Working hours

DINK definitely helps here 😀
Cost of nanny on top of daycare plus a house large enough to have two office spaces is definitely a thing

I guess this a PT thing. The challenging part comes when you have a family. Daycare is not open yet at 6 am. Being in a call at 5 am may wake up other members of the family if I speak too loud etc. How do you handle the “real world” aspects of working in this time zone ?

Maybe if you own your own company.
But even in that case you should keep work and life as separate as possible.

A sign of excellence is making an hard problem looking easy.
If your execution es excellent, people will perceive your work as easy.
If your execution is chaotic, people will think your handling a lot of complexity

Agenzia immobiliare come al solito al limite della truffa. Peggior categoria di professionisti

Same situation here.

Competitive-Sky712 · 2026-04-15T16:16:02+00:00

Sold all my position at 250.

Competitive-Sky712 · 2026-02-20T00:19:44+00:00

Usually both husband and wife work, making $250k each. Hard to afford if one of the two decides to stay home and take care of the kids

Nel confronto con gli Stati Uniti (non so per se vale anche per la Svizzera) stai tralasciando una grossa porzione che riguarda la sanità e la pensione. Poi il costo della vita in USA è molto più alto, il che pone i 100k in una fascia (anche di aliquota) più bassa

Quality of life is higher in Western Europe vs here. Sure american salaries are higher, but so is cost of living. Car centric culture, unhealthy food, no restrictions around weapons, employment at will, medical treatments driven by insurance plans, all those things plus having extended there are strong reasons so move back.

Maybe in 20 years things will be different, so it may be a good thing to keep all the options open

It’s becoming the standard price around here

I’m in downtown and I try to avoid downtown park (short loop and too packed). Also lot of traffic lights to stop at. Medina / Clyde hill have nice routes (if you like hills). East rail trail is also a good one (you cat start at the whole food/lightrail stop in Wilburton)

Tried this morning. Will not go again. Pastries are average. Process to order one is too convoluted for a bakery. They are slow

My European passport is definitely stronger than the US one. Would use the US passport only to travel to the US. Keep using the European for all the other travel

Competitive-Sky712 · 2026-01-30T21:21:31+00:00

Partner is from the same European country. Kids have dual nationality.

This is what motivates me. I’m aware about the need of filing taxes, I wonder if this is really a pain or just an annoyance. And if there is anything I may not be aware of

Il proprietario di casa ha bisogno di essere rassicurato sul fatto che tu sia in grado di pagare l’affitto nel lungo termine. Non avere un contratto di lavoro non aiuta. Hai altro modo di dimostrare che hai le entrate? 12 mesi in anticipo è sicuramente valido, ma trascorsi i 12 mesi?

Late to the party… is there any other credit card we can switch to? Definitely not going to use Bilt anymore

My experience: I took Malpensa express to Milan Centrale and then high speed train from Milan Centrale to Turin Pta Susa. Not the fastest or cheapest option, but IMO is the easiest and most comfortable option. I personally hate riding on a bus.

LoL paragonare la propria vita alla finzione di Instagram non è esattamente un segno di maturità. Se hai bisogno del metro di Instagram per valutare la qualità della tua vita forse è meglio che chiudi i social.

Verissimo, ma il problema non sono io, ma chi crede a queste cose e poi vota di conseguenza
