Living somewhere cool / exotic while WFH
Starting FT in August and this idea crossed my mind. If I'm sick of living at home and don't want to move into the closed down city that I'm eventually supposed to start in, why not get an airbnb with some friends in a sweet location until things start to open up? Maybe a lakehouse somewhere, something in the sun like Florida or even Hawaii. For example, look at this sweet house in Hawaii for $86 a night ($21.5 split between 4 people). https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1861034/photos/10308…
Seems extremely affordable why not take advantage of this WFH while it lasts. Any thoughts / other locations you think would be cool?

Looks like paradise...if you’re a broke college student with crippling student loan debt.
No debt here, and looking at 130k+ all in. Good luck with FT recruiting though, intern
I don't really have any good arguments against this, but maybe walk before you run and don't commit at first to doing a super long time. Do it for like a couple weeks at first and then have the crew re-evaluate partway through.
Seems like a decent idea and I’d like to do something like it if my girlfriend didn’t have to go into the office everyday. Echo the above though and maybe do it for a week or two so you can make sure it’s something you’d want to do for a longer period.
one of my MDs is literally on a beach in mexico for a good part of a month
on a video call check in he was literally in a hat and hawaii shirt
I might do my senior year in South America to stay within a time zone or two of my school. As long as the internet connection is solid I see no reason not to if you're doing it safely
Hawaii may be a pain with hours and give the wrong impression - but ya - a lot of people are doing this. Your example seems a little extreme though.
friend of mine did this for about 2 months in Florida. go for it. start out with a couple weeks tho
A few friends of mine did the same but for about a month. Like why not?
Just remember that the market opens at 330 AM Honolulu time if that matters for your job...
