[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks again for all the support and great advice. Will take many of these to heart.

I don’t think my school’s reunions and alumni clubs are notoriously inactive (guess which Ivy I went to, haha). I am trying to find new friends, but it is hard. My roommates all went to Georgetown (I have four of them), and they were all BFFs from Georgetown. I decided to live with them because they posted on a DC Facebook Housing Group saying that they needed a fifth roommate.

I now realize my mistake. These four all are really close to each other and couldn’t be less interested in talking to me. They are really involved in each others’ lives, but won’t even say hi to me in the morning. They hosted a party in our house and didn’t even tell me about it, which is absurd since I literally live with them. One of them locked me out of the house, and when I approached her about it, she was extremely apathetic. Last week, three of them threw a birthday party for the fourth roommate — again, they never told me about it and were hostile to me when I went downstairs during the party (in my OWN house!) to grab a snack. I probably should’ve roomed with DC transplants like myself.

I took the MBB job mainly because I had $40k in student debt when I graduated college (even after significant amounts of need-based financial aid). It’s down to $25k now, but I definitely don’t feel financially comfortable outsourcing my housework — I basically live like a Hill staffer making $30k/year even though I make almost quadruple that.

I also know that as a first-gen Asian woman from modest means, I should take jobs that have great exit opportunities, prestige, and pay, even if it means I’ll be unhappy — there are no other options for someone of my SES. So no, I can’t leave my job.[/quote]
