Working in IB this summer in Chicago, I'm a guy looking for a roommate, since no one I know is working there. PM me if you're in a similar situation and want to chat/if you have somewhere you're subletting.

Based on previous WSO threads, finding a roommate early is a smart move, especially for a summer IB role in Chicago. Here are some actionable tips:
Preferred Neighborhoods: Popular areas for young professionals in Chicago include River North, South Loop, and West Loop. These are close to the Loop and offer a good mix of convenience and lifestyle.
Budget: Many posts suggest a budget of around $1,400/month for shared housing in these neighborhoods. If you're open to subletting, you might find options slightly above or below this range.
Networking: Use platforms like Wall Street Oasis roommate threads or LinkedIn to connect with other interns or professionals in the same situation. Posting your details (like start date, budget, and preferences) can help you find a match.
Subletting: If you're looking for a sublet, check out listings on platforms like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or even specific housing threads on WSO. Some users have shared sublet opportunities in the past.
If you're open to sharing more details (e.g., budget, preferred neighborhoods), it might help others reach out to you more effectively!
