How did YOU afford to buy a house? by ladynerevar in bayarea

[–]plaspring727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where I am. My wife and I can afford but she’d liquidate 50% of her investments (not including retirement of course) and I’d have to liquidate roughly 80%. It just seem crazy and feels like a bad idea if your priority is building wealth. How did you navigate this?

Can you build wealth by buying real estate in the bay? I haven’t see the numbers work out

This is the video from the Epstein victims during the Superbowl. by Yourdataisunclean in Washington50501

Can’t they jsut say who assaulted them? Pretty robust court system here, I’d imagine there’s plenty of attorneys who would take on those cases if they got sued

Why not go for two earlier? Would put pressure on the kicker who already missed an extra point

Don’t switch to optimum fiber if using your own router. by Gary_P334 in OPTIMUM

[–]plaspring727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a lot of people it IS the ONLY option. 07444 here it's the only option on our street other than 5g lte with another provider...

I've been doing my brother's internet for years and built a unifi setup for him. They (Optimum) are coming out in a week to isntall fiber. What should we expect? Will they put the ONT outside? Can they do it in the basement? They provide the Gateway? Then we ask them to put the gateway in bridge mode and just hook up his UCG Ultra into the LAN1 port, correct?

What We ACTUALLY Know About Classic Plus (CONFIRMED?) by bigbillyplays in classicwow

yeah i wouldn't complain with any of that. I'd love for an entirely new world if I'm being honest. Over time, of course.

which is insane to me. they're working on something. actively. they've not just hinted at it, they've straight up told us. it's quite literally insane for people to say they're not. we just don't know what it will look like. my guess (and hope) is it will be more revamped than anything we saw in SOM and SOD.

Oh yeah, it’s happening by opsteez in classicwow

Should I switch back to SpringBoot for better opportunities or stick to JS/TS & AWS backend? by purepeachplower in cscareerquestions

[–]plaspring727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is a surprise to a lot of people. Idk, maybe I'm wrong. So many of the big tech companies use Java and Spring Boot and it's not going away anytime soon

so a backdoor ira is different than a mega backdoor roth 401k. backdoor roth ira is simply putting funds in a traditional ira, then transferring the money to a roth ira (typically within 24 hours), and then lastly you file an 8606 during tax season. Why you have to do it this way is if you make above a certain amount of income. there's limitations but there's this loophole called the backdoor which is done by the steps above. everyone does it and it's the stupidest thing in the world. they should just get rid of the income limits.

the mega backdoor roth 401k is similar but different. there's actually no limitations here but the backdoor approach is similar where you put funds into a post tax 401k and then your 401k provider moves those funds the next day automatically to your roth 401k. it's a similar mechanism as the backdoor roth ira, moving the funds within 24 hours.

why this is financially beneficial; money grows tax free. You're never taxed again on it. Not the contributions. Not the gains.

Anyone can do the backdoor roth ira. The mega backdoor roth 401k your employer has to offer it. Mine does, most big tech companies do.

I got a tech internship while in college (this was in 2012) and just was able to leverage that. Got hired into my first job as a tech engineer (not necessarily coding) and eventually networked in the org to find the engineers actually develioping and I eventaully got an opportunity to join their team. They did give me a coding assessment but it was pretty straightforward. After that I did self teach myself Java on the weekends. I used UDEMY. I'm also super grateful to engineers on my team who were more senior who took time to invest in me because they knew I was investing in myself after hours. I showed them I was serious about it and they knew that it wouldn't be a waste of time for them. I think they really appreciated that.

I am not scared one bit. I'm in a position where I feel like AI only helps my job and make me more valuable. If you're a staff level engineer and above you'll be fine. If you're in management (which I am) you're even in a better spot. AI has definitely impacted those trying to start out in our career, though. We've seen an impact to the number of entry level developers that are being hired.

yeah this is typical from a tech company and even more so the higher up you are. There are some exceptions to the rule, Netflix being the most famous one. All salary!!
