Need advice/inspiration: Lease ends 2/28 in Chi. Haven’t resigned. Having a hard time committing a full year lease w/remote work, unknowns about the city & this weather. Renting furniture so just clothes/kitchenware to move. Considering Cali or somewhere warm for a few months. Work is intense so part of me wants to be settled and the other part uncommitted. Anyone here do a short term Airbnb or furnished apt thing elsewhere during Covid?

I recommend going to the Zillow app to find rentals. There is a section where you can filter your preferences. If you scroll to the bottom, you can type in key words such as short-term, and furnished.

Here is one I found in Cali that’s furnished— but it doesn’t state lease term.

Dear all,

Please do not call California, "Cali."

It is akin to calling San Francisco, "San Fran."

It is not done, rap songs notwithstanding.

Thank you.

I’ll call Cali whatever i please.

thx.

There is almost nowhere to find reliable bonus information on Canadian firms. I’ve heard of year end bonuses ranging from 10-50% this year (not including Covid bonuses). Let’s start a thread posting year of call, rough billable hours worked and bonus as a percent of salary.

Going on a parental leave in a month. Anyone know of any remote, freelance/part time I can do to still make money on the side? Out side of Uber/Lyft etc

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.
