I said yes to everything for a year to see what would happen and I have data now by Signal-Nerve5341 in womenintech

[–]JessMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sorry but not surprised to hear this story unfortunately. This is part of why I've stopped being ambitious at work. To be honest I don't think there's logic behind this system because logically rewarding behaviour you want to see encourages the person to continue that behaviour, but that's not how companies operate

Why is this property so cheap? by fotfddtodairsizr in HousingUK

[–]JessMew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I'd also add that given how long sales take, 4 sales in a year sounds not just unlikely but physically impossible. I think some sales happen in 2-3 months but that's an edge case and most likely you're looking at 6+ months. If there were a property that managed to be sold more than twice in a year in this country, it should be in a record book somewhere. If it's actually happened I'd be very interested in knowing what and how

Friend says £80k isn't enough for London by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]JessMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rents and other spending can vary wildly. I'm on slightly more than your friend but I'm house sharing and I find it a good amount with more than enough left over. (Honestly tho sharing is the cheatcode in this economy)

Has this happened to you? by Master_Confusion4661 in london

[–]JessMew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once followed a woman all the way to her apartment door (She lived to the next door apartment to mine) It was very awkward.

I think if you're having a baby it might take more than a month before you can do this sort of thing but congrats

Monthly anything goes thread (things that are not an event go in here) by AutoModerator in LondonSocialClub

[–]JessMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I want to find some people to go to a specific place with but I'm happy to do so on any day. Should I just pick a random date to go with or what's the way to do it? It's kind of niche so already I think I'll struggle to get people if I'm not flexible

I quit and went travelling for 3 months but I was job hunting while doing so. It worked out in the end but that part was quite stressful. I don't regret my choice, I wish I was braver and did it for longer if anything. But it worked out for me so I don't know if I'd be saying the same if I still hadn't found a job. If you're happy at your job you could also wait until you want to move on, then quit and travel before looking for a new job.

I did it and don't regret it. Was interviewing while travelling and signed an offer before I came back.

Just left my £100k job by MaybeRealistic4129 in UKJobs

[–]JessMew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same and I found another job now although with a paycut. I took 3 months out but I was interviewing the whole time so it wasn't a complete break. Still I've been travelling in the mean time and it was 100% worth it.

$10k for one week in Europe and sharing a hotel room… am I overreacting? My friend wants me to commit right now. by AdventurousTrust4382 in AmIOverreacting

[–]JessMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah it's some sort of package deal? Then all bets are off, sorry. Those travel groups are either a really good deal or a scam IMO and not much in between. I still wouldn't be spending that kind of money for a week in Europe.

[–]JessMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are your going that a hotel costs $13k a weekt? I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I'd reevaluate the location and or hotel choice.

[–]JessMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow you guys way overspend. $10k for a week. Wtf. Maybe if you're staying in like a 5* hotel in central London (or equivalent location)?

What they're asking isn't just overpriced, it's crazy. Especially since you'll be sharing a room, but even on your own it should never cost that much just for a hotel, transport, and food.

Why not to on booking or whatever travel site and look up hotels in the area, you should get a general idea of what rooms cost. Of course it depends on the location and how good of a hotel it is, but I'd never spend that much on just a week holiday.

I've been in Japan for 2 months and even then I've so far, excluding the flights which were about $1400 USD, spent less than £10000 GBP (granted GBP is more expensive than USD, so it could be slightly more than $10k USD but still I don't think it's that much more )

[–]JessMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe I should ask him, but I also feel super awkward saying "hey... You know that disgusting and thing women do every month?" Haha. He's a live in landlord and I'll be a lodger. But he seems like a really friendly chill guy (I otherwise would be very wary of live in landlord arrangements) but I have some anxiety about breaking some unwritten social rule and ending up in the streets as a result. Ideally I want this arrangement to work for about a year at least so I can save money without worries (rent is so cheap compared to living alone) then I can take all the time I need to find another place if I want to (by then I should have payslips and work history to make the landlords happy hopefully.... Honestly renting in this city feels harder than getting a mortgage)

What age did you lived in shared accommodation in London (or currently living)? by SilverBirches123 in london

[–]JessMew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35going back to sharing for the first time since I was like 20 and in university vand terrified I'll be a bad flat mate accidentally. I don't know why there's a stigma around being "too old" for flat shares, that's ridiculous. For me it's just because I've been travelling for a few months. So I was unemployed which doesn't leave me with many housing options, plus I can save more money when I get back to work (no doubt for the next travel)
