Crown Heights near Franklin Avenue or Nostrand Avenue stop

Prospect Heights. Close to Atlantic Terminal to get you to JFK quickly, and runs along A train. Not a tough drive either. (LGA is fucked even if you live in Queens).

20 min into Manhattan also

Agreed, the Crown Heights area I suggested before is on the cusp of Prospect Heights. Great neighborhood.

Avoid Williamsburg - the L line is always a mess.

I would appreciate any insight on management-side employment law in Dallas. I am a MLA at a large firm in LA pondering a move for financial/family reasons, but it doesn't seem like there are many open positions in DFW and I'm wondering if this area of the law is just not robust in Texas.

Is it too much to ask a home health company for someone to shadow/orient? I was just hired PRN and that was something I asked for during the hiring process and the recruiter agreed.

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?
