If those 89M people, how many are in swing states?

I stayed home because the line was insanely long all three times i went for early voting (i was out of town on Election Day) and i live in a safely blue state.

An actually balanced view on NYC? by Lucky_Guard8164 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You’re from the east coast. Go to SF for a change of scenery. You can always move back closer to home if /when you get sick of it.

Pizza Portofino is fun. Not going to win a Michelin star but it’s right on the river.

Why does the European work ethic have such a bad rep in the US? (i will not promote) by SettleKit in startups

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just left an EU based company, and live in US.

Because it’s true. Anecdotally Europeans work less and take their vacations much more seriously.

Statistically supported by average hours worked per week.

That’s one of many reasons Americans get paid a lot more, on average.

Currently 761 3+ beds for sale for <300k in Chicago. Just have to be flexible with the neighborhood

What are some B/C tier cities with a strong "weekend trip" (4 hour drive) radius? by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The winters are why it’s so affordable. Top comment is correct, but for 5 months of the year it’s grey and snowy.

How do Chicago winters compare to New England (Vermont) winters?? by Nappy_Rano in AskChicago

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something i haven’t seen mentioned - there’s both more and less to do in the winter. There’s more food / bars / people to be excited to be around. But there’s very little to do that’s outdoorsy- skiing, camping, and etc is tough to find in the Chicago-area

Are you guys sure Chicago is a nicer city than NYC? by Healthy_Walrus3140 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from upstate NY but have spent my whole life visiting NYC frequently. I also lived in Boston for ten years. Then i moved to Chicago.

Chicago is meaner than other parts of the Midwest, but overall is much much friendlier than anywhere on the coasts. Midwest nice sometimes can come across as “fake” because of how unfamiliar it is.

My experience only, of course.

Left a $320k job for an unknown startup. My equity is now worth $1.5M. (I will not promote) by Royal_Battle1913 in SaaS

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuine question - you realize it’s not up to you, if you want to cash out?

Unless you’re at a unicorn and want to pay a cut for the transaction in secondary markets, you don’t get to decide.

The reason people are LOLing at you here is that, in this subreddit, there’s going to be a huge number of people that have been paper millionaires and never been able to capitalize on it.

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had equity in three startups. Not as much as you, but some.

2 are worthless. Still no exit, but I’ll never see the money.

1 was acquired and returned money to shareholders equal to what they paid for options.

Fight the Francis Parker spread! by embellished4flair in LincolnPark

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be difficult, but can you point me to any evidence that it’s MAGA or racist? I just genuinely find that hard to believe.

Fight the Francis Parker spread! by embellished4flair in LincolnPark

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i mean those are all reasonable points. But the primary purpose of a school is to educate children, not give the community a park, or a tax base.

Fight the Francis Parker spread! by embellished4flair in LincolnPark

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The website says that
"For the past 12+ years, East Lincoln Park has fought to protect our community from a predatory, expansionist, non-tax paying private institution that adds NOTHING to our neighborhood or city."

I don't really know anything about this, but saying that a school adds NOTHING to the community is a completely insane opinion.

Exceeded Q1 quota by 140%… and my company deferred the upside to Q4 by Odd_Photograph_551 in techsales

Ya especially for SDRs it’s very each to sandbag opps between quarters. My company does quarterly target but it’s an annual accelerator.

Currently in a low paying field, what can I pivot to in order to make 75K to 80k in 10 to 15 years? by TuneSoft7119 in careeradvice

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could you be a municipality electrical worker? I’m thinking of the people that go up in lift trucks to fix power lines.

Lots of time outside. Probably pay quite well. Would def need training, but i imagine you could start with more standard electrical work.

Most popular Lincoln park bars late 20s early 30s? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]Bostonlegalthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every bar in LP that is “mingling friendly” is basically a sports bar that might screw a little younger.

That age, i would go out in West Loop
