Is anyone finding seasonal work for the holidays, even part time? I'm considering it. Would be a blow to my pride but that's becoming less and less important as I slowly spend my savings. Best ways to get over your own ego and take what's on offer?

Yep. Already worked in retail when I got laid off so I'm hoping (though it's unlikely) I can at least turn a seasonal position into something full time. At least working for the next month+ is better than nothing. F*ck your ego, if you need a job, take a job. Think about it like you're doing whatever you need to do to get your life in order - that's something to be proud of not ashamed.

You'd be surprised how many people with prestigious backgrounds or high intelligence have taken or considered seasonal work and related jobs to make ends meet while searching for another opportunity. Sometimes these things are out of your control. It may feel embarassing, but it is honorable.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. Was able to pick up something part time that starts next week.

I'm not getting any. I don't know why. Do businesses overlook people who have college degrees? I would think the stores where I live would be enthusiastic about hiring locals! But inflation MIGHT play a role in this since economists forecast less spending due to rising costs. But to your question, if you need the money, go ahead and do it. Better that than nothing

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
