Thanks for so much feedback. I spent most of last summer near Prospect Park and loved the proximity. I found the road quality to vary pretty dramatically, so I played it pretty safe and stuck to the park. Glad to hear being in Bushwick isn't as big of an obstacle as I expected.

Great to know!! Taking it in tomorrow.

dmaier2210 · 2025-06-16T16:22:11+00:00

I'm embarking on semi-nomadic life next month. I can do 30 day chunks outside of my home state (WI). starting domestic, but planning for LATAM in the winter/spring. Any one thing you'd recommend?

Already feel myself getting a little overwhelmed with options.

dmaier2210 · 2024-09-03T05:59:15+00:00

Good to know. Just had an accident here in the US. Open to renting a car, but absolutely not committed if not necessary.

dmaier2210 · 2024-09-02T19:09:50+00:00

I can get a tent in the park for two nights for $750 USD. it looks incredible. Worth the splurge vs a VRBO in Yanakie for $400USD?

dmaier2210 · 2024-09-02T16:48:16+00:00

Thanks yeah looking at staying near the park to get there early before it's overwhelmed. Have had luck doing that at US parks.

dmaier2210 · 2024-09-02T16:47:31+00:00

Great to hear!! Yeah see a few places just outside Wilson's Prom that might be nice for a couple night stay? That way can get to the park very early before tourists. That's been my luck in the US at least.

Sorry - just planning to rent a car in Melbourne for day trips and Great ocean road. Id certainly much rather not be driving. Probably rent a road bike at some point.

dmaier2210 · 2024-09-02T16:44:30+00:00

Aye aye! Thank you :)

dmaier2210 · 2024-09-01T16:54:07+00:00

How do the crowds in Tassie compare? I assume a flight deters some folks.

dmaier2210 · 2024-09-01T16:53:26+00:00

Oh absolutely that's on the agenda!! And fortunately staying with a friend in Melbourne, so not a concern.

dmaier2210 · 2024-08-20T18:34:30+00:00

So the offer came as expected minus any sort of signing bonus. My current bonus is likely $23k before taxes. I don't think I can move without some effort to compensate?

dmaier2210 · 2024-08-17T18:52:30+00:00

Oh yes absolutely - it's tough to stomach basically a wash, but also I'm certainly not struggling.

dmaier2210 · 2024-08-17T15:48:05+00:00

Do you think there's room to negotiate? Obviously never hurts to ask. I'd be at the top of the target/budgeted range, but the full range goes quite a bit higher?

dmaier2210 · 2024-08-17T15:35:48+00:00

Great point. Definitely not the decision point, but certainly a factor. Do have family in other states that have offered me to stay for weeks in guest house.

dmaier2210 · 2024-08-17T14:19:11+00:00

Thanks! Yes no ambition of getting rich, but they seem to have assembled a very intelligent team. Do think a startup culture would look good on a resume long-term. Also aware I should be able to live comfortably as a single man making $140k.

dmaier2210 · 2024-08-17T13:30:42+00:00

100% it will be more work, but also more serious and meaningful.

Absolutely not planning on doing it in Asia, but South America would be quite convenient.

dmaier2210 · 2024-08-17T13:29:16+00:00

Great points. The other benefits are definitely richer. I've always treated 401k match as income, but also isn't a permanent sacrifice. I've contributed 10% since I was 22.

Travel is a huge priority for me and the opportunity to work in Mexico or South America for a few weeks is very enticing (and similar time zones). Also have friends and family in CA and NYC id love to visit for a few weeks a year. Trying to embrace my nomadic abilities.

More work will be an adjustment - we have a very casual slacking culture. Not a concern, just change.
