Thinking about moving to a big city with the following preferences. I am thinking about Dallas, philly, or Chicago. What’s your experience living in those cities? Is there any other city I am missing?
1. Growing economy and population
2. Great food scene and things to do as a young professional
3. Relative LCOL can’t afford housing in NY, SoCal, etc.
4. Diversity of culture especially a bigger Chinese presence

Where are you coming from? I spent a year in Boston coming from Toronto (Canada) and I was disappointed by the lack of prevalence Chinese food and culture, but I got the exact opposite feedback from others visiting from smaller towns in the US

I live in Nashville. What you said makes sense Toronto has a big Chinese population which is going to be hard to find in cities other than NY or LA.

If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream.

Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.

Hey everyone,
I am an incoming real estate analyst (valuation) after graduating this past May. I will be starting my new job quite soon and am excited to begin in the CRE industry.

Any suggestions/advice on how to approach this first year?

I started interviewing with a company back in January but they were taking while to make a decision so I put them out of my mind. Fast forward to last week and I found out that I’m newly pregnant. Now, I was offered the job. I don’t know what to do! I hate my current job and this new company seems like a better fit. Do I tell them before I accept the role? I know it’s very early and anything could happen with this pregnancy but I’m torn. Advice would be so helpful!
