I've had bad experiences with CAF trying to push unnecessary urgency to sign. (And doing the classic 2 crap and 1 good on viewings.) @properies does a nice job per a few friends. Neither have fees, I don't believe. The owner/landlord gives them your first month rent.

Any recommendations if so?

Chicago apartment finders are pretty good. You hand them your parameters, they create a list of apartments they want to show you on a day of your choosing, and then they'll come pick you up and drive you around the city to show them to you. That being said, I've used Craigslist to find 4/5 of the apartments I've had in Chi.

Found my place on Craigslist- love if

What are you looking for? We need a roommate at the end of May. 3 bdr in wicker, my roommate and I are both consultants traveling Mon-thu

In Chicago the landlord usually pays the full realtor fee, so there's no reason not to. I've used Apartment People and heard good things about Domu

Yea it's free for renters and they are good I've heard.

My realtor is amazing and can send you a link if you want. He primarily does rentals for single apartments though, not roommates or lower end apartments. Depends on what you're looking for, I would stick to independent agents since the larger companies (@, reside etc) are all going to push you to the listings they get the biggest cut from.

I know I am underpaid, but my leaders are forcing me to work on multiple projects, for which I am getting anxiety even before working or denying.
What is the solution? Provided I don't want to switch & increase salary just to provide more tax to govt or the work may increase more too.
I need 100% job stability, which only PwC can provide.
Genuine advice needed!!

I've been searching for a new job because I know I am underpaid. I have 12+ years of experience in the event industry and seven years in the Event Tech world. I interviewed with Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft. I went through all the stages, but I was not selected. Any advice? I think I did great in all my interviews; my resume is solid, and I have four university degrees including a Master’s. I speak English and Spanish. Any advice of what my problem might be?

Advice requested: When you were a legal intern or a summer, what type of projects did you like best? What was most helpful to you when you received a new assignment? Anything you wish your mentor did/didn’t do? I’m working with my first ever intern and trying to structure projects so they know that the work is important and relevant to the business, and why, and to provide enough background info on the area of law so they don’t spin wheels on the basics. What else should I be doing?
