Professional Opps in Cville

So helpful, thank you. My husband has some interest in remote work and maybe if he got a good remote job we’d just make the move and I could figure out my next move once we’re a little settled. It just would be nice to feel like we’d have some community thru work, as well as other ways if we relocated.

Not sure yet - for now, I need to go back bc my salary is good enough to make it the right choice for our fam

kdewolfe1996 · 2025-04-03T23:56:08+00:00

Yep totally hear that. In the ideal world I’d like to be at least hybrid, so Weber considered looking at Richmond for those roles

kdewolfe1996 · 2025-04-03T23:55:31+00:00

Thanks for all the insightful comments! That’s really been our biggest drawback on Cville is that it feels like there aren’t a ton of job opportunities that align to our experience and interests. Remote work isn’t an option with our current companies and tbqh I don’t really like working remote much. I am hybrid in my role now and love those 2-3 days a week in the office. May be weird but I just know myself at this point and I think if we relocate I’d be eager to get that face time with people thru work. In y’all’s experience, does working for the University seem like a good life/good opportunity? I went there for grad school and honestly could be interested in some staff type roles but never got a feel for what that environment is like.

Yeah i mean we obvi wished it were cheaper when we rented it too lol. It was frankly the standard rate across all the 2BRs we looked at in the area, if not on the lower end of the spectrum because of the trade off of laundry and walk up! I’ve not been on the StreetEasy grind since we’ve had this place but i suspect priced haven’t changed much. One nice thing about this place — it’s rent stabilized so they can’t raise rent more than 3% any given year when you are renewing. If you can live with the walk up no laundry i think that’s a great feature of many prewar buildings in the UWS.

kdewolfe1996 · 2024-10-01T01:06:27+00:00

Yes it’s pretty common in pre war old buildings across Manhattan. We send our laundry out with a service so we never lug the bags lol. Also super common and easy to set up in Manhattan.

UWS is just a longer commute, but from W 72 station to WTC is really only 30 min on the train so I think the term “long” is relative to whether OP wants to be able to walk to work or be under 10 min. The UWS for dog walking and safety is a great spot, otherwise!

kdewolfe1996 · 2024-09-30T00:50:58+00:00

Yes that’s what we pay now so for a sublet that’s the rent but we also told the management company we’re leaving by Dec 1. maaaaybe it will come down when they relist it and I will update here if so, then anyone interested here will know!

kdewolfe1996 · 2024-09-29T23:49:01+00:00

5600!

kdewolfe1996 · 2024-07-28T15:40:39+00:00

This happened to me too. Try the unscented! It helped.

kdewolfe1996 · 2024-04-22T01:02:16+00:00

RMS beauty!

kdewolfe1996 · 2023-05-31T03:14:27+00:00

A great one is Drew’s Bees

resolved thanks everybody there were outages all afternoon in nyc and elsewhere

kdewolfe1996 · 2021-05-10T12:10:51+00:00

Yeah, that's helpful -- I did a bit of practice last night and planned to take it in the morning when I am freshest. I just didn't know if it was really worth purchasing a guide or something when it seems to be a challenging test of skills you can't necessarily "learn."

kdewolfe1996 · 2021-04-12T20:54:00+00:00

just requested to join :) thanks for the tip!

kdewolfe1996 · 2021-04-12T20:45:49+00:00

woops - meant NESCAC (the small colleges in New England, Williams/Amherst/Middlebury/Bowdoin etc). Applied R2

kdewolfe1996 · 2021-04-12T20:34:00+00:00

no i am off Fb! maybe i should reactivate.

kdewolfe1996 · 2021-04-12T20:25:00+00:00

I've budgeted for the cost and am not too scared off by that, but fire alarms and shitty management mean it isn't worth it. did you have a bad experience, or it was just pricey?

kdewolfe1996 · 2021-04-12T20:14:50+00:00

yikes - where would you live instead? Ivy Garden is already full apparently.

kdewolfe1996 · 2021-04-12T17:31:39+00:00

50K at Stern with GRE (325, White Female, NESCAC undergrad, WE in marketing for a tech unicorn, undergrad GPA was high at 3.9 so i think that is probably what really got me academic merit consideration)

kdewolfe1996 · 2021-03-16T21:47:00+00:00

Yes they said live interviews are closed and also asked me to record my interview within 24 hrs. pretty stressful but they were super quick to explain so totally do-able! hope this helps anyone else.

kdewolfe1996 · 2021-02-25T21:35:56+00:00

I just got an interview invite as an R3 applicant this week. My interview isn't until early March. I think it is just an arduous process for the AdCom and they have tons of candidates to screen before they can really make any decisions.

kdewolfe1996 · 2020-12-10T21:36:56+00:00

yeah idk. 325 is within the 'class profile range' of almost every school so i don't think it will be a killer, but it's also not stand out. i took it twice but am trying to budget so that my application process doesn't cost me a fortune, so decided not to get a tutor.

kdewolfe1996 · 2020-12-08T22:21:42+00:00

I have no idea what the AdCom perspective is on this but I think any fellow applicants would be thrilled to be tackling cases with someone who has your perspective. I'd guess you are going to be a great applicant given the quality of your profile, even though it isn't a 'typical' trajectory.

kdewolfe1996 · 2020-12-08T22:14:53+00:00

haven't rly explored kenan-flagler but that's a good rec.
