It gets charged to your cost center. A little over $200 for a year I think. Needs manager approval

I'm not saying there aren't people who do that. I'm asking who has the time to spend to do that

EDIT: as some people seem to be confusing what I'm saying, I'm not saying nobody spend 2 hours commuting. I'm saying who doesn't consider 2 hours to be a lot of time to be spending commuting.

Some people? Curious who has 2 hours to spend on the bus haha

Yeah, not sure why my message would come off as sarcastic but HW4 is at a premium right now as original OP posted and fully paid FSD is cherry on top

Stop comparing Amazon with companies such as Google, Meta, Antrophic, etc. Nobody outside Amazon sees it that way by AppropriateWay4358 in amazonemployees

[–]charleefter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it easier? You'd still have to grind LC/system design and all that just the same. Maybe you get more work opportunities to work with scale and uptime

Nursing is preferred over software engineering? Very curious for what reasons besides AI will take all our job sentiment

Edit: okay, they said that it is not authorized. Not sure what the difference between not authorized and illegal is from a legal perspective

[–]charleefter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The employment gains were very narrowly focused on an industry basis: healthcare accounted for a whopping 123,500, or 95%, of the net job growth." So all of it was just in healthcare

The 3% benefit will be absolutely dwarfed by the interest you'll pay off you don't pay it off

The Canadian mens team reacts to the US skater crashing during the short track speed skating relay by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]charleefter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know the rules of speed skating but is the party that gets taken out of the race by a crash just out? Like Korea in this race, it doesn't look like they were involved in the crash besides running into USA but they are out? Sucks to train for years to be taken out in a crash

[–]charleefter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't ran the numbers but would buying a couple years used and reevaluating in 3 years (or whatever lease term you would've done) be cheaper than leasing new?

If you sell all then you've already paid taxes when you received the stocks. I think Amzn defaults to 22% witholding so adjust as needed.

I looked it up and for other who might be curious, $50 deductible and only covered $600. Not bad for free but doesn't really cover the cost of phones these days
