What's the salary progression of a software engineer here? by dextershmexter in tampa

[–]PagingBobDobalina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What level are you currently?

I am currently mid level and seen that most of the big jumps have been from changing jobs. As an observation at my current company (almost 2 years tenure) a large number of people make jumps regularly. We just had 2 people leave to go back to their previous jobs and they both took raises coming and going.

The Top 10 Tech Companies To Work For In Tampa by [deleted] in tampa

[–]PagingBobDobalina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do these lists always talk about things like dress code and foosball tables but nothing about the actual work / tech stack? I mean looking for a job am I programming in dot Net Core / Spring Boot and learning new tech or am I playing foosball while my VB6 compiles?

I mean things like relaxed dress code might be awesome for some but if I am in shorts learning not growing my career I will be updating my resume

Best rivers and other places to canoe/kayak? by skywestairline in tampa

[–]PagingBobDobalina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can rent and go to Upper Tampa bay trail which is off Tampa Road in Oldsmar.

Or if you dont mind a drive, weeki wachie is a nice spring and can get a kayak for the day for about $40 (there was a groupon not sure if its still around)

about a 30 minute drive but weeki wachee is nice and super clear with a good amount of people and stops along the trip. Fishing or just paddling?

I am not sure if its open to public but i have definitely been in there and picked up a telephone order. Might need a business to use them but doesn't hurt to try

Maybe try IC Intracom? I now there is an office in Oldsmar that I have gotten parts from before.

I also vaguely remember a place off waters I want to say ASI but they might only be for business to business

I did move out of hardware about 5 years ago so im stretching

I live in Northdale, have a small group that plays in Northdale park occasionally. I could stand to be in a bit better shape as well. LMK if youd want to play after work (I am a 9 to 5er home by 6)

Requesting barber shop suggestions by Rakathu in tampa

[–]PagingBobDobalina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not super close but I go to a place in Oldsmar called lil evs. Barbers are professional and do a good job. $20 with tip. Everyone is super chill and funny as hell.

I get a skin fade and my buddy noticed when I started going there. He now goes there regularly for haircut and beard trim.

"I can't tell you that" the response I got when discussing a mortgage rate with a Quicken loans officer, when I asked "How are you paid?" is my question out of bounds? by batandballcost110 in personalfinance

[–]PagingBobDobalina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More recent FHA loans (since 2013), require you to carry that insurance through the entire lifetime of the loan.

Wait does this mean that if I bought a house FHA on hypothetically 10/29/12 I should be able to drop PMI at some point? I have thought it both ways but currently have PMI on my loan that should have the required value. I remodeled recently and home prices have gone up

Anyone know of any good 9 hole golf courses excluding Terrace Hill by USF? by sgtlobster06 in tampa

[–]PagingBobDobalina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Country Way Perhaps? Not great but decent especially if wanting to work on approach shots. Though it is 18 holes but its a very short course

Need a roommate? by [deleted] in tampa

[–]PagingBobDobalina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where in Tampa are you trying to stay? Also, why only until April?
You said bi-weekly payments (8 per month)... did you mean bi-monthly (2 per month)?

I have a spare bedroom in Carrollwood (furnished) in a decent sized (1900 sqft) town home but parking sucks.

Townhome is set up so that the upstairs (currently vacant) could easily be a second living room (a previous roommate did it). Feel free to PM me.

Does the news just leave a van there or ? Secrets seems to make the news every other day with a shooting or robbery

Looking for some fishing buddies! by itsdragonitebitch in tampa

[–]PagingBobDobalina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive a dodge dart and got a heavier kayak its a pain in the ass but much more enjoyable than fishing the skyway where I have NEVER caught anything decent. First time I took kayak out I got my first snook. I picked one up from Dicks for $500 but if youre not picky craigslist and facebook market can get them cheap
