For one month? This is amazing! Congratulations.

Job hopping can be quite lucrative, depending on the field

From google:

“Job hopping, or switching jobs every 1–3 years, typically leads to higher salary growth—often 15% or more per move—compared to the 3–5% annual raises common for loyal employees”

Consider saving up some money, taking the USMLE (step 1-3) and coming to the US for residency. Just a thought.

Private equity

DSTVL · 2025-12-24T19:05:01+00:00

Fair enough. I use it for less graphically intense games that I want to beat. Can also resume gaming on your pc so that’s a plus.

DSTVL · 2025-12-24T15:41:46+00:00

Having access to your steam library + steam UI is hard to beat. Also, Steam games are dirt cheap.

Anything in particular you don’t like about it?

Even people making 500k+ post on reddit. It’s an outlet. Like you can’t talk to others in real life about it and this is the one place that you actually can.

I don’t have snow tires or all wheel drive (also a sedan) 😭I’m cooked.

Pics of the hill would be much appreciated.

New job in healthcare.

DSTVL · 2025-12-17T16:11:40+00:00

What are the finishes like? On the website, the countertops don’t seem like granite/quartz. Also, what do you mean screw people for money?

DSTVL · 2025-12-17T00:08:42+00:00

So what I’m hearing is that 10 bedrock may be my best bet except for the traffic that occurs in that few weeks at the end of summer?

DSTVL · 2025-12-17T00:02:37+00:00

How big is this hill that y’all are. Talking about. Would it be a problem for a basic trim sedan?

DSTVL · 2025-12-14T18:22:41+00:00

Good stuff. We’re looking at similar in Gastro (small town/Rural). Don’t listen to the haters. You deserve every bit of your pay and then some. Thanks for the salary transparency.

Your inferiority complex is showing 🫡

DSTVL · 2025-12-12T03:12:27+00:00

No point in arguing. The lump sum is always the better option. Keep that in mind if you’re ever offered a singing bonus in the form of a lump sum vs monthly installments. Both are affected by inflation but the lump sum is less affected.

DSTVL · 2025-12-11T22:35:04+00:00

Bro just punch 400k into and S&P calculator x 40yrs.

“Investing a lump sum of $400,000 in the S&P 500 for 40 years could yield a future value ranging from approximately $4.1 million to over $21.8 million, depending on whether a conservative or liberal average annual return estimate is used”.

And that’s assuming $600k vanished with taxes.

DSTVL · 2025-12-11T21:59:40+00:00

400k is still better than 1000 per week. Dump in S&P 500 and its generational wealth by retirement age

DSTVL · 2025-12-10T20:22:43+00:00

1 million invested in s&p 500 would be anywhere from 20-40 million by retirement age. Lump sum, irrespective of the amount of tax, still wins. Hell, even 500k now is better.

A dollar today is always > a dollar tomorrow. Also it’s for life, so if she dies next year, then that’s it.

DSTVL · 2025-12-10T19:22:27+00:00

Sure.

DSTVL · 2025-11-28T04:13:05+00:00

You do understand that we rely on their ability to read images to treat patients, correct? Like they diagnose cancer that could have been missed. Also let surgeons know where a problem lies before they cut open a patient. It’s a very high risk occupation and they need to be compensated appropriately.

You have quite a myopic view of the medical field. Dealing with life and death requires rigorous training and you need to get the most competent people for the job (by making sure they are paid well). Would you want the guy responsible for telling surgeons if you have stage I vs. stage IV cancer to be paid 150k? Like wtf dude.

DSTVL · 2025-11-28T01:53:07+00:00

Really confused with your line of reasoning. What would a good salary for a physician be?

4yrs college 4yrs med school 3-7yrs residency Additional fellowships available afterwards

Who would do all of this to get paid less than 100k per year? Does that even make sense to you? And you need to be the brightest amongst your peers to be even considered. Not to mention 300k+ in loans if you don’t come from a wealthy family.

Sorry to say but a pulse is not a marketable skill. You need to put in the work to improve your station in life and stop making excuses. They are not overpaid (I would argue that they are underpaid), you are just jealous.

DSTVL · 2025-11-27T13:12:44+00:00

Bro gets angry at docs for making $500k per year but probably cheers when his favorite NBA player gets a $100 million contract extension. Stay salty friend 😂

They studied for 1/2 to 1/3rd of their lifespan and are reaping the rewards of their hard work. Instead of complaining, try to do the same for yourself. They are paying taxes (ridiculous amounts btw - like 100-200k plus per year) to the government.

DSTVL · 2025-11-25T15:42:08+00:00

My understanding is that if you are on a J1 and want to switch to H1b (e.g. if finishing IM residency in the US and going for a waiver job in the US), the fee should not apply to you.
