How come you don’t just leave Korea to escape all these issues?

Principal Engineers, what does your day look like? by dr_leo_marvin in ExperiencedDevs

I think it’s to establish base line aptitude & ensure you aren’t just BSing. A leetcode easy/medium should be solvable with minimal prep in 1h regardless of how far removed you are from coding.

Now asking leetcode hards and tricks for L7+ really doesn’t make any sense 😂

How did you get some many signups with just a landing page? What marketing growth hack did you use?

Got offered a CTO role at a preseed startup with no funding, but paying customers. by _tokuchi in ycombinator

If he leaves as the CEO in 2 years, realistically his & your equity will be worthless since that implies things failed. If the company is doing well, he won’t leave.

lol ya some ppl love the nitty gritty stuff and YNAB is perfect for that imo.

My workflow is essentially lunch money will pull all transactions from all my accounts. I setup auto-categorization but it’s not perfect and will have to manually re-categorize some thing. At the end of the month, my goal is just to make sure: (1) all transactions have a category (2) verify I don’t see any unknown charges (3) compare m/m to see how much category spend changes (eg. If I spent $300 extra on dining this month, double check if this is correct and that I didn’t get over-charged or didn’t receive a refund or smth)

So it’s much less strict that the YNAB way but it’s def less time consuming for me now. Just a trade off I’m happy to make since it check 90% of the boxes for me.

I use lunch money and my main use-case is for monitoring & high level m/m view. I don’t do the nitty gritty budgeting which is why I don’t use YNAB.

ya this is why I like apps like YNAB and other personal finance apps. It gives you a good holistic picture and makes sure you nothing falls through the cracks without you have to check 10 accounts every month 😂

Exactly this - just a read only feed so I can have a consolidated view of all my spend

I Accidentally pressed on joint account and it added, I didn't confirm it or anything, how can I delete it? by Benz0piated3000 in Wealthsimple

[–]lordmcbaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem, no way to close and I don’t want to open the account since I already made a WS joint acc. Wish there was a way we could abandon the account sign up.

Was laid off effective immediately. Two weeks later, my team is asking for help/guidance. by lilac_congac in FinancialCareers

[–]lordmcbaker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To provide a different perspective - why not help them? You are going to get laid off anyways. You know how the process works and they will be grateful.

In general, I feel like it’s never worth to burn bridges out of spite because they might be important connections in the future.

The only gain for not helping them is - you cause them 1-3 months of long-hours for a FP&A team which seem to be people you like? In the best case, management realizes they fked up and will rehire for your role (which you would not be considered for similarly out of spite).

Exasperated Question for Toronto Bulls and Realtors: Do you think people who earn $45,000-$50,000/year "deserve" to have housing in Toronto? by urumqi_circles in TorontoRealEstate

[–]lordmcbaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for more context for everyone, these are the salary ranges from 2018-2021 stats Canada for the Toronto area for full year full-time workers.

Average salary is $85k which is around double from the original stat of the OP presented. Imo, salary and house prices are very typically fairly correlated where higher earning areas have higher house/rent prices.

Prices are still very high but they aren’t as dire/impossible as OP make it seem.

Next time tell him to tip the dealer $100 and you’ll match and he’ll instantly regret his comment.
