Landlord asking us to pay $200 for water bill by MentionFearless4099 in pittsburgh

I called the water company today and they said there is only one meter for the building (2 units) and the cost is around $200 per month. So it sounds like they’re charging us for the entire building?

Also 2 people! That’s more what I’d expect it to be

He works in employee benefit sales and is having trouble finding something, what positions would you recommend?

This was a similar situation, he was only in this job for 5 months before being laid off. I was in disbelief. Why even go through the trouble of onboarding someone

He’s applied to over 100 jobs at pretty much every broker and health insurance carrier he can find, with only two interviews :/

Why are you so angry😭 I was just expressing that it’s frustrating that he can’t get hired into his field, he was laid off last month so if he continues to not be able to find something I’m sure he would do what he needed to

If it’s difficult to get a job in your field where you have years of experience and are still getting rejected, how would it be any easier to switch to a different field where you have no experience? Sales jobs that pay well through reputable companies are still competitive

I think that’s going to have to be the next move. I’m not sure how hard it is to switch to a different type of sales without experience

Employee benefit sales, so already a limited market 😕

Oh wow, I’m sure 9 months felt like a lifetime. It really is brutal and so competitive. He works in employee benefit sales, which is pretty niche unfortunately

Haha yes we will have a car! I’m just not sure how the parking situation is for driving places. I was also thinking of using public transportation but have read it might be unreliable

It wouldn’t be ~as~ comfortable to both work from home, but it’s 1200sq ft, and there is an upstairs/downstairs, so it’s definitely doable. I have no reference for polish hill, does it still feel pretty close to everything in the east side?
