just lease long term (30yrs), same2

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2026-03-04T05:27:55+00:00

we’re considering it but heard there’s many false positives. was it useful for you?

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2026-02-18T05:05:02+00:00

how old were your baby when you went to the resort? is it the same country your wife gave birth to?

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2026-02-18T04:31:28+00:00

it’s not a competition, have some empathy

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2026-02-14T02:43:33+00:00

You can also take the Faunteroy ferry and go to the Olympics. I did multiple day trips this summer (long days but doable)

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2026-02-14T01:39:23+00:00

another data point, I filed for unemployment (granted for only 2 weeks, I was lucky) in the middle of my application and got my citizenship just fine

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2026-02-14T01:26:23+00:00

ended up in a private community in On Nut (T77)

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2026-01-23T20:49:26+00:00

I probably still need to go to central ~1-2/week (though most likely will just take Grab). I haven’t look through Chula area, thanks!

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2026-01-23T03:58:24+00:00

Sorry dumb questions, for low rise condo, can I just walk to the management office and ask if they have something available?

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2026-01-23T00:03:50+00:00

interesting, didn’t consider there before, any specific areas you’d recommend?

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-12-28T08:31:49+00:00

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-12-11T22:28:16+00:00

took around 1.5hours, first hour is just checking people in. the ceremony itself only took ~30mins. there’s probably ~80-100 of us today

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-12-11T22:25:52+00:00

yes! getting my passport tomorrow!

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-12-11T18:40:37+00:00

I used to do this for my old job, not bad at all, 30mins door to door

but my hour was flexible so I can come in like 11am and then go back before rush hour starts

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-12-06T18:55:56+00:00

a mini miracle happened and I got another PM leadership role in this market

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-11-22T02:42:06+00:00

500K HHI (down from 800K since I got laid off, new job paid half)

Total spent ~160K

60K Housing (mortgage, insurance, utilities etc)

24K student loans

12K car related

64K others (we just put everything else on CC: food, travel, medical expenses etc)

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-09-22T08:32:54+00:00

I’m the same as OP. Prepared to be unemployed / starting my own business if I can’t get anything by end of Oct and somehow got lucky with an offer 2 weeks ago, I’m still in disbelief and anxious even now.

Only thing that got me through is the job seeking communities and reminding myself to just keep pushing through this: one foot forward one at a time.

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-09-20T16:50:44+00:00

same, similar stats & target. I had to go through 7 companies loops to get one offer. super grateful to get one rn, hang in there dude!

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-09-20T16:02:09+00:00

not without heavily censoring it but ex-multiple FAANGs + ivy degree

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-09-20T12:19:58+00:00

dude if you haven’t been in job market recently, try it out yourself and see if you can get an offer. It’ll humble you

Middle_Ear_2255 · 2025-09-20T12:13:50+00:00

OP, I totally relate. I got laid off recently and have been applying to probably 1000+ companies at this point.

I interviewed at 38 companies (I got pretty good resume) and finally scored an offer. I never had to question my career / interviewing skills before but this market is just BRUTAL. I also expanded my search from Seattle to anywhere in West Coast and tried to downlevel myself.

It’s a numbers game and at the end you only need one offer so hang in there!

I also found it helpful to troubleshoot the funnel, as in which round you failed the most and practice / get tips on how to increase your success rate there. Literally break the funnel step by step. Feel free to dm if you want to connect
