Top 3 neighborhoods to live in DC for a 24M? Budget of $3000 a month and open to a roommate. Looking for a good mix of fun, safety, and good restaurants. So far I've looked at Navy Yard the most but I'm completely new to the area

Boom

If your budget on your own is 3K a month you definitely don’t need a roommate.

I hear Logan Circle area is good for foodies. Depends where you're commuting to for work (if you are commuting). Agree Navy Yard is a little bit of its own island in DC.

Logan, Shaw, AdMo are the only places I’d be willing to live if I was 24 in DC. Your social life will be walkable, lots of options either alone or with a roommate at that budget.

Wharf/Navy Yard are nice but cut off and a little sterile.
Georgetown and further NW are so much less accessible and more family oriented (save for the college students in Gtown).
VA you will always be traveling into the district unless you have a big friend group out there

Navy yard and wharf are cut off from the rest of the city. What kinds of things are you looking for? Will you be commuting?

Idk what these people are saying. Navy Yard and wharf aren’t cut off from the rest of DC. I came to the wharf almost every week when I lived in NoMa.

Just get on the metro, it’s literally not hard.

Glover House is a 15 min walk from Georgetown and right above a Trader Joe’s. a healthy mix of Georgetown students and late twenties early 30s crowd. it has awesome amenities, rooftop, and it in a quiet location but so close to all the Georgetown restaurants and shops

But it’s so far from a metro. Hope you drive.

I just moved from the Logan Circle area do Navy Yard as a 26 YO F. No regrets. My combined budget was 3600 w my partner and we got a 2 BD 2 BA in a new luxury building with gym and pool. VERY hard to find NICE and NEW buildings in the Logan Circle/Shaw area for that price range. I had a great time in the area but I got tired of it pretty quick and its expensive to be going out all the time, which is essentially what i was doing ( +gym membership + thinking about pools for a hopefully pandemic free summer). Big advocate for Navy Yard now after making the switch, its truly not as isolated as people make it out to be and the buildings are nice + with a ton of deals (i got waived move in costs and 1 month free)

I agree with all of this! It’s honestly a great community. People here are great and there’s lots of bars/restaurants, parks, etc.

I got my 1 bedroom in a luxury apartment with gym and rooftop pool for $2k

Dupont, Navy Yard, or AdMo

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts.

It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.

I am paying PF of amount 2040 getting deducted 2 times from my salary 1st according to CTC and after salary is getting credited then again same amount is deducted, so my question is this correct.
CTC is: PF+ 76185
Salary is: 76185-PF.
PF: 2040 so it's getting deducted 2 times same amount every month. Before salary is paid and after.

2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
