I had no choice at the old job, I started a February 2020, they went remote at the end of March. I was JUST figuring out my role there, and had to learn everything else over the three years alone. So being in office this go around is a great fit for me

Your girlfriend's dad Mike from Mikes carts at MCV/downtown? Mike has been trying for a few years to get rid of his commerical kitchen and sell off his fleet of food carts.

My office is an “open office” type place which is the only reason I prefer 2 days/week there instead of 3 - but I do like being in the same place as my teammates on those two days!

I have also switched jobs a couple times in the last two years, and I can’t imagine trying to get up to speed while working fully remotely. I feel like I was able to get to a “full contributor” level at my current job within 2-3 months - probably would take me at least twice as long as that if I wasn’t able to have face-to-face conversations with my coworkers.

Reply to Am I a dummy for wanting to live in a corporate apartment complex in Short Pump or Glen Allen? by Electrical_Order_442

Have you looked at the Libbie Mill/Midtown area apartments off Staples Mill and Broad? New apartments with modern amenities with some solid restaurants and shopping options nearby. A lot closer to the city than Short Pump, but without downtown parking issues or slumlords. I don’t have any clue on pricing or quality, or speak of them with any actual firsthand knowledge. I have just seen them and thought they might be a good compromise between city and full-on suburban life.

1 day a week makes a big difference! In my experience you start getting diminishing returns after that - 2 days a week is even better than 1, 3 days a week is maybe just a tiny bit better still, and 4-5 days per week are actually worse.

Then again, I actually like my job, office, and coworkers - so my experiences/preferences might be different from most others.

Reply to Restaurant Recommendations by pisceseason98

How big of a party? Are their dietary restrictions/preferences? Are you looking for something low-key and informal, at a less-expensive price point? Or are you looking for something more upscale and sit-down? There are lots of great spots in town, but an informal party of like 25-30 would do well at Bingo Beer. A smaller (but still large to a restaurant) party of 10-12 could try one of the newer, more upscale options, like Kismet or Acacia. It really depends what you specifically have in mind. Brambly Park is another option. It also depends what part of town you are looking at.
