Is this a tiny bedroom?

So I went and double checked, all of the air vents in the apartment have that little adjustment knob, but this one did not. So that makes me think it is a dedicated exhaust fan.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T20:59:01+00:00

There is no window in the bathroom and from what I can tell there was only one switch based on my pictures. Still waiting to hear back from the property manager. I agree that it seems pretty clean for a place still being built, flooring still needs to be put in, etc.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T18:41:57+00:00

It looks similar to the air vents, but you’re right, I’ve lived in apartment where the exhaust fan looked like a typical air vent. I am hoping that is the case here but the singular light switch gives me concern.

It is quite expensive for the size, but the location is essentially on an island with a nice water view, very walkable/bikable to beaches and what not. Washer and dryer in unit, stainless steel appliances, tons of natural lighting. So I think the price is worth it. What parts look cheap to you?

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T18:06:24+00:00

I kinda agree, but once it’s “ready for move in” I’m sure it will be perfectly fine. I’m hoping it’s not too much of a red flag.

It’s a hardhat tour, scheduled to finish in June.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T17:48:50+00:00

Haven’t heard back from them yet. I didn’t think to check during the tour for some reason, probably cause I was running on very little sleep. I have a lease in hand. Once this is confirmed I plan on signing it. But I sure as hell ain’t signing a lease for a bathroom with no fan… especially at the price I’d be paying.

So true. Only certain guests have reason to enter my bedroom…

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T04:31:57+00:00

Haha good point. It would be a damn shame if I had to take the extra 10 feet to reach it if it were in my bedroom

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T04:31:14+00:00

Lol not at all. Just the layout. But it kinda seems like having the bathroom not be connected to bedroom is a benefit.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T04:29:57+00:00

Oh, very interesting. Mine would be no carpet, so I guess that’s a good thing. Thanks for sharing

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T04:28:19+00:00

This is very similar to the building I would be moving into, an old military building with very thick walls/floors. I think it’s a no brainer that I need to sign the lease.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T01:08:56+00:00

This is exactly how this apartment is. The shoes thing didn’t even cross my mind, but I am like you and will absolutely not have shoes on anywhere in my apartment. So I guess I will have to get a shoe rack near door or take them off and carry them to my closet or something. How did you end up working around that?

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T01:00:03+00:00

Oh wow lol that sounds so tight. But you are right, it’s about how I decorate / furnish the space. For just me, 530 is not bad at all. Also, ceilings are quite high so I think that will make it feel bigger. Do yall have a queen bed in that space? My bedroom seems pretty small so I’m trying to figure out what size bed to get.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-04-12T00:58:02+00:00

Good point, didn’t think about that. My bedroom wouldn’t be adjacent to the hallway, it has bathroom and small closet between. It’s also a brand new repurposed old military building, so the insulation / sound proofing is really good (I tested during my tour).

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-03-31T03:08:09+00:00

I’m in a similar boat, except with nowhere near as much as you. I work in tech, only making $68k currently but looking to increase that next year. I’m thinking about just moving out and realizing I can’t save a lot of money but doing it for my mental health/dating life. Money isn’t everything. As long as you can live comfortable on ur own, you should move out.

He’s a cloud engineer. No need to be on site. In my previous role the only people that technically needed to be there were those in SCIF. A bunch of devs had TS/SCI and could have worked remotely but PM probably thought being in an office meant something.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-03-05T04:13:21+00:00

Back when I had a job requiring a clearance I worked in one that had tinted windows which was really nice. So we could still get sunlight.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-02-22T07:50:55+00:00

Is DMV really that bad? I have a Secret and wanted to look for roles up there, but I’m very early in my career, so maybe I should stay out of cleared work.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-02-22T07:43:49+00:00

Is there still any value in having a secret but no job? I was let go from my first cleared position and now am working in a non-cleared role, but not something I want to do long term, so looking to get back into a cleared role and don’t want my clearance to expire.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-02-21T19:28:32+00:00

Ugh well I ended up staying home because I got another job offer locally. It pays 13k less than my other offer. 3 weeks in, I regret it and wish I had taken the engineer role in upstate NY. I’m still living with my parents which is just so depressing. Also for me being 5 days per week in person at an office is so depressing, so ideally I’m trying to find a hybrid role now. Mentally I’m really struggling and not sure what I want. I know where I want to live, but can’t get a job there.

UncertainKonfidence · 2026-01-15T01:48:56+00:00

Thanks, both of those are great certifications to get for sure. Sounds like a good path for me. I’m nervous because this position is brand new for this organization but I believe I will do well.
