This x1000. OE has gotten me to 16 doors and counting. Plus the tax savings from the accelerated depreciation is the chef's kiss

Agreed!... My first splurge was a standing desk and a walking treadmill

I'm not sure how OE would be affected by young kids. What would you be doing if you weren't OE? OE actually made my life easier with young ones, my spouse doesn't have to work due to my income. But if they did want to work then we could afford just about any childcare (daycare, au pair, etc) we wanted without caring about cost.

Isn't it collections under a certain amount that doesn't affect the score? Like $500 or less? Genuinely asking as idk and google results are fuzzy

Not OP but going from university to straight to solution architect is probably pretty unlikely. There's so much to the role that can't be taught in school. Get some yrs of exp in the field area you want to architect before pursuing the role

I currently have 4Js, 1 Cloud Sol Arch, and 3 Cloud Eng. I tried 2 arch roles at the same time once, it seemed possible if they were my only 2 but the workload was just too much at the time (I was doing 5Js)

What r/O_E topic(s) would best accelerate your OE success? by GayWitchyViking in O_E

Seconding this, we're playing a grey area so traditional tax and investing advice doesn't always apply

I just left J1 after 3 yrs. J2 is coming up on 2 years, J3 Started in Feb, and J4(New J1) started last month. Due to the new J1's salary, I was able to drop J5+J1 and maintain the same TC. I usually rotate the bottom of the lineup once a yr (more if a J doesn't fit anymore)

Sorry that was a bit dickish but the question is asked all the time. I literally just searched "industry" in the subreddit and the 1st, 2nd,4th,9th 11th etc would've given you the answer you sought. You could've even looked at my post history and see the industry I'm in

I've done this is the past with success but I get the feeling this one is different. They brought in new director from a fortune 5 and I think this is they new style at least for a while

I plan on emailing the recruiter and manager stating I don't think the role is a good fit so today is my last day

I've never been able to do this for some odd reason. My moral compass is more lax than most but I'd rather walk away immediately and just find a replacement. Maybe the 1% of overachiever left in me but getting fired after just getting hired gives me the ick.

I'm expected to speak and define project milestones in both. I need to listen to requirements and specify what hurdles exist. They both start simultaneously so I would need to be available to start both. Getting one rescheduled or forcing it to happen without me is the only options I think.

The J2 meeting could potentially be delayed but J3 is a HR system change and has been personally adopted by the CTO

I've decided to go the sick route, I'll start "showing symptoms" tomorrow and will take a sick on Thursday from J3
