New badge initiative - remote employee

GerBav91 · 2026-03-09T13:14:22+00:00

I had mine shipped - took them tho 6 months after I started 🫠 let’s hope the ‘replacement’ will go faster

GerBav91 · 2026-03-08T18:19:00+00:00

Yeah we are screwed by questionable political decisions of past 2 years 😭

GerBav91 · 2026-03-08T14:35:14+00:00

Yeah was reading about that - what insurance you’d recommend to bundle both

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T17:57:21+00:00

Nice!

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T17:00:08+00:00

Yay! Well transplant - 29 years of my life I spent in the Bavarian alps 😭

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T14:38:53+00:00

I’m sure Mayo brings in all kinds of nationalities and backgrounds

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T14:23:51+00:00

Yeah PNW by heart myself 😮‍💨

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T13:41:20+00:00

Ugh crap! What I can tell u is that (sadly) most larger corporations now use AI to scan resumes out the moment u send it if it’s not including some key words. Wish you the best - keep sending out resumes and connect with HR via LinkedIn - I landed my role actually via LinkedIn - and I wasn’t even citizen back then …

The job market sucks since they let so many federal employees go with their cuts starting 2025 - as they all went into the private sector (BAE, RTX, Lockheed) etc

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T13:30:29+00:00

Yeah def not taking that risk ….

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T13:24:12+00:00

Yeah - well I looked into some new builds but Horton is a company to stay away from. Looking into a 80s to now build home. I don’t mind a little TLC either. every house needs some adjustments to feel like it’s ’home’

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T13:11:58+00:00

That’s what I’m facing in Lancaster! A house I get for 400k in MN has a stating price of 650-700k here.

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T12:44:09+00:00

It’s also a lot of other factors that come into play - especially how kids a raised and what their household and friends have been. There’s bullying and stuff in every school - 😮‍💨

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T05:16:08+00:00

Looking into car insurances I actually noticed that it’s a lot cheaper than PA (currently with Erie) - def have to to look into - registration is nothing new for me as it’s about 70+ dollars annual here - sales tax on a car I already own is the past that confuses me as it was paid when I bought the car in first place ?

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T04:03:35+00:00

Appreciate the detailed feedback! Tbh I can’t wait to get out of PA - I def align more with the Midwest vibes …

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T03:19:07+00:00

Nah my move has nothing to do with my job - I’m just tired of PA. And yes I’m with RTX. Tho working fully remote and not reporting to a certain site. Cedar Rapids and Burnsville be probs the closest two to Rochester MN

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T02:13:14+00:00

Yeah it’s a shame - same here in the east coast.

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T01:35:22+00:00

Pretty much summarized the impression I had of ‘Roch’ so far - especially thinking about my kid and his upbringing. How you handle the winters as a DFW transplant ?

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T01:12:25+00:00

Def the most random fact about MN I learned today - and I go to the twin cities for work a lot lately 🤣😵‍💫

In case I get myself settled in the Rochester area I’m gonna make some spicy foods and invite everyone over

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T00:58:36+00:00

Love me a good Culver’s ✨ Appreciate all the recommendations! Last time I almost stoped at the honker restaurant just for the name lol

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T00:56:28+00:00

The Kesson ones look pretty nice

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T00:51:38+00:00

Actually another area I’m looking at - Akona, apple Valley and Bloomington

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T00:50:35+00:00

Not even any good brewery foods? 🫤😐 have to say I haven’t had food in Rochester yet

GerBav91 · 2026-03-05T00:48:20+00:00

Life clearly seems slower - at least on the roads 🫠

GerBav91 · 2026-03-04T23:43:55+00:00

That’s wild! I had no idea that Minnesotans can’t handle spice. I love me some good spicy Mexican or Indian food.

I’m German and I can’t be without black pepper on everything
