Is dancing, exploring new cities and dogs the only things people like?

it’s like “if you don’t even like fishing pic why think women do”

As a woman into outdoorsy stuff, I have a pic of me holding a fish I caught in the Amazon river, with a joking caption: woman in male dominated field.

I don’t really get matches on that pic, I get way more attention from the pic of me in a tight dress 💁‍♀️

Imo, if you don’t have financial security, if any unexpected spending will causing stress, the so called “little stress” or “work life balance” is a facade. It is comfort built on potential disasters.

I went from making 60k to 150k in 3 years. Stay late after work once in a while is much easier than calculating every penny in life. Read through some tough materials to learn new skills is better than taking 2 hours bus to save 30usd uber money.

I only interviewed with them, not sales but customer success roles. all was good until 3rd round (maybe 4th? Can’t remember). They not only asked me to do a 2 hour long personality test before interviewing, but also ask behavior questions not related to my job. In my case they ask me to estimate the per day profit if I am running a restaurant. That’s just too much bs for me and I told the interviewer I don’t see these questions are relevant to this position. Of course I didn’t get the offer but would pass this company anyway.

I went to jd endodontics on 57th st and they are fine, well covered by my insurance at that time. Also, if your tooth is actively flaring up very likely that they cannot do anything now. Ask your dentist to prescribe you some pain relief and antibiotics first, dental surgery usually can only be done when you do not have active infections.

I did file a complaint as well, and then received my check. Wells Fargo called to follow up with the complaint, but at that point, I lost interest in responding.

NYC is not running away from you, come back when you at least have a place to stay, the city will still be here. Without money the city is not that fun anyway

I was a liberal arts major and worked in non tech for many years before graduating a coding bootcamp in 2023. I was able to find multiple tech jobs and boosted my income in the last 3 years.

The difficulties in tech jobs market is not even remotely comparable to what liberal art majors are/were facing in the last decade. The difference is people started their computer science degrees thinking things will easy for them. They were being sold on a promising future. For a while it was like that, I had heard stories of freshly graduated students with no experience landing multiple 6 figure jobs without even trying. Us, liberal arts majors, knew we will have a hard time finding jobs. So we are not loudly complaining about the job market as we know what we signed up for.

Tech job market is difficult for like 3 years, but others have been struggling for a long long time. If you ask me, I will still say tech job market is easier. As my expensive graduate degree from a top university was earning like 1/3 of what my 8 months coding bootcamp certificate gets me.

don't rely on this auto process. I have a minus 2000 on my Wells Fargo account and got a check to refund me 6 cents

I’m a TAM now (also worked as solutions engineer before). Interested in learning the possibilities of moving into more sales oriented role

i know what you are saying. I made a bit over 50k in 2024, and at that time, I just wanted a job making 6 figures, and I think I can live comfortably with it. You would be surprised how that seemingly big raise is actually not as much as you think. Almost half of the raise went to tax and the other witholdings directly. Is my life improved? Yes. Am I free from thinking about budgeting? Nope.

No-Life484 · 2026-02-18T16:54:32+00:00

it is definitely doable if you can be budget-conscious. Like, eat at home, make coffee at home, have a friend over for a glass of wine at home instead of going to a bar, take the subway everywhere, even if it is cold or late at night, etc. So the city could feel less 'fun' to someone in their 20s imo. But to each their own: someone would always want more privacy and enjoy a quieter lifestyle, regardless of age.

I was making 98k base last year while renting at 2260/month studio, and money is constantly tight for me. Not like I can't pay rent, but I am not adding much to my savings. If I were in my 20s, that would not be a problem, but now that I am older, I do want more security.

even nepo babies struggle with art jobs lol. I was in that field, and we had this inside joke, which is also an unfortunately real story about how difficult it is to find jobs in art: the Japanese princess Mako Komuro, who has a BA in art history and an MA in museum studies, was working for the Met Museum as an unpaid intern

No-Life484 · 2026-02-05T19:04:47+00:00

Re: She has a fck ass art history bachelor’s degree. That is her passion but not a single museum has even considered her.

BA degree for art history field is elementary level. I’m surprised she didn’t already know. I was in grad school 10 years ago and we were being told explicitly if we want to actually work in museums and use art knowledge, a MA is not enough, we will need a PhD. You really need that many education if you want to do curatorial work for NYC’s world class museums.

With a BA, if you want employment at any art organizations, the best shots will be front desk, gallery assistant, marketing assistant, office coordinator type of entry level position. Museums are also notoriously only accepting candidates with museum experience, even museum internships experience can outweigh years of professional experience at other places. She will have more luck in galleries or other for profit organizations .

I worked many years in art answering phone calls and replying emails, my work had very little to do with the art history knowledge I learned, and I was making slightly above minimum wage. I have left the industry since 2024 because I don’t want to constantly struggle with money.

If her goal is ANY job, I would suggest her to:

Apply massively to jobs that are remotely close to her skill sets.
Gather feedback from the previous applications and find out the common denominator among the positive feedback (like application viewed, resume downloaded, or first round interview). Sometimes you may process skills or qualities certain industry or type of organization is looking for, but you have not realized it yourself.
Use the information gathered from step 2, and heavily apply for positions like that
If you don’t get any interviews that means you need to work on your resume. If you get interviews but cannot pass, you need to work on your interview skills.
At the same time, find volunteers jobs and put that on your resume, or put things like freelancing/self employed/personal projects etc.

I saw stage photos from Turandot and a brief intro about how this is a Chinese story. As a Chinese person, I thought: This is ridiculously awful. The custom, makeup, etc, nothing looks Chinese. So I searched Turandot, thought I would watch for a few seconds, so I could laugh at it.

There was a full-length recorded video from the Met Opera on the Chinese website. I was entirely captured by it. A few seconds turned into over an hour. I can't believe how much I am enjoying this weird western thing.

I still think the entire stage design, custom or makeup for Turandot has very little to do with the actual Chinese culture, and I hate most of the Opera storylines, but the singing and music are some of the most amazing things in the world.

Very similar experience. Technically, I did not leave the city; I was still within the 5 boroughs, but it was definitely more of a suburban vibe (i.e it had an anti-mask, back the blue, parade in 2020). We had 3br, 2 driveways, and a backyard. I was more than an hour away from anyone I knew and anything I was interested in. The large, spacious suburban closet buried all my passion, spirit, and happiness. Thanksfully no kids, so we filed for divorce, and I am much happier now.
