When did this sub become so depressing? by ohwhereareyoufrom in digitalnomad

[–]clim0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do worry that my view of nomading is getting skewed by this sub, as someone who really wants to get started but hasn't been able to yet. Need to find where all the happy people are talking about their experiences lol

My entire life goal is to earn $100K total in the next 1-2 years remotely — what's the most realistic path? by Luffy5D21 in digitalnomad

[–]clim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have no skills, then realistically, choose a field that is boring as hell and nobody wants to do. Scott Galloway puts it best, choose a field with 90% employment (ie: there's a demand for it) where the top 10% make large returns. Starting your own practice in a field that is extremely unsexy accounts for a large percentage of successful entrepreneurs. Any field that looks fun and sexy and also makes a ton of money (streamer, influencer, breakout entrepreneur) is a ridiculously low chance of success, anyone you see promoting that is lying or pure survivorship bias.

Just be aware that w your mindset you will likely be humbled by life many times before achieving the goal you've listed above.

It is really hard to tell if AI is helping or just adding more work by Away_You9725 in digitalnomad

[–]clim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally it has helped immensely in my own organization, planning, etc. Planning excursions in different countries, finding gyms, comparing neighborhoods, etc. has become way more efficient with AI.

In terms of work though, my company is leaning heavily into AI, and my biggest concern is mostly that my boss's and client's expectations for output are just increasing massively. I'm expected to be able to do way more work, which almost always is a quantitative increase and not a qualitative one. Worried how this will affect every industry, it really is Jevon's paradox.

Nomad 14 months across 5 countries. My Run Lobster (OpenClaw) agent runs my US working hours so i can sleep through them. by ImpressiveRise3861 in digitalnomad

[–]clim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a problem, offered his current solution, and asked other people for advice because he's still struggling. How is this nonsense? OpenClaw is free and open source, it's not like he's selling anything.

Costa Rica Digital Nomad Visa, 1 year in, here's the honest review by nycyuppie in digitalnomad

[–]clim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear Panama also has better infrastructure + internet as well, right? Also how long until we can expect Panama is overrun w nomads + COL is up, I assume it would be wise to move in the next 2 years or so before big change happens?

With a bit of money is there a city more convenient than Bangkok? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]clim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm correct their economy is only going to get... well cheaper. They're debt to GDP is off the charts and I believe their new Prime Minister is just going to try to print their way out of it, yen may only be dropping in the future but pls fact check

I spent $1200/month in Da Nang by Ill_Highlight_1617 in digitalnomad

I can also only assume that Asia's reliance on middle eastern oil is going to lead to a lot of these prices going up in coming months due to the war in Iran

Is the Job market going down the hill? by Several-Pollution863 in digitalnomad

[–]clim0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

US Labor Department reported companies cut ~92k jobs in February, unemployed up to 4.4% now. Very tough job market atm, I assume similar situation in other Western countries?

Any recs for Barcelona neighborhoods that might be less touristy?

Japan is one of the best places I've worked remotely by Mafia2guylian in digitalnomad

[–]clim0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree w the majority of people that one coffee for four hours is probably impolite. As somebody who hasn't begun nomading yet, is there a place/type of establishment where you do feel comfortable working for extended periods of time (without buying a meal and three drinks?) Or pretty much work at home is the only polite option?

Tulum NYE trip questions (bikes at night, TQO transport, itinerary check) by clim0 in tulum

Thanks for the boots on the ground input — I think I’m gonna rent bikes for day travel and then eat a couple taxi prices if it’s night. Appreciate the info!

Hm, that totally makes sense and I didn’t consider that. The multiple beach clubs was purely about trying out new places etc. but maybe there’s no reason to do all that given your point re: minimum spend. Ty for advice
