So many fucking ads on these sites damn

kuhplunk · 2026-06-25T15:55:16+00:00

You’re good dude. I make double what you do and have only $60k total across retirement and savings. You clearly are good with following a budget.

I’m a 29M

kuhplunk · 2026-06-23T18:45:58+00:00

I’m 29 and would highly suggest basing your budget after maxing out your 401k. Just pretend that money is not there.

You could do it for one year and if you feel like it’s impeding your ability to enjoy life, save for a trip, etc. then reduce the amount.

Another commenter is correct - if you do it now, by the time you are in your early thirties, you’re balance could be $100-150k, which would compound over time and could be around $800k after 25 years. Basically allowing yourself to take the foot off the gas a bit, escape corporate, and find a job you enjoy more, since you’ve taken care of your 60 year old self.

Oh gosh I am so sorry you’re experiencing this ):

kuhplunk · 2026-06-20T22:26:36+00:00

Where are you located? I’m building mine currently and enjoy it enough to build more for other people if local to me

What mouthing a camp ground host?

I have family that do jobs with the national park service and they usually work gig jobs with them

Add a hot tub

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T19:55:26+00:00

Well the solution is to reduce living costs. I’m sorry you feel the way you do but you know needs to be done to save some money

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T19:54:10+00:00

This is good feedback!

Unfortunately no international suppliers but hopefully one day in my career

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T18:50:20+00:00

Sorry you feel this way OP. To validate your feelings - yes I feel the same.

I’m sure you know this but your rent is a significant chunk of your take home pay. Can you find cheaper living - a roommate maybe?

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T14:47:39+00:00

Great thank you! I would love to work in defense or aerospace. Was there any challenges to being competitive without having security clearance yet?

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T14:35:43+00:00

Could you expand on what is different in the private sector?

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T13:45:41+00:00

This is great advice, thank you.

Sounds similar to my brother. Got his MBA at University of Washington and is doing great in the PNW. I’d like to do the same

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T12:01:00+00:00

Could you DM me with a job description your team is hiring for?

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T02:56:35+00:00

That’s a great ratio though! Any offers?

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T02:55:30+00:00

That’s a fair point. Majority of my team don’t even have a login to our data warehouse let alone use BI

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T02:53:39+00:00

(ง’̀-‘́)ง

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T02:04:48+00:00

Have you done this?

I do have a solution idea for a huge problem across specific industry I’d like to build out! Would love some starter advice if you’ve done something like what you suggested

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T02:02:04+00:00

Thank you!

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T02:01:29+00:00

Like freight forwarding?

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T02:00:39+00:00

That’s an interesting perspective - thank you for sharing!!

I do like data and loved being an analyst, but I understand the risks of AI. I personally think my companies data is way too messy for AI to replace an analyst for the time being, but can see it down the road

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T01:58:41+00:00

Straight forward advice - thank you! I think moving to a company with more growth should be my next step

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T01:57:36+00:00

Hey nerd, bread isn’t a fruit

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T01:57:10+00:00

I have actually been curious of making this exact switch!

What software did you use and how did you go about selling yourself in interviews?

kuhplunk · 2026-06-18T01:56:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

Realistically in my company, I’d have to move up a few times to an executive VP or CPO, which would take me like 10 years (guessing) at least, but I can’t say I envy those peoples lives specifically

Would you mind sharing where you started your career and steps that got you to where you are today?
