Are incoming FTs w/ Virtual Training getting apartments now or after Training?

Are analysts moving into apartments once training begins or would it just make more sense to wait until after virtual training so you're not paying two months worth of rent for virtual training? 

I think the bigger question is if there is a buffer time period in between training ending and joining the group in-person? Perhaps this has always been a thing during normal times where there is a space between training ending and work starting? I imagine there would need to be at least a week or two to go through the entire moving process.

Or are people planning to just move one weekend during training?

Signed a lease with a June 1 start date. Saw the perfect apartment with a month free which I knew would go fast. Inventory is drying up so would guess most incoming analysts are moving soon

Would love to move in soon but have no idea when well be in person because we haven't gotten shit in terms of communication. How many of you havent gotten any onboarding communication yet?
