I've always had overlap on leases in the past, but this year the timing works out bizarrely. If your lease ends on July 31 but you can't move in until Aug. 1, what on earth are you supposed to do for the night in between?

Stay in a hotel for a night, treat yourself for all the hard work. Let the boxes be in Uhaul truck

like

I had friends legit sleep in their uhaul once. But in all honesty, normally what happens is you get everything packed and in the truck on the 31st, and then sleep in your apt and finish clean out super early the next morning. All of this is done with arrangement with the incoming tenants, usually. They’re typically moving out of somewhere that ended the 31st as well, unless they have overlap in which they may give you more grace to clear out on the 1st.

Heck, we stayed with a cousin for 3 weeks when we had a weird rental gap--even brought our cats. (But yes, usually a hotel, or sofa surf for a night, or many times there isn't a new tenant for your old place coming right in, so you can just sleep on your old floor)

Talk to you landlord, I’m sure this isn’t something to worry about.

How do you do this with movers

Ask your movers - this is such a common scenario in Boston they’ll have good advice they can recommend.

Mid level Electrical Engineer in the greater Baltimore, MD area making $115k base w/ $20k sign on bonus. No yearly bonus. I started this job in April of this year. 2-3 years experience. When I onboarded they told me to expect promotion to EE III in about a year. Performance reviews coming at the end of the this year and I’m wondering 1) if my salary is on par with what I should expect 2) how to approach conversations about raises and promotion with my supervisor. Thanks for any insights.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

Citius Tech. I asked for 30LPA. HR said it's not at all a problem.
Manager was fine with my profile in 2nd round and he said he will move to next client round. HR mailed me next day like like the client band is less and working on it.

Yesterday the HR replied that they can't match my expectation and thanks for applying.

If you’re hoping to find a housing deal, you’re out of luck in the short term.
Maybe if you can deal with the higher payments for the next 3 years and sell/refinance above today’s prices you’ll be ok, but this isn’t going to be pretty.
