Recently accepted an offer for JPMorgan Chase in San Francisco. I'm staring to think about apartment hunting and wonder of there are any common pitfalls I should watch out for when looking for my 1st place

I would say just watch signing contracts to make sure to read the whole thing and to make sure you understand the contract before signing. You never know what the landlord will sneak into the contract because they know most people don't even read them and just sign them.

Generally, San Francisco is a walkable city, and public transportation is good. Some of my friends there had told me to avoid the tenderloin. If you can, ensure the apartment includes parking since it can be challenging to find parking after an exhausting day at work.

San Francisco is one of the most interesting places to find housing in the US...and it's all expensive relative to other cities. The Sunset District from what I've heard is one of the more affordable "bang for your buck" areas with street parking and great culture. The Marina is incredibly pretty but filled with a ton of recent college grads. Good luck in your search!

If you have a hybrid schedule and can WFH 2+ days a week I would consider Bernal Heights or Outer Sunset. It's slightly cheaper and you're more likely to have laundry and parking which is crucial living in SF. Congrats on the new role!

Personally, I recommend working with a real estate agent or apartment locator service. I wasted so much time trying to find a place on my own and I'm sure I missed several opportunities at better places because I didn't know they existed. If you can afford to do this, it's well worth the investment.

Good luck OP, SF housing market is not for the weak lol. I would consider distance as the #1 factor if you're planning on being in the office 2x days or more. Commuting is NOT fun

Is this that innovation program?

He’s having a real mental block (I think with writing cover letters mostly) he describes staring at the screen feeling incapable. Any suggestions?

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Looking to leave my current role but scared of financial outlook, graduated August 2022 and have 2 YOE of formal experience in tech under my belt with startups and large companies. Currently making $70k base- is that realistic anywhere else other than startups/tech for a marketing or sales position?
