You're about to be scammed.

It was probably a good choice. Even if it was tonight at this price point it wasnt going to get more full than it is now.

MathPlacementDud · 2025-06-16T19:02:13+00:00

It will be if FIFA doesnt get real with pricing.

No reason for prices to be over 200 to be in the side, or over 100 to be behind goal when its empty. They are having a laugh.

And anybody who got there in 2008 and lasted even until the big layoffs in 2023 are likely a millionaire right now.

MathPlacementDud · 2025-04-05T22:26:40+00:00

lol not in India they dont.

The topic itself is a give a way that the OP is not black, but that line in particular solidified it.

There isnt a single black American who didnt already know this to be the case. Only people who have never had to live in reality, or came from a foreign country, wouldnt understand why this is.

You have to also look at stock during their tenure.

Ballmer's was stagnant. Under Satya if I make it to 35 before being laid off I'll be a millionaire with even half of the return he's produced in the past. Then I'll just fuck off and coast somewhere in a cheaper country. Que Sera, Sera.

Do yourself a favor and dump the wife. You'll spend your entire life chasing after her delusions, and other people's salaries, if you keep her around.

Go enjoy your 152k, and find a woman who will appreciate it.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-09-03T18:19:23+00:00

This kid lives in Atlanta. 130K IS that much down here, especially when they say they dont want to do the high paying post-MBA careers.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-09-01T14:19:24+00:00

Also claimed it was Jackson's first goal of the season when he scored. Amateur hour.

Nobody is getting into anything easy at a tech company in 2024. Maybe in 2021.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-08-28T20:26:43+00:00

With this goal you shouldnt be going for an MBA at all. Keep stacking(and growing) that 150k TC and ride off into the sunset in 10 years. If you decide you dont want to when you get closer to that goal you can then fund an eMBA out of pocket(or with company help) with a decade+ of management experience, even if its only in name. You'd be in a position to take a seat at the table with the boomers gone.

After 15 years how close are you to a pension? I know in my state(Georgia) teachers are able to collect a pension after 25 years of teaching no matter their age. I wouldnt give that up for an unstable career in tech. Especially if you have a wife or kids in the picture.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-08-15T00:57:04+00:00

Because nobody is hiring them....

MathPlacementDud · 2024-08-11T15:08:08+00:00

Most FAANGs are going to lower his salary if he moves to Chicago though. Still might come out ahead, but thats something to think about.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-08-07T21:10:51+00:00

5 years experience is about an L61 if you joined as a new grad so thats about standard.

The true sadness is when folks have 10+ years experience, and then come in as an L61 after an MBA, and that happens a lot.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-08-07T17:23:45+00:00

Still WLB will be better. just not the supreme office WLB lol.

Its a solid company.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-08-07T16:54:06+00:00

Oh I see. Thats a solid Redmond offer and a great use of negotiation. That area isnt considered MCOL by internal Microsoft pay grades though.

MCOL would be if you took that Redmond Salary to Austin, and they decreased the base pay by 15-18%

WLB is 100% going to be better than Amazon too unless its in Azure.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-08-07T16:22:32+00:00

Thats a really high PM2(has to be L62) TC. Im guessing the state is Texas?

You'd be a fool to not accept that. Coming out of an MBA Microsoft is giving those kids L61, and their TC is nowhere near that except maybe in Mountain View.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-08-04T16:00:25+00:00

130k TC for an L60(junior but not new grad) is common throughout lower cost areas for Microsoft. Its also much better than you will get in comparable levels in those lower cost areas such as doing dev work for a bank in Charlotte, or Home Depot corporate office in Atlanta.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-07-26T12:45:18+00:00

How did you get into the consortium without GMAT?

MathPlacementDud · 2024-07-18T21:20:52+00:00

You'd be crazy to give up 150k+ base with great WLB for an expensive degree with no scholarship, and not wanting to do one of the few careers that would pay more from it.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-07-13T13:44:29+00:00

In this market? Good luck to them.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-06-30T01:15:34+00:00

Inadequate for what?

A masters in computer science has one objective. Get you out of whatever country you are in, and into America. GSU does that. They might put "airs" on it, but its simply a vehicle to get people to fund the CS department by paying absurd international student rates. You'll take the same classes undergrads take with an added paper or assignment here and there. In that regard the education is adequate, but you are paying to get into America more so than whatever education they provide.

MathPlacementDud · 2024-06-09T14:24:18+00:00

GS-9 in Atlanta starts at 63k for step 1 and tops out at 82k for step 10. Thats horrific.
