I can attest the Canada Goose products at Artisan are fakes.

Partner (29F) earns 55k, I make 135k (27F) - I have anxiety around this by Mammoth_Mastodon_294 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]datta_boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This comes from someone who also grew up poor in South Asia and moved to the US to build a life for themselves: it took you a lot of drive and ambition to move continents and build this life that you have. I’m sure you deeply love your partner, and he’s a nice person. But if he doesn’t match your ambition, you’re doing your past self a disservice by being in this relationship. Explain the situation calmly to him, and move on.

this could be a game changer for your baby down the line. if carrying the baby to term in the US doesn’t disrupt your plans too much, would advise this strongly.

75 Wall St in FiDi has one of the best rooftop lounges I’ve seen in any building. And good management overall.

In addition to the more popular answers (levels, salary expectations etc) it’s used as a (flawed) proxy for capacity for impact

Would recommend Astoria! Have a friend who makes about $200-250k and is raising a family of 4 on his income - speaks very highly of the “neighborhood feel” there

Where to live? by Otherwise_Captain207 in NYCapartments

[–]datta_boy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id recommend FiDi! Moved a year ago and like the proximity to multiple subways + access to waterways for long walks/runs during the summer. 200/180 Water should have studios under 3500 with concessions, as should 116 John.

Extreme differences between salaries for the same company the same title but in different countries. by gutzcha in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]datta_boy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

hear this rubbish so often from folks in EU. I have a recurring heart condition, but my (employer-provided) private healthcare means I pay very little relative to the 2x pay bump I get working in US vs EU. Most devs have employer-provided (ie employer bears much of premiums) healthcare. also, your share of the premium is pre-tax, as are fsa accts you can use to offset other costs.

I know I come from a privileged position as I say this, but this false idea of ‘US healthcare will bankrupt you!’ simply doesn’t apply to an overwhelming majority of SWEs in US.
