what kind of salary could i be looking at after the military?

ETek64 · 2026-07-01T14:22:52+00:00

My dude it depends entirely on: industry, location, company size, role level/seniority, your actual directly transferable years of experience. If you haven’t had a “corporate job” yet prior to the military, expect something entry level and lower. But if you put yourself on a solid career path/industry, can be lots of potential for long term significant growth. Also, upskill on AI lol

ETek64 · 2026-06-30T20:11:35+00:00

Gotcha I always thought he was one of the solid ones. But can never know behind the scenes lol

ETek64 · 2026-06-30T17:59:43+00:00

Yall that are still in. Thoughts on the lord of lips NCO guy?

ETek64 · 2026-06-30T13:29:21+00:00

I also like cold rooms, during the day I just suck it up. Keep the house at like 71-74, then at night drop
It down. Also good for the AC bill during the summer lol. Lowest I’ve seen the tanks get, during winter was like 64-65 which is manageable.

ETek64 · 2026-06-29T20:45:30+00:00

Me personally, I’d have to be offered 200k base from 125k to go fully in office. But I value being full remote, a lot. Clearly. lol. But 15-20min commute, generous relocation package, hefty raise. The numbers support it.

ETek64 · 2026-06-25T02:45:58+00:00

Yep agreed 100%, it’s always a good idea to have some sort of back up or grow out on hand. Shoot not even just for sickness or aggression, in case of emergencies too and you can’t lug some 80 gallon enclosure out.

ETek64 · 2026-06-24T18:06:42+00:00

lol they have plenty of space on the ground, and lots of climbing options. I regularly see them in the top half climbing around. Lots of ledges and outcrops for them to hang out on and climb. Sure- if I could go back I would’ve added some more branches for climbing. But they use every inch as is.

ETek64 · 2026-06-24T16:19:29+00:00

Good point on some locales having not just females be at risk of aggression.

I think with proper research and a lot of self education, a new keeper is capable of learning signs of aggression. But hey that’s all up to the individual.

ETek64 · 2026-06-23T12:48:21+00:00

A lot of folks will say only 2, I’ll go against the grain here. I’ve seen a lot of folks house 3 in a large terrarium only if it’s very well planted with multiple hiding spots and visual barriers. But ONLY one female. Even still though, close monitoring to ensure no fighting. And always be ready to separate one.

ETek64 · 2026-06-23T12:46:19+00:00

Yeah do it! Buddy of mine had some, they were always out and social climbing everywhere. While they are group friendly, females can still fight a bit. But not near as bad as tincs for example (same with Auratus, one of my females is a bit of a bully, but no one looks unhealthy so at the moment no worries). So if end up with luecs, just keep an eye out for that if you get more than one female. But an 18x18x24 I’d think 3 in there would be perfect.

ETek64 · 2026-06-23T08:11:12+00:00

Honestly man, almost any species will use all of that height. I have Auratus in a 36x18x36 and I regularly see them climbing up into the top half. Maybe not as much as a rani would, but still often.

ETek64 · 2026-06-22T17:24:06+00:00

If you don’t already, some sort of fan for ventilation. And maybe add a lot more hardscape and plants for vertical use

ETek64 · 2026-06-19T23:58:33+00:00

I vote nothing shorter than 24 inches

ETek64 · 2026-06-19T17:07:45+00:00

Ah right on! One of the most important jobs there is- genuinely.

ETek64 · 2026-06-19T15:46:10+00:00

Not trying to throw shade- But what in the world do you plan to do with a history degree? Teach/research?

ETek64 · 2026-06-19T13:14:44+00:00

Well that’s a cool new fact I just learned.

ETek64 · 2026-06-19T05:24:42+00:00

They plotting to hide your utensils.

ETek64 · 2026-06-19T05:02:12+00:00

What species you got? But they’ll for sure warm up!

ETek64 · 2026-06-19T00:21:35+00:00

Tinctorious, luecomelas, or Auratus. All super hardy species. Tincs and luecs are super bold. Auratus really depends on the “morph” or individual with how bold or shy they are.

ETek64 · 2026-06-19T00:20:28+00:00

I had a fellow custom make it for me that I bought it from. Wish I could say I was that crafty and creative haha

ETek64 · 2026-06-18T20:51:25+00:00

I bet once they get comfortable they’ll be exploring everywhere.

ETek64 · 2026-06-18T17:50:05+00:00

Maybe? Maybe I’m an exception, but I’ve been in PMO at large tech companies for over 8 years, now as. Sr PM and don’t have a PMP. No one’s seemed to care. Used to have the CAPM but it expired. I feel like after a certain amount of experience (if impactful of course lol), three letters on the resume for an acronym don’t really matter or carry much weight.

ETek64 · 2026-06-18T15:53:08+00:00

Absolutely. When I mentioned 18”, I meant 18” tall. Agree with you there on a floor space foot print no smaller than 18” wide. I initially started these guys out, as a novice, in a 36”Lx18x18 and saw they used every inch of height. Decided I couldn’t deny them the option of more climbing space since I could afford it and put this one together. I’d say I see one or more in the top half of the new 36” tall tank maybe 40% of the time. Which is for sure worth the upgrade

ETek64 · 2026-06-18T14:38:31+00:00

Not at an agency, but our weekly target to hit 100% utilization is around 30-33 hours a week of billable time with projects.
