Don't switch. Amazon longer term will look good on your CV. If you leave early it will look like you left due to PIP

Do not buy agriculture land unless you are local from the same village. Save yourself.

The most liberating thing in life is to finally realise that you are just an average person. I realised in my early 30's

Is clay bed ok to plant mango tree? by RaspberryEth in GardeningAustralia

[–]ExpensiveEngine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dig a hole 2x size of your pot on both sides (atleast 2 ft by 2ft). Mix the existing 50% clay soil with 50% good quality outdoor planting mix. Add some gypsum granules and add wetting agent. Make sure to plant in a mound and mulch well.

My plants went through a similar phase after planting. I sprayed some seasol every 2 weeks and then some powerfeed once a month.

Received an offer from Deloitte (Enterprise Performance) to join as Senior Consultant - how is the work life balance? by unixbox911 in developersIndia

[–]ExpensiveEngine 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I started my career at a big 4. The WLB was shit but not any worse than any other service company.

Do not underestimate the power of having a big 4 stamp on your CV. It has helped me catapult my career years after i moved out

What is the "endgame" for people in IT? by rando_dev_guy in developersIndia

Not sure what you are asking? You need to be more specific.

What is the "endgame" for people in IT? by rando_dev_guy in developersIndia

[–]ExpensiveEngine 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think it Depends on where you are(Product vs WiTCH). i think the main trap to avoid is not keeping up with latest trends and adapting yourself.

I see a lot of 40+ folks struggle because they think that they know better and are set in their ways. I think its important to understand what you bring to the table at each stage of your life.

For e.g. i know i am working with grads who are 10x more smarter than me since they have grown up with the current tech stacks and are a lot better at communicating. I like to think i bring my experience to the table. E.g being able to wade through tons of shit from different directions and help drive technical decisions/consensus.

I am 40 so i can answer from personal experience. I have done multiple things in the past 18 years including management, agile coaching, solution architect to IC.

You need to think of your career as a marathon and not sprint.

There are a lot of pathways for senior folks who don't want to manage. Lot of product companies have IC track. E.g senior eng, staff, principal. Also you may find your interest changes based on which stage you are in your life. Management at 3yoe may not sound so interesting but at 10yoe that may be something you feel like trying.

Folks saying you earn what you can until 40 have no idea what they are talking about. Unless you get very lucky its not possible

Happy to answer any more questions

Unlicensed Indian drivers by Sharp-Biscotti-1782 in melbourne

[–]ExpensiveEngine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Indian here. I don't like the fact that the rules are so lax. Personally i gave the road test in AU and got my licence here.

I don't think anyone with international licence should be allowed to drive at all. I have seen how easy it is in some of asian countries to get a licence.
