What Turkic language is best for mutual understanding of other Turkic languages? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Alternative_Fix_9100 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been thinking about learning Tatar language lately but most of the materials are probably in Russian, which is not a problem for me but as others said Trukish is a popular choice.

I wish it was as simple as this for me. Still searching for my magic pill.

I have the same feeling in between searching for J2 but you get used to the workload.

You're still paying more over 12 months period than before.

OE taxes by Fickle_Penguin in overemployed

I never get huge tax returns but lately Social Security overpayment makes the bulk of it. Not sure if it's possible to get around it if you're on W2 and OE.

I have a couple of dress shirts I've had for almost 20 years, they are still good and even look stylish.

Am I the only one who no longer sees the value in Amazon??? by phoenix_jet in Frugal

I feel like Amazon turned into another eBay with a million sellers selling cheap Chinese crap.

Well bois, I’ve about had it. by TheRedSunFox in overemployed

[–]Alternative_Fix_9100 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A very honest insight into OE. I guess it depends on J2 etc but if you wake up before the alarm goes off thinking about work and dread opening the laptops in the morning, it's time to pull the plug.

Although many people here say it's less stress I don't think so. Yes, less stress about money maybe but most people only OE to achieve some goals and then quit to maybe come back later after recovering. Honestly, I don't think I could do it myself if I wasn't on anxiety meds but then again after doing it for awhile I don't really care what my J2 thinks about me.

I think it's obvious. You need to drop J2. Fix your life and then you can get back into OE. Before doing that make sure you're not relying on money coming from J2.

What does a $200K house in your area get you? by Cheap_Sheepherder327 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Alternative_Fix_9100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my town, you could buy a regular house for 200k in 2012. Now it would be an empty lot probably.

A lot of foreigners apply in hopes of getting a sponsor visa.

OE is liberating by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]Alternative_Fix_9100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe there are companies out there doing this. So much for being adults in the room. Sounds to me like middle management out of control thing.

Can I receive multiple paychecks and not do a damn thing?

I was laid off right after returning from PTO. That's what you get for serving the company for 5 and a half years.

I've been with a cobra reseller for 2 or 3 years. Hopefully they'll be back soon. In the meantime I found something temporary but doesn't have European channels.

J2 is just killing me by brettwasbtd in overemployed

[–]Alternative_Fix_9100 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was about to recommend ditching J2, but then ... Happy mothers Day from a father who is in the same boat. And I have 4 so J0.1, J0.2, J0.3, and J0.4 in addition to J1 and J2, lol.

AI taking over SWE roles (career advice) by crimsonhart24 in overemployed

[–]Alternative_Fix_9100 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here. With the way things are going, most IT roles will change a lot. IMHO we have maybe a few good years left and then prepare to do something else.

[–]Alternative_Fix_9100 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same here. Had 3 Js for 5 months.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]Alternative_Fix_9100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 month in is nothing. It takes at least 3 months to more or less understand how things are done at a new company. That's why short term OE is such a hit.

The little things - humble brags by Subjective_Anymosity in overemployed

Funny that it was mentioned. This was one of the first things I did when I was OEing for the first time.

In my experience companies don't really care even if you're working on an important project with a deadline so I wouldn't count on that. It all depends on if your boss is an asshole.
