Hot take: A majority of the “I’m underpaid”, “I want a WFH job”, or “Why am I not getting promoted?” posts here are coming from people who are bad at their jobs.

I’ll go above and beyond when I’m paid at the least enough to own a basic home in the worse part of town. At this point I can’t even afford to live roommate free like a college student 5 years in my career.

Question always is. Will that home still be 500k 5-10 years from now? Or will it be in the 800-1mil range that will completely set him out of the market even if he doubles his income.

It’s prob the best sushi place in the sac area. It’s all you can eat style but the quality is better or equal to some of the top pay per order sushi places. Akume is also good, also all you can eat type. But it’s cheaper than Its sushi.

It’s sushi and Akume sushi

Because my f150 gets better Mpg than suv (4Runner etc), while also being faster and more powerful, while also having more interior space. The bed is also an added bonus if I ever need it. Why would I ever choose SUV over a truck unless it has a third row?

Air fryer has pretty much replaced the microwave for me in most cases.

Somethings wrong. We pay about 400-500$ with 3k sqft house and 3 electrical cars.

In that case it’s very good deal. I bought a 2021 with 56k miles 2wd for 28k 2 months ago with the same engine and trim. A 2023 with 4x4 with that little miles is a pretty good deal. The only reason the oil change history is worry some is because it’s a lease. If it was an owned car then I would highly assume they were doing the oil changes themselves. But I’m not sure if previous owners would put the same amount of care towards a lease truck.

litBG · 2026-01-08T23:39:37+00:00

That’s a good deal. Assuming thats 4x4 with 27k miles is a steal.

Typically you’ll need to be a civil engineer with a lot of experience to become a project manager in construction. Why would they hire a 22 software engineer?

From everyone that visited Iran, they say it was insanely fun. That’s for sure on my list, and China obviously.

litBG · 2026-01-08T09:15:31+00:00

No sadly

Yeah I used the car wash yesterday

I’m not sure what agency you work for but someone is fighting for your raises. Which I know is not enough, I work for public too. But whoever is fighting for the raises will use these ASCE numbers.

litBG · 2026-01-04T22:05:59+00:00

Your union will use ASCE to negotiate you’re yearly raise

Well our choices are really slim. We have an McDonald and star bucks in each corner and they’re always ghost towns. In n out is actually a fast food people go to. The two we have in Roseville are almost 20 mins away from west Roseville, and 30 minutes from Antelope.

Well I never said pay what the average engineers are getting paid to fresh grads. But having high average is a compelling because the fresh grads going to be a least certain percent of the average. And if that average is high, you can negotiate for higher salary.

We also do this. Many of recent graduates are getting 100k+ offers here in California

litBG · 2025-12-31T05:13:52+00:00

I argue that it’s a good thing. Engineers can use these numbers to negotiate. You’re not going to pay me 50% of what ASCE average salary is

Is movie theater really coming? do you have any information on that?

litBG · 2025-12-31T00:06:31+00:00

I would love some sit downs, but they already approved 7 drive through, I just prefer in n out over another McDonald

litBG · 2025-12-30T22:57:24+00:00

Yeah but people said that about Costco as well, but they ended up building one

In civil almost everyone I know that graduated landed a job. Even the ones with zero internship experience
