$200k for a household is not high income by any measure. That sentence explains your entire perspective in your comment. E-Class = Poor people If you consider these cars expensive, that’s your problem.

Can easily get more comfort in a budget car by adding packages.

Driven Benz, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Tesla, Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. No way in hell is a C-Class Benz worth it's price. Tesla drives way better and is much more fun. I think it's about TCO, status, reliability and maybe

Thank you. What you describe is exactly what I've noticed after delving into the car world via rentals. If you're buying a sedan -- Toyota/Honda/Kia. If you own a BMW/Audi/Benz, you're not wealthy and you&

Right - a certain segment of the population is incredibly valuable for exactly this service. I include myself in your description - love seeing relevant ads. There's a sweet spot there between those with high disposable incomes, high o

I like this quote: "I see that there are many young people here; as an old man, a little advice... Life can set us a lot of snares, a lot of bumps, we can fail a thousand times, in life, in love, in the social struggle, but if we searc

Read your comments and saw this wasn't the first on this theme. Depending on your status, do you have anything against asking guys/gals to grab lunch? Sounds weird but honestly, I ask out plenty of girls all the time not to date t

This is just plain stupidity. Sometimes I feel like the whole world is ruined by ignorant people in power. As for the Internet, it is exclusively being ruined by ignorant actors in positions of state power. All the while, armies of good peo

Engineers agree with your sentiment. People managers, I'm not so sure they've come to the same conclusion.

"not wasting away in offices" - Yep. Every day I come into an office feels like a waste compared to a day I work from home. A waste of my life to be more specific. Requiring tech workers to be physically located next to each other

Perhaps data from large HR departments would be useful. Although that would limit it to people who stay at the same company. Brings another question, is it possible to find out which two companies in the world have the most overlap between

If you were to study this for corporate standardized careers, how would you go about getting data? I can't think of a reliable, detailed, readily available source of info like that. Maybe LinkedIn for profiles that explicitly state edu

What sort of salary range does a SWE or SRE earn in NYC with respect to the type of person you mention? I've never encountered a SWE who was 10x more effective than the SWE next to him. Perhaps I'm inexperienced.

I've never been, I am ignorant. Alternative - Tech cities with moderate cost of living or suburbs of the majors. So..Texas Triangle (Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio), Research Triangle Park (Raleigh-Durham), Chicago.

I don't understand this strategy. Isn't NYC in the top 10 most expensive places to live? If you're a small company, wouldn't you want to downsize expenses and not pay for excessive salaries, commercial rent, taxes, etc?

Do you ever have issues with (US) candidates not wanting to live in the NYC area?
