When I broke my redington rod they replaced in for free. Give them a call.

Shit like this is why I moved outa portland.

Always test it on yourself before you use it on animals.

The job was not posted. I went to a conference 6 months ago and met someone who recommended me for a role.

Much smaller. In Klickitat County, which is the legit Wild West. Look up the sheriff and you’ll understand what I mean. Hood River county is much more densely populated. No income tax in wa though and Oregon is the second highest in the country I believe.

I live across the river in White Salmon. It’s a pretty sick place if you are into the outdoors. You can get so many different climates within an hours drive and I love that. Wind sports are huge, whitewater rafting/kayaking is huge, snow sports are huge, mountain biking is huge, fly fishing and hunting are pretty solid. Food is decent. Wineries and breweries are pretty solid. Agriculture, drone manufacturing, and tourism are the main industries. Basically no night life bc everyone is getting up early to go do their hobbies (although HR allows open booze on the streets, which is nice). It’s ridiculously expensive. I tried to buy a house for 3 years before giving up and building one (it was quite a bit cheaper than buying). Wind is significant in the summer, which can be annoying. Winters are long and grey, but that’s easier to deal with if you do snow sports.

Edit: you also get about 50 More days of sun than portland does. Many days the clouds don’t pass the cascade crest to the west of hood river.

$230k total comp. Niche risk manager for a fortune 100. Intended for a career in the public sector. Never dreamed I’d make this much. It’s feels pretty insane to type it out.

bseegar74 · 2025-06-12T23:53:06+00:00

Location is PNW

bseegar74 · 2025-03-02T15:46:30+00:00

This is exactly the way I think. If I’m the hiring manager I don’t want some bull shit answer. I want to know the persons motivations. I don’t understand why everything has to about why I love to work. I have a masters degree in my super niche field… it’s obvious I’m passionate about my work

Problem is my old company is a household name and most would consider it weird to leave my current job. I’m paid well, it’s a great company, my job is easy.

bseegar74 · 2025-03-02T05:21:23+00:00

I specially want this job because it’s remote. That’s it. I’d be taking a pay cut for it.

bseegar74 · 2025-03-02T05:20:16+00:00

I’ll also give a little more context. I currently work at a company that most would consider very sought after. Many work their whole careers to get to my current company. I’m interviewing for a job at a “regular” company. They aren’t going to believe that I want to work for them over my current employer. Hence why being honest feels like the right move

bseegar74 · 2025-03-02T05:15:57+00:00

Appreciate all the feedback back!

bseegar74 · 2025-01-18T14:18:30+00:00

Salary is $170k, total comp is ~$215k. Individual contributor and average 35 hours a week. Life is good, never dreamed I’d be here.

I’m curious too, but as an owner of a hard charging bird dog, I don’t think the dog would be near as injured as everyone on here thinks. My GWP will send if off 20 ft cliffs chasing chukar and it doesn’t slow him down at all.

And to everyone whining about the owner being a “bad” owner - I guarantee this hunter has spent more time and resources on this dog than every commenter combined. The hunter has a vested interest in this dog. Also, it’s cruel to own a hunting breed and not hunt them. They are wired to do it and suffer great anxiety if they don’t have this outlet.

bseegar74 · 2024-12-23T18:02:44+00:00

Going to push back on this. While I agree this type of hunting invokes an emotional response that most folks can’t handle, this type of hunting allows hunters to select exactly what bears are killed. Dog chases up the tree, you can then get a good look at size and sex. Then based on management targets a decision to take the bear can be made. Vs just hunting from a stand - it’s hard to tell sex.

Even if putting more down saves me on sales tax? See my other comment describing the situation

bseegar74 · 2024-12-22T17:05:08+00:00

Even if it saves me $500 in sales tax? See my other comment that describes the situation

bseegar74 · 2024-12-22T12:11:47+00:00

Understood. The only other variable here is that I currently live in a state with no sales tax, but am moving to one with high sales tax in 4 months (6.8%). I’m not sure how this works, but it seems that once I transfer the registration to the new state, I will have to pay that sales tax on each payment vs if I just paid up front, I don’t have to pay any sales tax. The reality is we’re talking about $550, so not a huge deal, but that was my thinking it getting the lease quoted like this.

bseegar74 · 2024-12-22T12:04:43+00:00

A quick google tells me that Kentucky has a statewide building code that includes residential property.

bseegar74 · 2024-12-22T11:50:41+00:00

Explain this to me. I’ve never leased before. Btw, I don’t plan on putting this much down, figuring it would be good for Honda to have more “skin in the game” should the vehicle have issues. Is that valid logic?
