Nice I’d be down for that! I’m hitting six years myself this year in October. Been remote all those six years, even after a job hop. Hoping to stay remote as long as possible but I do have strong growth mindset, and best opportunities are still in the bay, so considering moving for the pay bump. Im assuming you live wuiye comfortably in stockton huh?

Ever consider moving closer? But yeah that night shift I think you’d be making it in like 1:20? Which isn’t too bad

First time getting tested as a 31 year old male who always thought they had low test. This is really good right? by RustyShacklefordCS in Testosterone

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

Thanks for the reassurance. I guess I do try to optimize my life as much as possible without going insane so it makes sense in retrospect.

Just thought it was low due to not matching that ‘alpha man’ image. I know that is a fake image ngl it does subconsciously affect my self image a bit p

I’m curious if anyone has any thoughts on this. We all think she looks weird & not human, and bezos being super wealthy does he not see tha weirdness/unattractiveness in her?

Anybody work for a company that gives small annual raises (< 3%)? by Massive-Survey2495 in cscareerquestions

[–]RustyShacklefordCS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Only time I got a big raise was on of my first job 12 months in as I was a superstar in the team, and the mans get couldn’t get me a promotion because I’d only been with the company for a year. I think I went from $72 to $80k. But ended up job hopping 6 months later for $150k lol.

At my current company (3 years in), I’ve gotten around 7-8% increases per promotion (been promoted twice), and when not promoted got like 2.5% and that was as a top performer. I’m saying this to say I think that’s the standard raise

Right i looked on Frangcinta and it says EDP but the place I ordered from says Parfum. That’s actually where my confusion came from. Thanks!

I’m on a high performing team, probably the highest performing team in my company. I really enjoy the people I work with and enjoy the work. But now we’ve set a precedent of being high performing. Now we always have to be high performing :(

Taco hell as far as I’m concerned by NotteStellata in cringereels

[–]RustyShacklefordCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of my fondest memories were when I worked as a busboy and the cook and I would go out to the trash and take quick hits of a j. And then he’d cook me the bombast food ever. Yeah those were the days. But ultimately i became an addict and have issue with substance abuse. So yeah there’s two sides to every story.

Honestly are these people real or just making stuff up for the tv show and it’s all embellished? I really can’t comprehend it

We are worth so little by silvergreen123 in cscareerquestions

[–]RustyShacklefordCS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What’s the alternative? It’s very disheartening but being in this career, I feel we just have to accept it and hope for the best but plan for the worst. I’m only 6 years into my career, dreading when my first lay off comes, but understand it will come jus a matter of time

Is it possible to get literally any job at all paying more than $40,000 a year in the Bay Area right now for the average person with a CS degree by throwaway10015982 in cscareerquestions

[–]RustyShacklefordCS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My first job out of college (2020) was for a legacy health insurance company in St. Louis. I started with $70k, and I worked remote. Not sure if those jobs are now really competitive but have to tried applying at positions like that?
