mad one last night...

I’m job hunting in Los Angeles, looking at a variety of titles (HRBP, Sr. HRBP, Manager, Sr. Manager, Director). I have 8 YOE and my SHRM-SCP. I reached my report limit on payscale.com, so I used a variety of other sites to price the roles (BLS, salary.com, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Robert Half). The problem I’m having is the huge inconsistencies between sources (there are $40k differences between some of the identified medians). (Continued…)
Yikes Ella lol

No offense 🥲

DO NOT DO LOWES. I'd be happy to tell you about my 24 month saga, no kitchen, and a civil suit.

Sent you a dm
I have done 2 IKEA kitchens so far and they are really good quality. 3/4 inch thick cabinet walls are really sturdy and most kitchens don’t offer that.
You can hire a contractor for the install or even do it yourself if you are handy.
No permits needed unless you want to move plumbing/electric majorly. (At least here in VA - check your local code)
What’s your budget? I’d say none of the above but that depends on budget.
IKEA will carry their current cabinet system for decades. Their hardware is great and you could remodel just by ordering door fronts if you get tired of the current look in a few years.
I put in HD stock cabinets in 10 years ago. They did the job for the house but if you plan on living there longer get some high end stuff like KraftMaid.

Spend as much as possible
Additional context. This is a for a small NYC apartment. For those not familiar with NYC - a 12x9 kitchen is considered large and price runs to around $100k+ going high end.
Was trying to avoid the above and possibly use HD, lowes, or maybe IKEA. But looks like it might be a no LOL
I’d go for IKEA cabinets or a little more high end, but not crazy, look for an Omega cabinets dealer. Appliances: Fisher Paykel has great quality appliances, modern design and at a moderate price point and European fit for apartments. The bulky appliances at the big box stores are hideous.
I bought the in-stock cabinets from Home Depot and installed them myself. I’m happy with them for the price and for this particular project. I’d definitely go higher end if it was my forever home. I’d recommend researching some of the smaller options. A lot of the small businesses can charge less than HD/Lowe’s because there’s no middle man and they don’t have the brand name to rely on.
