Starting a new consulting job soon. Should I live with my folks at home in Murphy or get an apartment if my office is in Uptown? Feel like it would be an expensive storage unit if I’m on a travel case.

Do you need to be in person at your home office? Then get your own place.
But will you be traveling often or more like once a month at most? If more frequently, then maybe your own place might seem like a waste.
If both - (in office plus some travel) - may as well get your own place.

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
