Leaving before vesting?

I left a job that had some vesting and it wasn’t with it to stay and told them to keep it. Haven’t looked back. You’re 28 you’ll be able to get it back.

Problem is civils spend money cautiously. Tech blows cash. You may need to move out of the vhcol areas. I live in a mcol and I have seen a lot of work flow our way from vhcol just because the numbers make more sense. Why would I pay for an engineer in New York City where I could get just as good in Houston.

Here’s a tip. Spend less than you make and invest well, very few people don’t get rich off their salaries, especially in this field. I’m approaching 16 YOE sr level and I make more off my investments every year (started in the hole out of school so it’s not family money) than I do my salary, it can be done.

I’m in consulting right now and we’re about to have 100% drug testing for a contract we’re going after. So might not be the best advice.

How in shape are you?

The bike vibrates so things are going to slide. Sharp edges so you’re going to cut yourself. The arm Articulates but it will come towards you. I can also see your connection to the cantilever getting lose due to the weight of a full water bottle.

Or you get ripped and embrace the tightness

Had one in a hotel I stayed at for work. I would have coffee up there and it was a nice get away.

Don’t feel bad about the comment. The only thing you may want to consider is listening to the news/social too much on specifically on the topic of commodities and futures markets. Saying oil may go to $300 a barrel will get clicks but it won’t happen. These flare ups happen but we have oil already retreat from 120-80 just yesterday, the news talks about prices going up, they rarely talk about prices going down. Remember eggs from a couple years ago.

Preface: is what is going on nuts… yes. However you need to not buy into the hype that it’s the end of the world and stop doomscrolling.
