Thanks so much! Will take a look. Love the proximity to downtown too.

Heights south of 610 is your best bet. Recommend off Studewood near white oak. Montrose would be worth a look as well

Many of the doctors working in the Medical Center live in Bellaire or West University area (near Rice University).

Heights proper or bellaire/west U. Very different vibes. Also this is based on other criteria included, no knowledge of Dallas streets. Try to avoid Dallas as much as possible lol

Rice Village is near the medical center if you are going to work in the medical center. Shopping restaurants are near by too.

Thanks we liked Rice U / West U area but wondering if there’s anything similar to these vibes?

@OP, I live College Court place, which borders West U for the last 15 years and I’ll be happy to answer any questions and set you up with an amazing realtor friend of mine! There’s a couple of houses in my neighborhood that are for sale and I love this area!!

Where is this?

Montrose or anywhere west of downtown on inner loop

West U.

West U, bellaire, rice village. I’d stay south of I10 tbh for that specific vibe.

Riverstone where all the rich people live

I think they mean River Oaks. But out of this post’s price range and not the same vibe

Bellaire or West U

In what area of town are you working? You looking for a SFH or condo?

Prob SFH with a yard bc of our 🐶

Been looking into 2019 Infiniti QX50, Lincoln MKC, Mazda CX-5, Chevy Equinox, and other similar compact to mid size SUVs but having hard time making the decision.

What are some affordable SUVs that i can buy with ~$25k budget? Hopefully it's post 2019 model and has good fuel economy and reliability (low maintenance cost). I'm less concerned on the mileage but wanting good horsepower (~250hp). Any suggestions? Thanks for your insights.

Hi Team,
I have worked in a project for more than 1.5 years now for a non scripting tool. Feel no learning and skill enhancement here.Can I get my project changed. QA Automation. Will there be any consequences if I do so?

I have submitted needed docs to HR as per request. When can I expect salary discussion/ offer letter?

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!
