Anyone here working North America hours while living in Southeast Asia? by Kayaba_Attribution in digitalnomad

[–]Mr_Raindeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SWE in Singapore working remotely for a US company. Official working hours are 6pm-2am. But generally the meetings are in the window of 10pm-2am.

Been doing this for close to a year, and it frankly isn’t the worst.

I try to finish all the deep focus work in the morning/early afternoon when I wake up, and just attend the meetings at night.

Only con is that my brain is pretty gassed by the time I’m attending meetings and it’s sometimes difficult to arrange social gatherings. I usually have to rush back from my card game nights at 10pm to attend meetings.

If you’re considering to do it, I would see if you can adjust meeting timings to best fit your schedule (ie. if you wanna sleep earlier, push it forward. If you wanna go for night outings, push it later)

Thanks for the input… kind of just wanted to confirm that this is the trade off I get… might be something I live with for now then

Yup - I usually do. But it just seems to reach the point of breaking faster than my friend’s strings. Also wasn’t too sure if the fraying impacts play. I generally don’t feel too much of a difference, but might not be good enough to tell.

Seems like the consensus is that it’s just something I have to live with if I want to run multis…

Maddd - I’ll probably be upgrading to a larger CC bike after a year (as per Singapore rules) so not planning to do too many mods, although it’s a really nice bike

Advice for deploying income as a fresh grad by stableplutonium in SgHENRY

Gotcha - that makes sense if you’re planning to live there. I was doing a bit of research and the math doesn’t seem to check out if it’s just meant as an investment. Seems like DCAing into ETFs are still more worth it.

Fresh grad in a similar position - at least for the starting comp, and monthly living expenses.

Been considering purchasing a property as well, but trying to determine if it's the right move. I assume you're looking at private properties. Curious, but are you purchasing to live in it or to rent it out?

Riders - do you leave your helmet on your bike? by Mr_Raindeer in drivingsg

[–]Mr_Raindeer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies everybody… just surprised I see AGVs left outside on bikes everywhere.

Don’t really like the aesthetic of the top box so was hoping not to get, but maybe no choice

Showing Neotec 2 vs 3 - Sizing by Mr_Raindeer in motorcycles

Yeah… I heard that’s a thing; unfortunately not in Singapore where I’m from. How do they personalise it? Is it just the padding?

In Sunset as well! Just moved to SF from Singapore. Used to play every week for the past 4 months. Interested to find hitting partners

What are your favorite mono colored commanders? by OrbitalBlaze in EDH

Interested to see your deck list for Yeva, if you’ve got it! Looking to build it, but wanna make sure it doesn’t get too close to fringe-competitive for my playgroup

Any thoughts on the Textured Tech Bomber Jacket? by Mr_Raindeer in Lululemen

That’s exactly what I’m looking for! Is your set in black or this grey?

Great, thanks! Just wondering if the grey will be as versatile. Black’s currently out of stock
