When to look for roommates?
I am an incoming M&A analyst in NYC. I am coming from a non-target and don't know anybody who I would want to be roommates with from my university, so I have accepted that I'm going to have to find roommates online. Is it way too early to be looking for roommates now if my planned move in date is not going to be until July/August? If so, when would be a better time to look.
Side note: I am mainly using Facebook groups to look for roommates. If you have any other suggestions on finding potential roommates, I would appreciate hearing them.
would start looking now, fb groups, your summer analyst class/their friends, and wso are good places to start
agree with the other comment, try and see if ur bank released a list of people in your class (and maybe ask if they haven’t) and reach out to people that are also from non-targets and see if they’ve already figured it out. worst case you get some housing search advice
Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's never too early to start looking for roommates, especially in a competitive housing market like NYC. Here are some tips and a timeline that might help you out:
Remember, finding the right roommate can be just as important as finding the right apartment. Good luck with your search!
