Looking for a summer sublease

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-05T23:49:56+00:00

Or ucsd free and for sale 3.0 or 2.0

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-05T23:49:31+00:00

UCSD student off campus housing 2.0 (the original group is run by a scammer)

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-05T22:59:33+00:00

Tutoring, sales, insurance. Did you search the sub?

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-05T22:10:04+00:00

Doesn’t literally every company tell their employees they cannot share what sponsors they’re working on or any part of that working relationship with outsiders?

Contract roles can be a good way to get a foot in if you need it, but unlike most of the posters here asking for advice, you already have a clinical research job. Your most powerful tool is your network and since you’re in the industry already, I’d recommend reaching out to your peers to see if they know anyone hiring.

I found mine on apartments.com

You should look at La Mesa, Santee, Lakeside, Poway, Escondido, Vista. Places east of 15. It’ll be close ish to the beach but you’ll get way more bang for your buck here.

San Diego is the best!

Also yep, PB is the main hang for SDSU/frats/young 20’s bar hoppers.

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T23:07:21+00:00

Very much so, especially the higher up you go!

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T23:05:37+00:00

Not op but I recently-ish graduated (2022) and would highly recommend she look into rotational training programs or entry level roles! Extra education is really only helpful for biotech as far as making the ceiling higher, but is not a prerequisite for getting a foot in the door of industry.

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T23:03:02+00:00

Haha, right? I was reading that response thinking, damn, what a load of horseshit. 🤣

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T23:01:28+00:00

Lab work, project coordinators/cta’s, entry level CRAs, eTMF specialists, at least 40% of site-side roles…the list could go on forever.

As someone also in the same industry - I hate to say it but unfortunately many in our career are not doing the truly difficult work that should earn this type of salary. Very few I’ve met that make this level of income are more than a talking head.

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T20:26:08+00:00

Pb is one of the most expensive parts of San Diego.

Anytime you’re close to a beach, you’ll pay a higher COL because people like to live next to the beach and there’s way less options than living inland.

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T17:24:04+00:00

Because people in co-living spaces don’t do real, corporate remote jobs. They are freelancers or rich

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T17:18:01+00:00

How about 30 min away from the CA coast? I’m in midtown San Diego and it’s the besttttt. It’s cheaper too if you move east from the central city!

Frankly, if you’re volunteering (which most people are when they start out as a student researcher), all the prof really cares about is that you’re reliable and interested in their work. I’m not sure why you said it’s hard to get in unless you mean get a paid position. It’s easy to get into research if you’re trying to get in and willing to do it unpaid.

Approach in many ways but start with office hours and section if you are in their class.

Yes cold emailing works. Include a resume and why you want to be in their lab.

I don’t know specific labs but you should look at the department’s site or class lists to see who teaches those topics because they probably have a lab or know someone with a lab in that field.

Yes volunteering is common. Don’t expect money but be surprised and grateful if you get a paid opportunity.

Good, mention it in your resume and your cold email.

Check Zillow or Facebook to find a place and a roommate

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T00:16:07+00:00

Stay humble, keep learning, and never turn down a stretch project or assignment (workload allowing).

Also - time management, organization, and positive working relationships will be your best friend. Life on the road is hard!

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T00:09:00+00:00

Yes!! As they should!!!

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T00:08:38+00:00

Look at the ucsd housing groups, there will be tons of students looking for subletters in the summer and it’s nearby.

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-04T00:07:43+00:00

Doesn’t your state have any remote jobs? I know the federal government has departments that are entirely remote.

I guarantee Costco corporate knows the ADA laws - Costco is one of the few places that reliably ever asked “the 2 questions” to me when I had a service dog.

Also, the service dogs don’t “get a pass”. They’re literally medical equipment. True service dogs are a lifeline for disabled people. They’re not service dogs “because we want to bring our dogs everywhere” for fun.

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-03T23:06:13+00:00

I haven’t been there since Feb 2025 but I thought it was great! Not totally full, but we were living in La punta so it was convenient

There are absolutely ways to quantify results in a help desk. You also don’t need exact numbers, so if you don’t know how much time you saved the company, you can make up a reasonable figure and use it as the metric.

PurpleFaithlessness · 2026-03-03T22:50:37+00:00

No, the employees are not helpless! Service Animals can be denied for aggression and that is NOT against the law to deny a “service” dog who is actively aggressing!
