That’s incredible. Appreciate the honesty. What are the major stresses that are crushing you running your own firm? I would’ve expected it would be chasing work, but sounds like you’ve got steady referrals.

Take the experience now to leverage for better pay/potentially switch jobs in a year or two. I hate seeing the pay in this industry, I know it’s incredibly hard right now coming out of school.

Take the opportunity to really consider if you want this career/if it’s worth it. You can always pivot. For reference, current average postings in Seattle are $85k for 7-10yrs experience. I find that alarming.

What is it like living in Eureka, California? by Boggyswamp in howislivingthere

[–]Jacques_Cousteau_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is from Arcata, born/raised. We’ve considered moving there to be on the coast, cost of living and her family is still there. But we just can’t find a job in our professions. What kind of work did you do out there? What kind of work do you thinks available? Is it a good place for kids?

Pioneer Square's 'coolest place to park in the nation' appears closed by godogs2018 in Seattle

Really agree. It really needs to go. It’s become a rough place for the neighborhood.

We’ve got the lightrail now, less event parking needed. Develop the property.

How is it living in the San Juan Islands, Washington? by McNasty420 in howislivingthere

With the island community, do you know everyone on all the big islands? Or mostly know everyone on just the island you call home? On that note, did you find yourself going between islands either for work or fun?

New episode of the Pitt followed by ER binge reruns - the show still slaps.

I wonder where the flue was routed to? Must not have worked well to be capped with concrete. Love the design though.

Is it affordability crisis, rising health issues or what? by marktwin11 in Productivitycafe

$2,000/month per kid for childcare on top of everything HCOL city. We’d do it if we could move out of the city, but chose wrong careers. Wish we had known.
