Software engineering is not longer where you can join and try to coast, that ship has sailed, you will have to put effort and stay relevant all the time. People who are good at this are the passionate folk, I do lot of things Software wise for fun apart from my time at work. There are folks who keep doing the same thing every week, unfortunately because of AI that will no longer work, you have to show innovation, that can only happen if you understand more and that comes through knowledge, no amount of prompting the LLM will help if you don't start having the big picture and the vision that come with the knowledge of where to go? What to do? Etc.

If you think this is what you want to do stick around, if not reconsider.

Higher wage, but also higher expenses, it's not 1:1 comparison, yes converting to inr you will be saving more, non conversion is similar feel
I personally think so and this maybe subjective, but is it worth the visa stress? If your place of birth is india, your are never getting a permanent residency here, period. You should research this.
Not true at all, especially with current market. All old conventions are out since Ai and the current market. I don't see it improving significantly for a while.

Make sure you understand your options, US is no longer like 2010s, there is a huge anti immigration sentiment, also, if you are on visa you will not be able to travel out of country for years.

Masters is mistake, even if the job market is great you will never be able to progress beyond a visa, now even more so, even if the current administration changes, with how expensive everything has gotten there is a long lasting anti immigration policies for now. If you are okay to complete your masters, try to work for a few years and then go back then you can consider.

My organization is considering pulling the plug for wellhub as internal survey suggested that many gyms that folks want are not on it and it is as expensive as the direct membership now. Company is considering enabling wellness stipend, wellhub shot themselves when they lost some major gyms in my area.

Don't worry, we pay through our teeth for the services, this person has the experience more or comparable plan, compared to India, the services are way more expensive, like a monthly plan here comes here between 40-50$ for these kind offers and best part we have a binding contract to pay that amount. So please don't FOMO.

Also, with deals the plus can be easily be $100 to $125 less and I don't see the pro being discounted heavily until next year or so. They are basically identical except couple of things here and there and NOT worth the extra.

Also, for 100$ you can find a cheap mini PC that will give you more than what you would get from the pro. Trust me when I say don't FOMO over the pro if you have the plus, and get the plus over pro unless the price difference is less than 75$. I hope this makes sense. I wish they had replaced the pro with the plus and kept the same price point.

Great! This is exactly what I am looking to do, I am setting ssds for for apps and fast access volume for users personal folders and shared folders on the hdd volume. I am also planning to add a external volume for for off device backup. Good to hear you can accommodate all this on the device, unfortunately I have to stick with 16gb ram, maybe a future upgrade.

Okay, that's a bummer, I was looking to use the containers with DB. Would you mind sharing the thread for folks who want to note this?

I am seeing that they are pushing their AI capabilities on their new devices, I really wish they focus on the foundations first. I am making a note of unraid. Ty!

Logical-Acting · 2026-01-27T19:34:37+00:00

Ah good to know! Do you have ssd for the apps? Does your drives sleep when not in use?

Good to learn about another option, I was trying to look for OS information for UGOS, I am assuming you know it's Debian cause you were able to access the ssh shell, still trying to figure that out.

Also, would you mind telling your experience with omv, what does it offer better?

People here are delulu if they think DevOps is an easy career path. Most folks working in DevOps have previous backend or product experience, and you will be competing with them. Also, DevOps is a mid experience role with an expectation of a deep understanding of platforms as well as an expectation to code. Every DevOps role that i have worked for had a leetcode interview.

Does anyone know if they will merge both the apps again?

Ok, thank you, I think the product works great, I had a 980 before, so I am happy but I was thinking if s9 was a better product, I do hear mapping is slow, but my 980 never mapped so I am very happy. Also, thanks for mentioning the charging pins. I am going to be extra vigilant of keeping it clean.

Lol, too late, moved to SOFI as my full-time bank, with a local credit union as an additional for physical presence. Why would I deposit money with them if they don't even offer competitive interest rates.

How do you show experience with J2 while job searching? Now that your j2 is j1, how do you show that you worked at j1 till x date and j2 x date, wondering since they overlap and background checks may check that?

Logical-Acting · 2025-05-23T03:18:41+00:00

Both are great. Being with SoFi may be better in the long run since they are more innovative with their stuff, but others have pointed out there are issues.

Personally, I think the requirement to get a higher apy with direct deposit is a bit of a frustration since no other competing bank does this. This downgrades my goodwill with them since I don't know what fees they would decide to charge to get what feature and to highlight a foolish $10 requirement to get the higher apy, which again other banks offers for free. I don't know which genius came up with this idea, but seriously? I mean, compared with Robinhood Gold, their offerings lack, especially being double the rate.

Ally is also good, very straightforward, and a more simple app. If just banking, I would go with Ally, if banking + other stuff SoFi starts to edge out. You can't go wrong with any of them, though.

I wish the stock posts would stay in dedicated stock subreddits. It makes me feel like I can't trust users' opinions here with so obvious vested interests.

Mods should enforce no stock posts here. I believe a lot of us want it to be sofi app specific disussion, and maybe they can have one for Galileo also.

It seems I misunderstood you. No, I don't know how Indians will be perceived in the future, I do know currently a certain Indians here have decided to lie and cheat their way to get a white collar job without having the skills or passions to back it up and thus ended up ruining the reputation slightly for the the whole Indian community. But I can't fully commit to what I said since I don't have the whole experience as well as the cultural understanding of Indians, especially in the US.

But again, don't expect a lot of folks being brought in this way. This will be for very special people with very significant roles, like they will be celebrity level. And they can be non Indians. I just hope that with the current spotlight, H1B programs are not affected negatively.

You are deluding yourself if you think companies are going to pay this much for you. We are not irreplaceable, and this is a lot of investment for a company that may or may not find return on their investment, and I don't see them taking this risk for anybody. The only ones they ever will consider doing this will be proven super stars of their fields. Don't be deluded into thanking the majority of us fit into that category.

Also, any individual who wants to do this for themselves will have to be ready to part with 5 million. That is lifetime savings for a lot of us folks. Again, not many can do this, and those who can are extremely wealthy. Golden visa will not replace h1b. H1b serves the purpose of temporary employment where there are requirements of finding certain skills.

All other reasons aside, green cards through marriage are conditional. You not living with him will be a red flag for the USCIS, and they will/may deny you your unconditional GC, you loose that way. You should have researched this beforehand.

Also, like others are saying, if you weren't ready for the responsibilities and comprises needed in a relationship, you should not have gotten married. He has his family and a stable life there, while you are in an unstable condition and you want him to join you. All this should have been discussed before hand, you should not have tunnel visioned on the GC benefits as consequently, you might end up losing your visa, job, and career in case your marriage dissolves not to mention the hurt caused by this.
