No difference really but there has been a decent dip in rent in SF atleast and some other parts of the bay. I’ve been staying at the same apt complex in SF proper and studios that used to go for 2.7-3.2k are now available for as low as 1.6. Same kinda dip with 1bd units. I just renewed my lease in my studio and got a rent dip from 2200 (last year) to 1781 (signed last week). Bottom line is that timing is everything and prices fluctuate all the time. Best to start looking for areas (part of the bay) and corresponding neighborhoods atleast 2 months before moving and short list quickly so you can start to narrow down potential apt units from a month before you move.

Cheapest now due to low demand as ^ said.

Normally, it’s marginally cheaper in winter than summer/fall because there’s a rush of activity in summer/fall with new graduates/movers, but fewer options too.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry.

I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
