Yes. Good idea.

That’s exactly what I’m doing. By staying with my parents rent free for 5 months they’re basically giving me $14k.
NYC is so overpriced right now.
Plus IMO this is the best time to do it. It’s not like you’re really missing anything by living in the city rn. Throw in some quality parent time and it’s a win-win-win

Depends on how much you like your parents and your hometown. Even if I weren’t married, no way I’d go live with my folks as an adult.

What do you mean by bad?

No one knows if it’s going to be bad. Just do it and play it by ear you can move back to nyc if things get better and if you’re close to your folks it’ll be nice quality time that you otherwise would’ve probably not had.

Great idea.
Do it.

Yea a bunch of my friends from the Bay Area did exactly this. Everyone is dropping their leases as soon as they can.

Within weeks after I started, it became clear that one mid level associate doesn’t like me, and the other mid levels on my team do. This particular mid level is dismissive and has a superior attitude; gives terrible instructions and then gets upset when I follow those instructions and they don’t get the result they want; has given bad feedback about me to my boss; and lately has just stopped responding to my emails. Help?
