That new Ritz building being built right by South Station. What’s your timeline?

I mean, for $20M why not, right?

What's your budget?

like

Burlington has good schools, many SE Asian families. Not very walkable although there are places to walk to near the Town Common including parks and some stores. Woburn is a city, has a lot of different neighborhoods, some walkable. Large Indian/SE Asian store (Apna Bazaar) and an independent one downtown you can walk to.

Sounds like Brookline or Newton may be your only options. Good luck affording that.

like

Lexington has a large professional Indian population and great schools. You could rent something for 5k a month but if that is your monthly budget to purchase eventually you wouldn’t be able to find anything without a very large down payment. To get to south station you would drive to Alewife and park at the end of the red line and take the red line to South Station. There are no Indian groceries in Lexington.

like

Somewhat cheaper option would be Melrose or Reading. Both are north of the city, with okay schools and some better (but expensive) private schools further north. 5k would.get you pretty far. Closest Indian grocery store I know of is in Woburn. https://apnabazarwoburn.com/

Maybe Norwood? I think it meets all your requirements, but I'll confess I don't know much about their school system.

Brookline or Newton if you want to stick to the T; Needham, Wellesley or Concord if you’re cool with the Commuter Rail and a little flexible on how you define “walkable busy area.”

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
