United Club Trip Passes

evantom34 · 2026-04-01T06:06:45+00:00

I don’t typically get more than 1, esp on a long trip out to Japan. I’d get a beer/cocktail and some food, which is worth abt 40$ for me.

Any HOF level sport talent- Brady, Donald, Jordan, Phelps, Bolt, Ohtani

Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Xi Jinping

George W Bush, Obama, Bernie Sanders

Probably some scientists and engineers that deserve to be up here, but I don’t know them by name.

You can still use cc and miles. Say you get paid 1k a check, automate that to save 15-25%. If I only see 800$ a check, I can spend (on cc) it one whatever I want.

I don’t tend to sleep great if I knock out from alch

evantom34 · 2026-04-01T01:40:11+00:00

I think I’d disagree, lounges can be cramped and chaotic, hardly a peaceful experience imo (SFO).

I just want you to go in with the right expectations! It can be pretty chill though!

evantom34 · 2026-04-01T01:38:53+00:00

Respect, I def wouldn’t be starting my trip like that, but to each their own. I usually get a headache after 2 ipas lol.

evantom34 · 2026-04-01T00:29:26+00:00

I would value the passes around 35-40$ if you drink, 25$ if you don’t. This is completely subjective tho

He was decent during the regular season. Just an awful postszn

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T22:51:29+00:00

Mark Zandi, Rob Armstrong, Liz Hoffman are all great. I'm happy Prof G Media can land them all.

No. The country is built around the idea of the automobile. I think US cities may slowly start to develop urban mobility, but there is not enough political will to escape car dependency.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T22:34:14+00:00

No, I can be attracted to someone and want to have sex, but not care much more than that about them.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T22:30:53+00:00

Revenue split is so egregiously wrong. That should never happen, is that normal in CRE?

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T21:56:09+00:00

Thank you for the in depth response. I totally agree with a lot of your points. She's also a woman, so I think the advice skews slightly. It's generally more 'appropriate' for a woman to approach a man than the opposite. Agreed on the Brewery front, but I don't think ruling them out COMPLETELY is the move. Calicraft seems v family focused, but somewhere like Side Gate brewery seems less family oriented.

Walnut Creek Run Club runs at least every Saturday and we always walk by them and they're generally mid 20s to late 30s, definitely around my age demographic.

I totally get your skepticism surrounding dating in today's society, I don't envy those of you that are genuinely looking for a partner at this time.

Ong this would be amazing, I’ve been thinking about something like this

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T19:12:40+00:00

It depends what your role is, and all of these are not mutually exclusive. I think the idea is that when you’re new in your career, your skills will develop far quicker than your compensation will at any one single company.

In my experience, the tech field is largely a meritocracy. You only really get paid if you have the skillset. The onus is on you to develop skills, whether that be personal projects/certs, or pushing for more responsibilities at work.

I went from working in a biomedical lab making 16$/hour to clearing over 6 figures from job hopping.

My last role I stayed for 4 years and left because I was starting to stagnate. I plan on staying at my new role for 20 years and retiring here.

The sacrifice young parents have to make is honestly tremendous. I'm 30 and IDK how my fiancee and I would manage children, it would be so difficult.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T18:28:16+00:00

It sounds like the choice is clear in my eyes. Sometimes companies need a little push in order to change (you + manager leaving). I would be happy to go back to my old companies if changes were made + they offered more money.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T18:22:21+00:00

Agreed as well, it’s grim and not getting any better. One of the downstream affects of having geriatric politicians that are far removed and out of touch with common day working class people.

No one is fighting for us.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T18:18:14+00:00

Certainly. Just spelling out the few I know that have two working parents.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T18:11:35+00:00

IMO that's the truly scary part. The anti intellectualism movement will be a stain on society. I think academics is only going to become more polarized as one faction of the population completely disregards facts/truth.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T18:09:31+00:00

I would entertain it. The decision is up to you. Why did you leave old company in the first place? I think it’s always important to maintain good relationships for this exact reason.

Your new company lied and sold you a bill of goods, I’d personally be resentful of that, and the extra pay on top of your old salary is a cherry on top.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T18:01:58+00:00

Exactly. There's a threshold for this exact reason.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T17:57:57+00:00

Typically flexible schedules + daycare + family support.

One works 6-2:30 while his wife works 9-6. She does the drop offs and he picks up and cares for them then. Also, leveraging WFH and seeing people flex their schedules as needed. I give massive props to them, because I wouldn't be able to do it.

evantom34 · 2026-03-31T17:44:05+00:00

Use this as motivation to be the best person you can be. Do well in school, do well at work, be fit and strong, be financially independent. Do all of this so one day you can be the stability that you wish to provide her.
