My networth increased by $600k in the past year, but my actual income after taxes was a quarter of that. I haven't sold and collected gains, but it still feels like I "made" that much money in that span of time, especially si

"A few months" is an incredibly long time when the gap is widening on a daily basis.

It comes with test suites, so that gives you a base to start from. You can at the very least do trial-and-error and come up with some heuristics on the fly. You're at a huge disadvantage to someone who has some familiarity but can conv

I don't mean this to be a callout, but what do you mean you led teams as an L4? Even if you were unofficially leading them, you get caught in the politics trap of not being able to claim any credit for having done so, because that mean

Why can't everything you just described be done by someone who doesn't have the CEO legal title? The CTO can be the CEO in title, but fulfill the duties of both, with consultation from the "CEO" (pick whatever title you

>Consider this: You aim to buy all 100 units, and then you can charge whatever rent you like, right? What happens is sellers discover you are doing this, and then raise their asking prices through the roof. The result is it costs you so

Not true. Do a google search for "rent-fixing algorithms". If you own enough homes in a rental market, you can determine the market rate. An empty house has value simply by depleting local housing stock, since it is giving you gre

I'm going to pick an arbitrary number here that's loosely based on top 100 tech companies by market cap. If you are working for a company that employs at least 1000 full-time engineers, I think you should consider joining a team w

No, I went under significantly multiple times, including 80%+ losses that eventually reversed on some. Though these dips wouldn't have been as drastic if I had not stopped DCA purchases.

I've done it repeatedly over the past ten years while DCA'ing. I basically made my own custom funds with 5-10 stocks, set daily purchases for a specific amount, and didn't think about it. Unfortunately I didn't invest en

Are you saying the shareholders should be held responsible then? Isn't taking responsibility the reason that the CEO is being paid by them?

Your participation in the multiple threads about this tonight is extremely suspicious if you're not someone who has a vested interest in preserving the integrity of Netflix's brand, as both a product and an employer.

There's a recent (2022) game called Ixion with an exploding moon premise. I initially saw it promo'd during a Steam sale, didn't buy it based on some very critical reviews regarding gameplay, and then forgot about it until

It can be 30+ minutes in traffic. I did the Emeryville<->SF commute once when offices opened back up, then decided I needed to move back into the city.

Ok, so which comparatively-paying job is a better choice for her then?

I don't see how this invalidates my original point, can you expand on your argument?

by xenihn 4y ago
It's more level than literally everything else that pays comparatively. At least the single mom in Philly won't have the fact that she didn't go to Stanford completely invalidate her as a potential candidate when it comes to

I lean towards the other poster too. In 1994, my household had a computer with windows 3.1 and games. My dad was a software engineer. I was still in grade school. Every other kid who had a desktop computer and Doom 2 at home had a parent wh

I don't think it's a matter of not being good, just that others are that much better. It might sound similar, but it's not. You're still better than hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people. It's like bein
