Moving to Boston from Chicago. I am very attracted to Cambridge. Any residents care to share your thoughts on the area? I'm in my early twenties, will be living with my parents and sister (also early twenties)

Didn’t live in Cambridge but in Somerville at Davis square which is the next town over. Very peaceful area filled with yuppies and great culture.

Depends on what your parents need honestly. For early 20s a place in Inman or near central is great but your folks may want something different. You could do near the alewife area or over the border in Somerville or Medford to get a little more space and quiet.

I've lived in Cambridge, it's nice but I throw up whenever I think about all the Prius' and dickish cyclists.

Which area do you prefer?

I currently live in Cambridge and it is a great area where there are several grocery stores nearby (Trader joes, whole foods, hmart, etc) and most shops are open given covid19. The T station is close by so you can easily travel around Boston.

It has been nice to be within walking distance to all the shops/stores and go on walks/runs by the river. Rent may be high around this area but I've enjoyed having so many things accessible

Used to live in mid-Cambridge (between Harvard and Central) and loved it. Quiet neighborhood, close to both centers. DM me if questions

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Hello! I noticed some similar questions to the one I am about to ask and I apologize if I am being repetitive but I didn’t see this specifically (I am new so sorry if I am missing it). I am a RN and have been for 15 years. I was looking to transition into health tech but has been a bit more challenging than I expected. So, I have been working on trying to get in as a SDR but I am also taking a course for my PMP certification. Is this of value or should I focus on something else?
