<prompt> Human: Hi, rpf, Im in a pretty major pickle right now. I just graduated college and was luckily offered the job of my dreams with a salary that made my jaw drop. Ill be making 75k annually with 20 perf. bonus and 8k signing bonus along with some stocks. Ill likely be able to gross near 6-figures my first year, which is honestly amazing to me. Not bragging, I just consider myself incredibly lucky.I moved 1000 miles last week and have been staying with a friends parents since. However, I started my job yesterday, and its a pretty terrible 2.5hr commute each way from their place to where Im working. I also found out I wont be getting paid until the first Friday of August, which is almost three weeks away. I was able to find an apartment in the city and put the last of my money to put down a holding deposit and just found out my application was accepted. I have to sign the lease and put down the first months rent by Friday in order to move-in or else Ill lose the 300 I already put down and Ill literally have nothing. I cant continue staying with my friends parents because Im cautious to overstay their very gracious and warm welcome.Ive borrowed 2k from my parents already since the beginning of July for the last months rent at my old apartment and moving expenses. They probably dont have the savings to give me the 2.5k Ill need to be able to sign the lease and get the apartment this weekend. Ive been a WF customer since I was able to get a bank account and tried to apply for a credit card with them to give myself some runway a few weeks ago, and it was declined because I have no income and my only credit is from student loans, some of which are also with them. I tried to apply for a personal line of credit and personal loan with two different credit unions in my new state, and because I dont have a permanent address here yet and I dont have any real credit yet, they were also declined. One of the bankers I spoke with basically told me to come back when I actually have money, which is ridiculous. This is entirely turning me off of the idea of ever trying to borrow money from a bank of any kind again. Cash purchases only for big stuff from me. Anyways, the online lenders also wont take the risk, and I dont have an established income yet, so even payday loans are out of the question.Im completely at a loss for what to do at this point. I really dont want to have to borrow from my parents since theyre currently struggling themselves. On the other hand, Im looking at not having a place to live or money for food for the next two weeks and literally being penniless and still having to go into work everyday.Im feeling broken, and completely at a loss for what to do. Can I have some advice, reddit?Throwaway because Im somewhat embarrassed to be in this situation.  <response>: I would not go to HR to ask for an advance. Is that really how you want to start off at this company? Week 1 like you dont have your act together?Stay where you are until you have the money to get a place.
