I live near Rittenhouse square. Love it. Great food and night life scenes

like

Loving Philly, I moved here from NYC. To me Philly is a smaller, more accessible, and cheaper version of NY. The food/bar scene here is incredible. I lived in Fairmount which is a nice quiet neighborhood for young professionals and families. Mostly walk up brownstones and townhouses. Live in Logan Square now in a luxury midrise. Mostly higher end condos and buildings in this area. People love northern liberties/fishtown, south Philly, and old city/ society hill. Each brings its own thing to the table, depends on what you want

I will second Fairmount. Quiet neighborhood with good restaurants, but it's walking distance to Center City.

Philly is great. VERY reasonable cost of living, but it still has cool art museums, amazing food scene, all the sports teams, and it's growing super fast.

It's also pretty centrally located on the Eastern seaboard. Quick train rides to DC or NYC. Short flights to Boston, the Carolinas, even ATL.

Would 2nd living near rittenhouse or old city unless you're a hipster / want those brooklyn vibes and then id say fishtown is for you. Philadelphia is an awesome city that gets a weird rep. Definitely has issues with homeless people and trash but so does every major city.

Night life is so so. Not a big club / dance music scene. But nyc is an hour 20 away by train so I just head up there whenever I need to party

NYC or Philly?

Rittenhouse and Washington Squares are super nice, old city is really cool

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.

Other than me being sick of my job and wanting more money, what are some other good reasons I can tell a recruiter why I'm looking for a lateral position change?

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior). He mention that I should read some sales pitch books of some sorts so I can get a process down and not be drain from having genuine conversations with every client. I think it’s a great idea. Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
