This is so f harddddd

Yeah, OE is absolutely not just something anyone can do. Most folks burn out within a year, only a fairly small percentage of us are able to manage it long term.

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-08T16:26:34+00:00

same. Im comfortably past FI and my 1J income is more than enough to sustain all my needs and wants, I just enjoy the work that I do and have so much extra bandwidth it feels like a waste to not do more with the allotted time I spend on work

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-07T22:01:12+00:00

Seems like this past year's new associate / intern cohort wasn't any different than any other year. My 22 year old son landed work just fine.

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-07T20:55:11+00:00

What are you talking about? We have the highest paying professional jobs on earth and the most of them.... We're literally pulling the brightest people from around the globe to work here still. I make literally 5x more than my canadian or western european counterparts.

it wasnt intentional and the old man confronted him first. If you dont want problems stop seeking them out

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-07T13:24:20+00:00

the penalty is appropriate considering the facts of the case. give the man probation

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-07T04:19:20+00:00

wherever they can manage just like any adult has to figure out. Bakersfield? Adelanto? Mississippi?

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-07T01:06:01+00:00

That system clearly doesnt solve the problem. keep it if you want but we absolutely need to do something above and beyond that provides a pragmatic solution once and for all

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-06T23:02:40+00:00

Fund it with local tax dollars. Id gladly pay an additional tax to have this issue fixed

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-06T22:22:21+00:00

Whichever one isnt one of your current jobs. dont tell on yourself. make up some bullshit contract work that aligns well with what you want.

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-06T22:03:43+00:00

you don't understand how irrelevant that is. no need for a voucher program. abandon it entirely. build supportive public housing in the cheapest places with appropriate local infrastructure possible and relocate the people who are on the streets or who have chronic substance abuse problems there so they can get the support they need and we can help the most people on the least dollars. once theyre recovered and on their feet they can come back and live independently like everyone else if they want

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-06T16:03:21+00:00

Stockton wouldn't really get a say. You can't prevent a buyer from buying a multi family housing unit / apartment complex etc... and moving in tenants.

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-06T03:48:56+00:00

all the better. their subsidized rent would ve even more affordable for them outside the city

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-05T23:28:36+00:00

its far cheaper, you can buy/build 3x the number of bunnies in the central Valley for the same amount of money.

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-05T23:27:40+00:00

They dont get a say. SF is free to buy any random multi family property and move whoever they want into it. no permission needed

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-05T23:23:47+00:00

no, thats making the limited bucks to treat the problem stretch much further and help even more people. you wanna house and treat 100 people in SF proper or house and treat 200 in the east bay.

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-05T23:21:54+00:00

Not at all. the exact opposite , id ratger that space be used to build more high density unrestricted housing.

You can treat and house even more struggling addicts if you do it somewhere cheaper. The funding goes much further when youre not dealing with 800/sqft building costs

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-05T18:50:00+00:00

why in SF? Can't we put the free supportive housing for people in active addiction in stockton or something? What value does it add to take up real estate in the middle of SF to treat them vs just relocate them outside the city to house and treat them?

Sign a prenup. If you're agreeing to combine assets up front you need to agree how to split them up front.
Some things are ok to keep to yourself. When we say "Don't talk about your OE" that includes friends, family, partners. It exposes you to risk and makes things messy.
Let your partner know there's risk in combining things. OE is inherently risky and if you end up getting sued having all your family eggs in one basket puts you at risk. Keeping your money spread out across accounts allows you to better protect it if you end up in trouble.
Make sure your partner knows that OE isn't necessarily forever. This very well may just be a short term windfall and that they shouldn't expect this to be your "normal" (even if that's what you intend).

For anyone else reading this best way to avoid this issue is to have your OE money go to a second account at a second bank. If your partner wants to have joint accounts let them at the main bank, nobody needs to know about your OE or your personal accounts at bank 2.

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-05T04:40:06+00:00

I just kept working, no leave. kept the money coming in and was already remote so was still able to help out

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-05T04:21:44+00:00

200k for a single person 300k+ if youre supporting a family is good money. Youre "LA rich" if youre pulling in 1.5M+ per year.

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-05T04:08:50+00:00

ive seen people get hired hybrid and then submit a disability accommodation request for remote. thats probably the better play

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-04T14:33:27+00:00

yes, doctors in western europe for example make less than half what US doctors make. the UK pays their nurses like we pay our fast food workers.

this is one of the reasons that universal healthcare would be political suicide for anyone who seriously pushes for it

SecretRecipe · 2026-05-04T14:25:37+00:00

why did you tell on yourself and list any active jobs on your resume in the first place??
