My close friend is visiting my apartment and I do not have a guest bedroom; I only have an air mattress that I would situate in the living room (no couch since I just moved in). Ideally we would both sleep on the bed but I have a twin. If I give her the air mattress to sleep on am I being inhospitable? Or should I let her sleep in my bed so she can have her own space (for context I have 1 roommate who is my sister ) and I sleep on the air mattress in the living room?

You sound like a very genuine, caring person. Assuming your friend is the just like you, she won’t let you sleep on the air mattress, but it’s the thought that counts for you at least offering. 🙂

As a guest I never expect my hosts to give up their room/bed to me. It’s a very kind offer! Perhaps offer and see what she says.

An air mattress is fully normal imo, especially in a nyc apartment. You may just want to give her a heads up. Offering your bed would be extremely nice of you, but is by no means required and I would expect her to decline.

I give up my bed to my mom when she visits but for friends– they are okay with an air mattress or couch.

Very good rule of thumb. I slept on a friend's suppppper soft/sinking couch while on a road trip and it killed my back. Only problem is my friend has an even worse back so we're a lost cause lol.

My friend slept on a very comfy queen air mattress I borrowed from my brother. She was visiting my then boyfriend and I who slept on the bed in our 400 sf studio. You are being more than generous! Air mattress is fine. I’ve had friends visit and sleep on my loveseat. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Plz upgrade from a twin soon

Got an offer to work at a boutique PE fund as an intern for the next few months. The role is however unpaid and the fund is new.

For some background, I’m going to be starting at a T-2 firm doing CDD for PE funds in January. Wondering if getting this kind of experience looks good when I apply to analyst roles 1-2 years out? Don’t want to work without getting paid unless the experience is valuable. Would love any perspective on this.

I have too much experience for an internship, and I have too little to be the top choice for copywriter roles. I know I’m a good writer, I know what I’m capable of, but it’s so exhausting trying to convince people. They always like my book but it’s never enough to get the gig. What can I do?
