Currently staying in Hoboken NJ. My rent isn’t high but the apartment is old and don’t really have a lot of friends. With COVID and most of our future being WFH. Am considering moving to a low COL area.
Any suggestions , with a lot of 25-30 year olds around.
Hopefully, I can find a good apartment, don’t mind renting something with a backyard.
Would definitely like a place with better weather. Pretty much open to anywhere in the US.

A director in another unit wants to meet me to “continue a conversation we started last year”. He is referring to the time I had asked him if there were openings on his team. That was over a year ago. I am not too happy where I am right now ( I stayed where I was). I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work. How would you approach this conversation?

Has anyone actually received a referral from someone on this app? Just curious.

Rising 2L here…Just found out yesterday that one of my top target law firms is not participating in OCIs (they don’t have offices in my state). Any advice on the best way to move forward with them? Still planning to apply, just want to know what I should be doing. Thanks!

We have been utilizing a third party asset manager. We have grown to the point where we just don’t think it makes financial sense to continue to do that and need to bring the portfolio management in-house. Have a few questions for the group:
How many models do you run?
How much time do you devote to this weekly?
What advice would you give to someone who has had total reliance on TAMPs but making a complete change to investment management style?
