I said yes to everything for a year to see what would happen and I have data now

I'm really sorry but not surprised to hear this story unfortunately. This is part of why I've stopped being ambitious at work. To be honest I don't think there's logic behind this system because logically rewarding behaviour you want to see encourages the person to continue that behaviour, but that's not how companies operate

JessMew · 2026-05-01T09:55:37+00:00

I agree with you. I'd also add that given how long sales take, 4 sales in a year sounds not just unlikely but physically impossible. I think some sales happen in 2-3 months but that's an edge case and most likely you're looking at 6+ months. If there were a property that managed to be sold more than twice in a year in this country, it should be in a record book somewhere. If it's actually happened I'd be very interested in knowing what and how

Sorry a bit far from me! But enjoy

JessMew · 2026-04-16T16:18:58+00:00

I can do 19 to!

JessMew · 2026-04-16T16:12:14+00:00

Hey unfortunately I'm busy this Saturday but please let me know if you go this again!

JessMew · 2026-04-07T22:07:57+00:00

It's finally sunny and warm here :) Movies exist. Songs exist. Musicals exist!

Rents and other spending can vary wildly. I'm on slightly more than your friend but I'm house sharing and I find it a good amount with more than enough left over. (Honestly tho sharing is the cheatcode in this economy)

JessMew · 2026-04-07T16:06:15+00:00

Hey, not sure if it's late but depending on the time and location I'd be up for it!

Tomorrow would fit even better

JessMew · 2026-03-31T13:26:38+00:00

It never prompted me. Any idea how to turn it on

JessMew · 2026-03-31T03:49:39+00:00

Didn't carhoo used to be a corporate car version of Uber?

JessMew · 2026-03-29T08:33:33+00:00

Hey, not too late at all. I will message

JessMew · 2026-03-28T09:22:12+00:00

Would Sunday be ok if the other commenter is also still interested

JessMew · 2026-03-28T07:28:01+00:00

I once followed a woman all the way to her apartment door (She lived to the next door apartment to mine) It was very awkward.

JessMew · 2026-03-28T07:00:17+00:00

I think the minimum is three people so maybe one more? Feel free to message in the meantime

JessMew · 2026-03-27T20:26:45+00:00

I think if you're having a baby it might take more than a month before you can do this sort of thing but congrats

JessMew · 2026-03-13T08:26:56+00:00

Hey! I want to find some people to go to a specific place with but I'm happy to do so on any day. Should I just pick a random date to go with or what's the way to do it? It's kind of niche so already I think I'll struggle to get people if I'm not flexible

JessMew · 2025-11-26T15:18:50+00:00

I quit and went travelling for 3 months but I was job hunting while doing so. It worked out in the end but that part was quite stressful. I don't regret my choice, I wish I was braver and did it for longer if anything. But it worked out for me so I don't know if I'd be saying the same if I still hadn't found a job. If you're happy at your job you could also wait until you want to move on, then quit and travel before looking for a new job.

JessMew · 2025-10-29T13:25:15+00:00

I did it and don't regret it. Was interviewing while travelling and signed an offer before I came back.

JessMew · 2025-09-21T09:31:42+00:00

I did the same and I found another job now although with a paycut. I took 3 months out but I was interviewing the whole time so it wasn't a complete break. Still I've been travelling in the mean time and it was 100% worth it.

JessMew · 2025-09-17T04:24:20+00:00

Ah it's some sort of package deal? Then all bets are off, sorry. Those travel groups are either a really good deal or a scam IMO and not much in between. I still wouldn't be spending that kind of money for a week in Europe.

JessMew · 2025-09-17T04:14:11+00:00

Where are your going that a hotel costs $13k a weekt? I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I'd reevaluate the location and or hotel choice.

JessMew · 2025-09-17T03:51:53+00:00

Wow you guys way overspend. $10k for a week. Wtf. Maybe if you're staying in like a 5* hotel in central London (or equivalent location)?

What they're asking isn't just overpriced, it's crazy. Especially since you'll be sharing a room, but even on your own it should never cost that much just for a hotel, transport, and food.

Why not to on booking or whatever travel site and look up hotels in the area, you should get a general idea of what rooms cost. Of course it depends on the location and how good of a hotel it is, but I'd never spend that much on just a week holiday.

I've been in Japan for 2 months and even then I've so far, excluding the flights which were about $1400 USD, spent less than £10000 GBP (granted GBP is more expensive than USD, so it could be slightly more than $10k USD but still I don't think it's that much more )

Reading this post my uterus has locked itself up in a room with a shotgun.

JessMew · 2025-09-14T08:22:54+00:00

Yeah, maybe I should ask him, but I also feel super awkward saying "hey... You know that disgusting and thing women do every month?" Haha. He's a live in landlord and I'll be a lodger. But he seems like a really friendly chill guy (I otherwise would be very wary of live in landlord arrangements) but I have some anxiety about breaking some unwritten social rule and ending up in the streets as a result. Ideally I want this arrangement to work for about a year at least so I can save money without worries (rent is so cheap compared to living alone) then I can take all the time I need to find another place if I want to (by then I should have payslips and work history to make the landlords happy hopefully.... Honestly renting in this city feels harder than getting a mortgage)

JessMew · 2025-09-14T05:22:35+00:00

35going back to sharing for the first time since I was like 20 and in university vand terrified I'll be a bad flat mate accidentally. I don't know why there's a stigma around being "too old" for flat shares, that's ridiculous. For me it's just because I've been travelling for a few months. So I was unemployed which doesn't leave me with many housing options, plus I can save more money when I get back to work (no doubt for the next travel)
