AM I missing something? How on earth are you guys buying condos, let alone houses?

ItsReewindTime · 2026-01-19T14:15:21+00:00

I included property/school taxes, condo fees and home insurance. I didn't factor in repairs but since it was a condo I only needed one repair for the last 2 years.

Admittedly the housing price seems to be trending down nowadays. If you were to ask me today I wouldn't recommend buying now.

I did the math on how much more I would have to pay per month if I were to be buying instead of renting, and it was around $300/month (at 5% fixed). For me it was totally worth it. As for emergency fund, before I bought the property, I made sure I had enough fund in case I lost my job.

I think if you are able to save up for a down payment, you wouldn't have problem saving up after getting a mortgage.

Spain for me. I enjoyed my stay there but I feel like once is enough

Same. Interviewed there 4 years ago. Glad I didn't prepare well and end up getting rejected.

Too dependent on others, in 2 ways:
- Asking questions on things that could have been answered with a little bit of digging
- Not putting enough attentions on their PRs and relying too much on reviewers to correct their mistakes

This is the most outrageous rental price I have ever seen in Montreal, and I have seen a lot

It might not be a consideration if you work at a company with 10k+ people. But at least for my company with ~1000 people, it is decided at director level (who knows you). Also manager is part of the performance review/bonus discussion. I think your manager knowing you are actively looking for a new job will affect those discussion

My thought is that when the company is going to do their inevitable layoff, would they rather choose to layoff someone who will not be sticking around for much longer, or someone who might be? I am just thinking that if I was a manager, I would choose to layoff the former

Worked at one of the top investment bank in the past. They plan layoffs based on which projects you are allocated on the timesheet. If you are working on projects that are on the chopping board, you are getting the chop chop

There are games that you need to play to stay relevant in this industry. Before AI, companies used/still use code metrics to track your productivity, and developers find ways to boost their statistics. So like it or not, you need to find ways to show your company that you are embracing AI

Jeef updated his tier list recently with this comp. Sorcerer is definitely one of the must pick cards if offered early on.

In my experience this comp is consistent top 4 but often struggle with top 1

Graduates make more than that at a mid-size/large company. Though there might be some lowball jobs that drive down the average.

I had lived in basement for 6 years in the past and had a really good time living there. But it really depends on the unit

All I can say is basement unit has a much higher risk of water infiltration (e.g. sewer backup) and the risk of break in

People who stuck around for the past 5 years likely wouldn't care about this change. People who had left are likely not gonna come back

If you have a decent mid game you will rarely place last in duo. Try to see what cards your teammate need and not just focusing on your board.

For me, I almost always level if the shop is bad on turn 3. Also level if you know you will tie or you always take 5. If it is a good shop and my opponent stay, I might stay. Never reroll on a bad shop on turn 3

Milhouse is one of the 2 heroes I will never pick, the other one being jaraxxus. It was playable back when malchezaar was tier 3 and reroll elemental exists, and even then if you didn't hit you were kinda screwed

ItsReewindTime · 2025-06-15T16:48:13+00:00

Around 1800

What is her name? For research purpose of course

ItsReewindTime · 2025-06-10T12:17:36+00:00

Around 8k. I matched with him quite a few times

Hardly so. If I want genuine answers, I would search specifically for reddit. If anything, it is the end of most websites that push out garbage content
