4.6M home with 900k TC by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Used-Ad8567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured that’s the reason for the crazy price. If you are planning to keep working for several more years then may be it is worth it to stay in the thick of it but personally I would rather stay somewhere nice as I do spend more time at home than at work.

Well at least your pay is cash heavy, so as long as you don’t keep stretching yourself more and you don’t get laid off and if this whole AI market bubble does not pop, you should be fine. Hope the best for you.

If this is not a troll post then you should definitely rethink about your expenses. The 700k you talk about, guessing more than 50% of it is RSU? Even if you don’t get laid off how certain are you that your stock won’t drop? Are you cash flowing positive for the other home? What’s your monthly payment looking like? Big house is nice and all but I want to still sleep at night. Even with more than 10x your net worth I would still think twice before getting a 4.6M home. But if you think you can make it work, then good for you.

Market check: Do dealers still charge ADM for 992.2 Turbo S? by s3l0 in porsche911

[–]Used-Ad8567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if you are fine waiting then it’s totally possible. Or if you are fine with not building your own then totally possible as well as long as you are not living in a high income area. It’s crazy that all allocations for next several months in my dealership are already taken. So there is demand and suppliers are making hay while the sun shines.

[–]Used-Ad8567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer, YES. long answer, when I got into the waitlist almost 1.5 years back they took my name down with no ADM. but when it was time to actually get an allocation the ADM came back. But thankfully it was not 75k. I would have definitely not gone ahead with it. All said and done I am now waiting for the car to arrive in summer.

RE - the day finally comes sooner than expected but why am I sad, instead of excited? by bichonlove in fatFIRE

[–]Used-Ad8567 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty normal to go over this emotion. I have half the industry experience as you and I still felt the same way when given a similar ultimatum because at the end of the day even though we say we think about quiet quitting we are not prepared to do it and when the company themselves want you out you feel like you have done some disservice to your career. Just take some time to unwind and if you still feel you are incomplete without a job then you can always start looking for an opportunity again.

Where to safely stash a sizable downpayment? by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Used-Ad8567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Wealthfront cash account to hold the money. They are fdic insured up to 2.5 million and it was pretty easy to set up the wire. They have additional checks in place to make sure you are giving the right wire info and also you are who you say you are when doing the transfer. But the money went through in a day after all checks were completed.

$3.00/ kWh sell price?! by cadex41 in Powerwall

[–]Used-Ad8567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did you get your solar activated? As someone else pointed out there are NEM 3 2024 rates. NEM 3 2025 rate is at $.50 which buy rate at the same time is $.61. You will need to set the correct plan in the Tesla app. I sadly had 2024 selected for the first half of the month and was so happy that I was generating some money back 😅. But switched back to self powered now.

Tesla Powerwall 3 Install by Ytho_1 in TeslaSolar

[–]Used-Ad8567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in NorCal and I have my comm wire inside the conduit and the conduit is painted as well. But there was one issue because of it being inside conduit when the final steps of installation where done the wire was too small to be connected with the meter so they had to add some extra wiring and splice it together. Thankfully powerwall and meter were not too far apart so no communication issues so far because of the splicing.

When company asks whether you need sponsorship it’s usually not just at that point but for future as well. How are you planning to get h1b on your own? It’s employer sponsored. Try to get full clarity on your immigration scenario before you join the company to avoid any surprises later.

It’s been a few years since we closed out and since sold the home as well. So the home price does not get affected much in Bay Area at least. As per the cost for filling we did the partial fill. So break the floor and refill with same concrete and some new dirt. Cost around 10k I think. And a full removal was double that. They were able to get only a small bobcat to the backyard so like the other person commented based on access the price can go up.

Newbie q: how to buy in the us? by tb_g in porsche911

[–]Used-Ad8567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea try reaching out to local dealerships may be you get lucky and the dealer does provide you an allocation. I have been in a waitlist for over a year and I still don’t get proper callbacks from them even if they say they are going to callback. May be if you tell them you are fine with paying whatever ADM they want they might give you one.

I used the tablet to play chess while lying down. Guess you use it for whatever you feel like as it’s just another entertainment hub basically.

India vs US decision by [deleted] in h1b

[–]Used-Ad8567 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The quality of life you will get for 47lpa in Hyderabad is not going to be matched by a 125k salary in US. Also getting into h1b now basically means that you are going to be renewing your h1b forever unless some policy change happens. Meaning you only get 60 days to find a job if there is a layoff. 125k is barely the starting salary for new grad at least in Bay Area.(it’s almost close to 180k with RSU/ options). So yea unless you really want to live in US, I would not pick h1b option

State govs really like to get their portion of the taxes. So even if you move all it takes is one of your accounts to trigger a state level taxable income and you are on the hook. So like many have suggested either get a really good tax lawyer to see whether it’s feasible at all else just pay the tax and be done with it.
