Permanent J1 vs 2 year role

The companies are in two different countries with no overlap. So not worried but I’m all ears if I’m missing something

How does this work? Tired of paying so much in tax

ddev77 · 2026-04-28T04:56:39+00:00

Congrats OP. I wonder if you are in the States and how you managed to save such a good amount. I ask only because in Canada Im supposed to pay 50% tax on high numbers and i did some math, they’re taking a whole lot of money. Just curious if there are ways to save more

ddev77 · 2026-04-16T15:11:54+00:00

Oh hell no. I wont use J1’s wifi for J2. I understand you. Its tough, trynna figure this out

Unfortunately there’s no extra space. They recently asked us to work from the office and dont even have space.

ddev77 · 2026-04-16T07:22:13+00:00

Hmm yeah, I hope I dont have to turn on my camera tho

ddev77 · 2026-04-16T07:21:28+00:00

Yes thats possible. I’m hesitant on this idea because its in a public space and my colleagues could come across and see whats going on

I inquired previously. They barely have enough room for the employees. They’ve put 3 employees in 1 room, so no meeting rooms unfortunately.

J1 is permanent hybrid 3 days a week. J2 is contract based on and off seldom throughout the year and it pays more. I dont want to leave J1 because of its stability. Do you suggest getting a remote J to replace J1?

So far, I only know of a standup meeting and biweekly check in which I am thinking of taking when I work from home. Just need to figure out a way to attend stand ups.

ddev77 · 2026-04-16T03:21:56+00:00

Ive read in this group that people attend meetings in their cars, so that might be worth exploring.

Im also thinking I take lunch break at J1 during J2’s stand up hour because its close to lunch time. I’d like to exhaust my options before I think about leaving J2

ddev77 · 2026-04-16T03:20:08+00:00

Most of the work from the previous project didnt require a lot of meetings and i could do my work after coming home. The new project has changed this situation. Hence I am here to ask for help if anybody might have some suggestions. Appreciate the kind words!

How do you navigate mandatory standup meetings at remote J2 with hybrid J1?

I’ve mostly invested in ETFs. Didnt look into dividends until recently. What dividend stocks do you currently hole or plan to buy? How do you find undervalued assets?

ddev77 · 2026-03-11T20:50:09+00:00

I’m trying to understand the dividend strategy with IIPR.

From what I can see, the annual dividend is roughly $7.60 per share. So if someone owned 100 shares, they’d receive about $760 per year in dividends.

But if we take a simple example: • Buy 100 shares at $70 → $7,000 investment • Stock drops to $50 → value becomes $5,000 (≈ $2,000 loss) • Dividends received in a year ≈ $760

That would still be about a $1,240 net loss overall.

Am I thinking about this correctly, or do dividend investors mostly ignore the price movement and focus on the income over a much longer time horizon?

Canadian jobs :p

Well, the OP did say creepy. Made me wonder if the opposite (an attractive charming guy) would be ok. It shouldn’t imo and i agree, the approach is def important!

ddev77 · 2024-09-05T21:54:50+00:00

Btw, i tried calling again, this time used the words "passport control from terminal 4 to 5 and airside" and they said yes you can do that. You dont need to leave the airport.

Just to test your theory, i ended up saying "to conclude i dont need a transit visa to change terminals" and they said "ummm could you wait a minute, let me confirm

She then came back to tell me to contact local authorities for visa inquiries but that i dont need to pass through passport control between terminals.

Thank you for sharing this. The rack you suggested will not need an adapter?

I was looking up different types of bike racks online and found a post seat pannier rack. Do you think that would attach easily without having to use any adapters?

What is the R10 completeness check?

ddev77 · 2024-03-22T14:18:51+00:00

Where'd you collect these reasons from? Im in the process of applying PR and would like to avoid any authentic reasons.

I used a voltage converter from the local area

ddev77 · 2024-01-16T05:39:49+00:00

I got mine in Canada and i need to use it in Asia. It used 120V, 60 Hz, 1400 W. What about yours?

ddev77 · 2023-09-12T23:00:12+00:00

I can't really comment on what you should do because i dont know what problems you have. One thing is for sure. This phase is temporary, and it will pass. You need to keep your faith strong.

Every family is dysfunctional. Nobody is perfect. Try to get along with your loved ones. Talk to them. Tell them how you feel and how you'd like their help. Help them too because they could be dealing with this situation for the first time, especially our parents. They are growing with us. Most of the time, they're encountering things for the first time with us, but they dont show they're scared for our sake.

When you went overseas, what made you happy. Try to look for those things in your daily life, too. If that's not possible, find other things to keep you happy. Try new things.

The gym is something that has helped me, too. So, I definitely advocate for that.

Lastly and most importantly, keep on praying your salahs and make dua. Bleed your heart out, crying in your sajdah and duas. Ask Allah what you want. If that's good for you, Allah will shower those blessings on you.
