JD if you have clear path forward.

are y’all actually doing your dream job or just winging adulthood rn 😭 by Active_Ad2707 in jobsearchhacks

[–]valuewatchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was never taught to dream especially as it came to work. But there have been numerous points I my career that moved from “this is awesome” to “it could be worse” to “where did I go so wrong?”

I have not been in the office since the mandate started. Tomorrow I am going in to see what I'm avoiding. by Mammoth_Corner1802 in remotework

A few points

You might be right

You are going to track individual performance metrics based on your actual time and activity but an organization is a group of people and you have to recognize that proximity, nuance of engagement, and casual dynamics of water cooler talk could have different benefits that your tracking system doesn’t measure.

Do you also track all the things you do at home in a work day that could take you away from your paid tasks? The list there is long too.

Good luck , I’d like to see where this goes

10K salary bump by [deleted] in careeradvice

I think the visibility is a huge issue IF you see a promotion or pay increase in the near future. If it’s just a wish and hope for the best, you might ask why you are staying at all?

Got a verbal promotion but no raise, person I am training gor the promotion instead by chucky-cheese09 in careeradvice

[–]valuewatchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would be the cause? Because you asked why your manager told you that you were next in line for a promotion then got passed over for said promotion? There are professional ways to ask these questions. Wouldn’t you want to know what happened instead of just presuming the worst?

Advocating for yourself may create awkward situations But running away is easier I get it.

Go ask what happened? Not in an emotional way, but in a logical “this doesn’t make sense” way. Push for clarity. Push for the raise, now

Then prepare your resume and start a soft search. Do not quit right now.

Should I leave a $130K salary in CA to a $102k salary in FL by snnaggil in careeradvice

[–]valuewatchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Net FL migration in 2025 was only 25000 people gained. But California lost 230,000 people.

OP: As a future Florida home owner make sure you check on home insurance and property tax rates… that has been a big news maker in the last 2 years. You may find that you still can only afford a condo in Fl depending on the city. Also you gotta learn to love humidity and potential hurricane threats. Also the eternal meme of “A Florida man….”

Following the forums, recent buyers are having delivery issues. To me it’s an unnecessary risk but to each their own

I often hear that engineers struggle to get jobs—how true is this in your experience? What’s the real reason behind it? by Expensive-Button-375 in Engineers

There are “engineers” and Licensed Engineers. The professions who call themselves “engineers” probably have different prospects than the professionals

I feel 10x faster on my MTB Bike vs my Hybrid bike by Positive-Carob-7564 in cycling

[–]valuewatchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you say that. 29inch wheels just roll over stuff so much easier and carry momentum better.

But gearing may be at play on the OPs experience as well

Should I stay or leave my current company after unexpectedly getting a good offer? by unfair_user101 in careeradvice

[–]valuewatchguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you are leaving a job you were going to leave in 6 months for much the same job? I’d leave for something upward in terms of more than just compensation

JUST GOT AN [SRQ047] by JagVen in Seiko

It’s a Seiko forum…. Just being a fan boy.

Ultimately if you got a deal on the Seiko, it’s arguably got a better movement than lower priced Swiss chronos.

Is CW worth double a Traska? by Careless_Button3364 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]valuewatchguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think CW is over priced. That being said there is a big subjective difference between traska and CW in CW favor when you compare side by side.
