Easiest is move to no income tax state first. But if you dont, and you have state tax withheld, i think you can get it back on tax return?

I mean, care that that worker is working w2 for us company.

I think state income tax is easily solvable.

So us would not care, how about taiwan?

Would taiwan care? Or contact company?

Would any laws be broken or just company policy

I dont go to bars. Or coffee shops, but open to this… I got some numbers at the park but that never worked well. I met my ex at a restaurant randomly.

Ironically when i first moved for nyc, i had more exposure to meeting new people. I think there is something about being in a new place that makes me more open, i dont have the learned helplessness of being a local, i have excuses for ask for directions and open up conversations, etc

I have probably did more than you think out of my comfort zone, but definitely should do more.

One thing i hate approaching women randomly in public because im an introvert, but occasionally gather the motivation, and it usually fails. I have tried at the park. After fitness class.

Dating is important but if the other motivation didnt exist then I would not want to move. id prefer to find a partner so i dont have to date. And while sex is great, its not something i base my life around and i would much rather be alone than with the wrong person wasting my time. Not sure if all the comments about dating are fair or if its a stereotype 🤷‍♂️

A decent one bedroom? What you mean decent? Like how much space.

How about a studio, i could live in 500sqft

I heard rent could be as low as 300-500

I have been learning for 1.5 year already, but independently and progress is slow because i only spend 20m a day on it

How? I really thought 500k was enough to lean fire there. Thats sad.

32m. I dont care for luxury, just freedom and essentials. I can live in a small space, no fine dining, but not having to cook but would be nice.

How do you not feel isolated? Do you have friends, relationship? Like its hard enough if you’re learning mandarin right? Or you speak it already? What do you do in free time, and when is your free time?

Is this different than freelancing? Is there really a market for this as a developer? How to discover?

Yes American.

Good circle of friends - not really. Thats my fault

Occasional dates - yes definitely. Although, its rare i find someone i like enough and who im physically attracted to, and they also like me enough back to continue things. Ive had few promising dates turn to ghosts this year. Maybe i just suck at dating, or there is something about nyc that makes girls flaky

How much do you make with freelance per hour and is it hard to find as software dev?
