If you are on a gravy train with biscuit wheels, I would recommend Cobble Hill / Carroll Gardens.

I will second all of this but upscale is not just a vibe lol. Brownstones are $5M plus.

Bay Ridge. Hidden gem, 2 families start at around $1.2M. Ie half the price of park slope with just as much nightlife/culture, even more parks

like

Prospect Lefferts Gardens has some nice spots. Overall though, you're not getting a ton for <$1M unless you move south / east of prospect park.

What’s your price point? Are you looking for more nightlife or family oriented amenities? What is tolerance for travel time to manhattan ?

The obvious answer is park slope and I think it’s for great reason. I lived there for a year and loved it.

Park Slope is also really kid friendly (not sure on your situation)

Greenpoint, Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Prospect Heights, Boerum Hill, Dumbo, Vinegar Hill.

Hi friends,

Nothing is going in the right way, feeling very low and no confidence at all. Negativity from the family , relatives constantly invading me for the joblessness.

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience? I have 10+ YOE in product, but some was at a tiny meh startup that fizzled out, some was in the digital wing of a large old healthcare org, and though my current role is GPM at a “name brand” tech company, it’s on the smaller side. Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?

I accepted a new job with a local district through my state DPH. I was excited and a little nervous at first. It's my first full-time position in several years and I will have state benefits along with "regular" hours. No more shift work. Unfortunately I am hearing some not so good opinions about management. I'm trying not to listen and make my own decisions based off experience-not word of mouth, but I'm beginning to worry. Anyone have any experience with something similar or working DPH?
