Moving to Boston from Chicago in August for school. Are there any differences in weather attire between the two? Or product recs? Both cities are pretty cold, but Boston seems to get a lot more snow..

Man, the Boston bowl is a lot less chatty than the Chicago bowl. Coincidence? 😂

Honestly it’s pretty similar. If you don’t have a solid pair of snow boots, I would recommend getting some. Bean boots are a great option.

Lived in both cities. Boston gets more snow but Chicago is colder. You should have everything you need coming from Chicago (assuming you have snow boots!)

I actually don’t have snow boots because I’m a daredevil like that. But you bet I’m stopping by LL Bean first thing after I step off my flight 👌

Late to this (just joined the bowl) but bean boots arent the best for snow...the treads are quite shallow and they lose their grip real quick trying to navigate around town!

I've lived in both too. You should be fine but definitely get boots.

How many years have you been in consulting, and how many flights have you missed? For me, 3 years and 2 flights. Technically missed several other flights as well but they weren’t a big deal (next flight took off in an hour and I still got there before anyone else) or were on purpose (called delta and asked to be transferred to the next flight because I wanted to sleep in more). 2 flights that were actually an issue - final answer.

Hi. What do you do with a gaslighting boss and coworker in a small office? I also don’t feel like my boss even cares about me. Examples- there was a man with a gun in parking lot that I had to flee from and call police, he didn’t care- just asked me when I was coming back to work.😳 zero compassion. didn’t care I had a blinking light above my desk, waited two months to fix it though my eye was twitching! Makes me feel like a burden for taking care of my health, etc. and gaslights me regularly!
