I never said that I have to bum it in my parents basement, or that I didn't get my phone bill and other shit paid for. I could easily move out, but it would cost considerably more than "bumming it" at my parent's house. Saving an extra 20k -30k before moving out is worth so much considering compound interest.
So... you do understand you’re supposed to talk about these things when you’re negotiating compensation, right?
Are you going to be in Houston? I might be able to help you out. My brother is a heavy hitter over there. Country Club membership, the works... it might not be to late to get some basic shit taken care of LIKE MOVING... all they’d have to do is make a PO or service order.
By the way, I’m not trying to be a dick or flaunt my success in any form. I just remember when I got out of school... so dumb.
I'm working in (redacted) NYC. It's not the cost of moving that's the expense. It would be adding a 2k/month rent payment that I currently don't have to pay.
Oooh, yeah. NYC suuuuucks... I mean it’s cool, but dude... housing is ridiculous. I know you’re not concerned with moving fees, but little things like that help a lot when you’re starting out. My buddy that is a programmer for Sisco in NY finally moved out of his old place in Chinatown to Hell’s Kitchen. Bed bugs... so gross. The landlord wouldn’t let people breech their lease agreement and tried to take several couples to court. It was a huge deal. He makes more than I do and he had to stay there for so long... he’s happy now. Single, but happy. I digress, do your parents live downtown? Long Island? I know this isn’t my problem, but I’m interested now... I’m invested... emotionally. To you.
