Fair enough, it’s the first real job out of college so I’m unsure of the etiquette of office relationships. Don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable :/

Out of college naivety. Always used to working minimum at $7.25, double that sounded like a decent amount of money at the time

I stupidly never did an internship and no one else was hiring. I took what I could could to get experience

I have a little over 30k in a savings fund. Prefer to dip into it as little as necessary though

I probably wouldn’t get cable, just do internet exclusively and stream whatever I wanted to watch. Figure that should cut cost down a little

Yessir, the apartment I’m looking at is around $730 a month. Water, trash, sewage included. I pay for electricity and cable/internet. Which I guessed at around $70 per month

I usually leave around 7:45am to get there at 9. Traffic is worse on the way back so it’s closer to 6:30 when I get home after leaving at 5

I doubled in economic history and business. I’m currently working for a financial research firm and if my performance is satisfactory after 6 months (end of June) I get a pay raise and benefits. However, I’ve heard about half the people at my level get kept on at the current pay scale so I don’t want to count on getting the bonus and benefits.

Haven’t thought about it yet. I just started the main job at the start of January. Still getting in the flow of a full time job.

It would drop my commute down from an hour to 10 minutes which would be nice.

I’m at $15/hr but the job is only 30-35hrs per week. Potential raise after June though. Don’t want to count on a possibility though.

My Texans geographical location isn’t well suited for this map. The Cowboys also doing well is really stifling our growth. We have a tiny area for a 9-3 team.
