The Taylor, in uptown. That's where we all live

like

If you're a happening single, you will hate Addison. Uptown is the place to be, the Village for a cheaper alternative. When you're ready for a house (or if you're adventurous on independent apartments), Lakewood/East Dallas is better than Highland Park.

like

Uptown is good, also around a Deep Ellum like near the Farmers Market area there's some good spots, quick walk to nightlife

like

Addison is decent but it's an older crowd. Uptown area is fun but gets pricey and is crowded af.

West Village just north of uptown. Not as young/sloppy as Uptown or boring/lame as anything outside of the loop.

like

P3 - west village is basically uptown. OP - uptown, Knox Henderson area, Oaklawn, lower Greenville. Don't worry about proximity to the airport. It's 30 min to Dfw from these areas. And also you're 10 minutes from love field if you fly southwest, delta or virgin.

like

Highland Park if you are 30+ or Uptown if you're 29>

All of the above! Cheaper areas than the above and close to both airports- Addison, shops at legacy, Frisco

...better than Highland Park unless you're Jerry Jones rich.

Las colinas

+1 on Las Colinas (which is actually Irving) if all you care about is proximity to DFW. Otherwise look in Uptown/West Village if you care about, you know, doing stuff besides work and sleep

Stay on the 35 side of the U, will take 15-20 off commute each way, only about a 25 minute ride from uptown

^ That also. I live off 35E @ Inwood (near Inwood @ Maple) which is an okay area, boring AF but pretty affordable, close to everything (10 to office, 25-30 to DFW, like 5 to DAL).

Why do you want to live halfway to dfw? Most of these posts (with the exception of Irving) are accurate but neglecting that tidbit. I'd recommend downtown if you don't need to be halfway to DFW. Minimum uber to uptown, deep ellum, and there are some great value apartments. We pay $2k for a 1400ft2 3bd 2bath

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.
