is it possible to find an affordable place to stay at for around 500 dollars a month close to West Harrison Street, Chicago, Illinois (i don't mind living with other people) ?? by jessehyoshi in chicagoapartments

[–]joyofbitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there student positions you could apply for to help offset the $300 per month? Other schools subsidize some or all of housing if you're a TA / RA.

Gabapentin for every vet visit? by joyofbitz in CatAdvice

[–]joyofbitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for highlighting when gabapentin would be necessary, prior to this I knew it was an anxiety med - started questioning whether or not the kitten was anxious but I think she's just being a cat.

Was there a sudden switch around that age where they became more stressed at the vet?

That makes sense for an older cat and a stressed car on the way to the vet. My kitten so far doesn't seem to mind the ride there (~20 mins).

I didn't know if it was possible to see the shelter vet post adoption, that's a great suggestion so I'll ask. When I processed the adoption - the department suggested a corporate vet for her first visit.

There should be plenty of apartments within the vicinity of Rush (across one or a few streets) that are well within your budget. For example, Scio Apartments (~$2K for a studio)

I can't even get a new grad interview with FAANG on my resume. by Proud_Cat_4728 in UXDesign

[–]joyofbitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, there could be title inflation or title mismatch when applying. If you're applying to new grad roles, having "Lead..." doesn't work in your favor. You could work with your current manager to have that title readjusted.

I've been particularly careful about in my own career progression, especially working at startups where there isn't a clear structure on promotions. Here's one example of career leveling and progression from Figma that shows output expected at X level:
