I know folks scoff at the term "luxury" to describe apartment buildings, but I will be moving to the area for a new job in August and I don't enough about the area to feel comfortable enough to go the private landlord route. The office building is in Arlington.

I'm looking for a 1 BD/1 BA apartment with amazing amenities and bright/beautiful finishes. I'd ideally like to stay around $3K. Any buildings you’d recommend? I’m looking at NoVA and DC neighborhoods within a 30 minute commute.

Your best bet for “luxury” buildings in DC are near city center, mount vernon triangle, or waterfront/navy yard. Those are where the newer developments are located.

In Arlington, you want Ballston, Clarendon or Rosslyn in that order. Very walkable young professional communities that are much cleaner/safer than DC and many buildings will allow you to have a car.

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously.

Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later?
