How hard is Haas to get into?
I’ve worked at AT&T as a sales consultant for 6 years and 8 months where we prospect, uncover, and close on leads. I’ve used Salesforce for the past 4 years during my tenure. I’ve done B2B sales where I’ve received awards for it for 2 years consecutively. Loads of troubleshooting, uncovering needs through consultative styled selling, and tech app subscriptions.
I was wondering if I have the necessary skills to transition into a tech sales role. If so, what would be the best role/fit for me?Amazon Salesforce Google @

Don’t do west end if you’re looking for a younger social crowd. Go seaport
They’re great buildings for sure! Just not the part of the city I would recommend if you’re looking for a young social scene. In that area it’s either tourists/crowds for an event at the garden or it’s heading over to the north end.. both of which are fun, just not what you’re describing. Seaport is a more constant young fun vibe. West end has a lot more homeless people to contend with as well
Born and raised Boston here. 25M. West end is demonstrably never the move. Seaport if 22 - 30 and you like cookie-cutter new builds with nice amenities and tons of newly-graduated transplant young professionals; South End / Back Bay if 25 - ~40+ and you like high-end historic charm + a charming, established restaurant scene (also with young professionals, less transplants / often more pedigree + higher-6-fig jobs).
Would also consider Central Square in Cambridge and Inman Sq / Union Sq in Somerville if you’re looking for character / if you’re more on the artsy side / looking for a cool restaurant / bar scene
100% accurate.
Seaport’s like a suburban idea of what a city neighborhood should look like.
Choose Downtown or South End.
Downtown > seaport — with the caveat being that Seaport is quieter. Downtown has some beautiful buildings (millenium, devonshire, winthrop coming soon, etc) if you like the cookie cutter high rise thing, or, lots of older more charactered lofts. Personally I love the energy in downtown, and while Seaport is nice, it just felt cold and sterile when we were living there.
SC1 we moved about 2 weeks ago — Seaport is just an extremely commercial, sterile, impersonal neighborhood IMO. It’s too planned and perfect. Not saying it’s bad, it just doesn’t have the same life, character and energy that a few hundred year old city should have. Plus, Downtown is a ~10 min walk to Seaport.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fine place if you like cold and cookie cutter for top dollar. Personally, its not my style, I’d choose Downtown, West End, North End, Back Bay or South End > Seaport again if I was comparing similar quality apartments in each.

Seaport or Back Bay/South End.
South End > Seaport. Life isn’t all about drinks at Committee. There’s no charm or character in the Seaport. It could be any city.
Lofts at Atlantic wharf. LOVE this building and location since you can walk anywhere
I’m sure we’ll run into each other in the elevator at some point
Via seaport - dm me if you’d like a referral
NEMA seaport is what you’re looking for. DM me for info or referral
Depends on what you need for space, commute and what you want to pay. Probably Seaport or Southie though

I live at Ora Seaport and can refer you! ☺️
Yes- some geographical areas of boston are thought of as more or less social, but you could be in the most “social area” and the apartment may not ever provide you with a “social” environment. There are some buildings that just don’t have amenities or spaces to create a social scene so that’s something to consider!
I sent you a message about bostons newest condo development- The Parker in the theater district was designed to be a building that feels like a private club for its residences & it could be just what you are looking for!

Why is everyone shitting on Seaport? There are people that live in this neighborhood. You can talk up other neighborhoods WITHOUT shitting on another person’s. Yes, it’s all new & modern buildings but just describe it as that vs “bland, no character, suburban idea of a city, etc.” I’ve lived in the city (downtown chicago, nyc, and boston) for 12 years now (first lived in backbay and moved to seaport last year) and love seaport. Let the OP decide for himself by visiting these areas vs just talking down on places other people live and actually enjoy living in

It’s literally a bland part of the city with no character. Almost the entire area was built up in the last 20 years. Boston is known as a city with a lot of character, and the Seaport sticks out like a sore thumb. The Ink Block area of South End is the same, but the surrounding area has a lot of charm, so it gets a pass.

I 10th south end, I live in one of the high rise buildings and its a lot of younger professionals. Very quiet and clean, whole foods nearby, lots of great restaurants. You'll meet new people if you use the amenities, especially in the summer when the pool is open
