Yes. Too early. Nobody will hold a place for you for 2+ months.

Extremely difficult to find anything coming up beyond a month out. My lease ends Feb28th and we only now just found a place that works for us - it is highly likely you need to find it within the two weeks leading up.

Probably. It's the summer and apartments are sold like hot cakes

Finding a specific place? That's a little early. Checking out neighborhoods/price points? Perfectly fine

Agreed, the market moves so fast here there were places I saw in the morning that were taken off the market same day when I was looking last summer.

The general rule is that if you see a place you need to be prepared to turn in all rental application paperwork that same day if you like it. This includes two years of tax returns, personal reference letters, credit score report, and income verification from your employer.

Is it okay that I’ve been a slow junior as we’re hours away from closing? I’m trying to be proactive and available to cross things off the list but I’m SLOW: takes me long enough that they do it themselves (even though this wasn’t an issue earlier in the deal) and even on quick tasks or emails, they respond to it before I can click send. There’s also so much about closing that I don’t understand and I feel like I’m bothering the higher-ups on the team whenever I ask. *end anxiety post*

Isn’t it interesting…. If you log on early no one really notices but people soon notice when you log off early. 🤔

I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal.

This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??
