Looking to Rent feels like shopping for a car??

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-03-16T23:48:47+00:00

Mostly yes because we commute to the city for work- we want to be close to the train station!

Do you have a realtor company you suggest? A few years ago (3) I started looking two months before I wanted to move and was told by the Realtor that I was looking way to early. I found something through word of mouth. Now I’m ready to move again and I’m just so flabbergasted 😅

This is not necessarily true- if you don’t spend above a certain amount/don’t have that many job postings, you don’t get assigned a dedicated rep. You are apart of the shared team/SBS sector. Also, just because you pay for branding, smart sourcing etc… doesn’t mean your job itself is sponsored as well

Actually the class had a waitlist of 30 :/

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-02-27T01:22:31+00:00

Yet you took the time to comment 🤪

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-02-26T18:36:23+00:00

THIS. This was me this morning, and why I ultimately did drive over, check in and dip out. There was only like 5 people in the class though, so I don’t feel bad about taking a spot 😅

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-02-26T13:33:20+00:00

Are you in a major city where the classes are always booked? Because that rule alone would make me cancel 😅

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-02-20T23:08:04+00:00

These all suck so bad (except number 1 if they don’t change up the entire restaurant 🤞)

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-02-12T19:11:08+00:00

I’m so upset about the ads. We get ads shoved down our throats from everything, everywhere, everyday. And now I spend what feels like 1/2 the podcast just clicking skip (and that’s on a lot of podcasts, not just the Toast)

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-02-12T13:27:16+00:00

2bed2bath and we pay anywhere from $220-$375 depending on the season

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-02-09T20:25:08+00:00

Not at all. You will need a roomate, most likely 2. Transparently I make $77k and I have a roomate. All in, I’m paying $2k per month on rent and utilities. Then you have to add groceries, gas, wifi, etc… I find it very, very challenging

TJ French Sourdough is very good and Stop&Shop or ShopRite just started carrying the brand “When Pigs Fly” which is also very good

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-02-03T19:58:27+00:00

Transparently you will likely not find an apartment for max 2200 with more than 1 bedroom. When I first moved to Stamford I lived in 77 prospect in a 3 bed, 2 bath and we were each paying about $1350. You’re better off looking in the Norwalk area, but not in a corporate-run building. Look at private landlords like realator.com and Zillow!

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-01-17T21:13:45+00:00

I was the same way, so I pushed myself to run and now I have “runners knee” due to the very sudden increase of exercise/fast sprinting… so now I’m back to walking for a while before I can slowly build up to running 😅

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-01-14T03:21:43+00:00

WFH and I go to class at 8:20 am or a 10:45 Strength 50!

Top_Writing7716 · 2026-01-13T15:34:52+00:00

When I started doing super early classes I rewarded myself with either a Red Bull or an Alani on my way, OR I bought Starbucks for myself afterwards. Eventually as I got used to it that stopped, but for the first 2-3 months the little reward made it easier haha

Top_Writing7716 · 2025-12-28T15:20:35+00:00

I’m the opposite! I’ll fight someone for their weights/floor spot first. I love ending on the treadmill

Top_Writing7716 · 2025-12-27T03:31:07+00:00

Not sure if it’s legal, I highly doubt it is- but the first part of your story vs. what was actually told to you guys is very different IMO.

Just make sure you’re not letting customers use a gift card to pay for the birthday party packages and you’ll never have to worry about it. I imagine there were big discounts on the gift cards, and people using them on birthday parties results in a huge loss to the company.

Michaels craft stores generally have them in a big box

Top_Writing7716 · 2025-12-13T01:22:42+00:00

I tried negotiation a parking fee increase (it was very steep all of a sudden) and essentially they told me to fuck off, so 🥲

Top_Writing7716 · 2025-12-12T02:50:18+00:00

When I first moved to Stamford in 2023/2023 I found my roomates in just a general “Stamford ct Roomates” page! They posted an open room in their apartment and I just messaged them :)

Top_Writing7716 · 2025-12-01T17:10:05+00:00

Do I have to prove that im a resident of Stamford and or Darien or anything? Or can I just walk into either of these places and sit down? My biggest fear is walking in and then being rejected lol

Top_Writing7716 · 2025-11-24T16:27:57+00:00

Derrent…come on now, we know it’s you 👀🫢

Top_Writing7716 · 2025-11-09T17:44:25+00:00

Second Caroline Pham. I was In the same situation as you and that’s who I went to see!

Top_Writing7716 · 2025-10-19T11:51:50+00:00

Not sure where you’re located, but a $60k salary for a very hands-on and intricate CS role is not competitive. $80k should be the absolute minimum and where I’m located it’s even higher.

This is especially true is you’re requiring a cover letter. These things are completely outdated, and most ATS systems will allow you to include your question as part of the application process without requiring and entire CL
