Looking to move from NYC to LA and would like to sublease an apartment for a month to see if I like it. What's the best resource to check out short term rentals in LA?

Try to punt the move a bit. Market is pretty rattled after the fires.

Reddit probably. Get a room with someone that’s fully furnished so you can get your bearings and figure out what part of the city you want to be in

We’ve had luck finding a tenant through FB Groups. Find a relevant group (usually titled sublet or short term) in an area you like.

I’d prefer FB Groups over Reddit just because you can see profile picture and in some cases leave a bit more on who’s who. Sure can be fake but better than no profile on Reddit. But definitely try both, and multiple groups on FB.

What part of LA are you thinking about? @Manager 1 is right about the housing market, especially the short term market, being stressed right now, particularly in those areas close to the fires. People whose homes survived but need significant remediation are taking up a lot of the short term market right now.

Can you wait a few months until things have stabilized here? And again, a lot will depend on exactly where in LA you want to be.

A month isn’t enough time. Where you looking at? Just factor in the commute. at rush hour the rule of thumb is three times the distance

I would see about airbnb or look at Facebook marketplace and see if anyone has a room for rent. One month might be tough to get a feel for LA. Much like NYC different neighborhoods have different vibes (Westside verses Valley for example) but also where do you find a job and live in comparison. LA much more spread out and our public transportation isn’t anywhere near smooth as NYC.

If you’re interested, I’d consider doing an apartment swap depending on the circumstances or subletting. I have a 2 bedroom in Santa Monica.

I used “RoomforRent” or look at college sublets. There’s a board for sublets on FB.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?

Hi, do you know of any opening as a production manager making at least 120K? The environment where I'm currently working is getting more toxic than ever and they are expecting me to fill all the openings with the minimum wage. I've been in the same company for the last 7 years, but with all the pandemic still going on, nobody seems to understand that when you are short staffed is impossible to get the same results as when you are fully staffed. Any help or insights will be greatly appreciated.
