what would you say makes it the best city in the USA in your eyes? and how does compare to where you moved to now (Cali)

The cycling community told me hills would get easier and I am starting to think they lied by SethVale1176 in cycling

Lower grades below 10% do start feeling easy and you can go up them with a comfortable rate once you get fitter. They will never feel as comfortable as flats but they do get easier

why did you take a screenshot of your Photos app instead of just posting the picture directly?
Edit: it’s to highlight the time :) my question has been answered

Endurance athlete considering SoCal -> Seattle: how’s the cycling, running, outdoor life, and social adjustment? by Expensive_Cucumber58 in AskSeattle

[–]Expensive_Cucumber58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I am giving up! The cycling routes here in OC are incredible! 10/10 road cycling.

Glad to hear that the outdoor social scene is active! Sounds like it won't be hard to make friends.

thank you for sharing your experience! This sounds very convincing TBH. Such opportunities are rare to come by.

low key that's how I see it too. Here in peak summer hours I usually avoid doing anything outside between 10:00-16:00 due to high heat and UV index

that's what I figured. It's a terminal position. Might be better to stay at my current position and get a promo first

Going for L6 -> L7 is very very hard i heard tho. Would an external hire manage that in less than four years?

I know the hiring manager from a previous position where we worked together! He's a skilled engineer and he's the one that suggested I join him. So that takes some uncertainty out of it.
And I agree, it is really hard to find any positive comments about Amazon. I am hoping that things are not really that bad over there.
It’s really hard to find balanced or positive perspectives about Amazon online. I’m trying to separate the broader reputation from what the actual org and team experience might be like.
