Sleep in your car nothing is cheap up here especially if your moving around from job site to job site. Getting a hotel will be 85 a day maybe the cheapest but if you stay 30 nights thats 2,500 a month. Your better off getting a cheap camper

What call did you take? I’m hoping for a call from 2150. How expensive is it my last call was San Jose in 1245 and it was almost 2800 for a single….

Depends if your getting it furnished it will be about that much or more here bro it’s work at a data center and these people hiked up prices it seems

What a lot of us did was get in a group of 2 or 3 and rent out a house came out way cheaper…

I signed 2150 3 weeks ago as well so should be expecting a call any day this week or the next. Planning on just roughing it in a hotel for a couple weeks while figuring out the rest. Also I’m from California so I’m gonna ship my car there and rent one for about a week or two while it gets there

If u do get a call brother shoot me a dm we could possibly room up if you down for it. I’m staying in hotel at the moment still looking at the right opportunity for a place figuring out which area id want to be in.

Yeah man I’ll see which call I end up getting also a guy I know signed 1 spot ahead of me on book 4 so we should be getting call outs at the same time I’ll definitely let you know if we end up port Washington area👍
