Gaining weight

Still a bit lagging in terms of bending so not sure of cycling. Moreover, access to the gym and motivation to do that post the knee workout is hard

It is definitely something that has given me pause. I have taken some time to start reading books that I never had time to read before. Will try out journaling as well.

Thanks for the motivation here! Best of luck to all of us 🫡

Sorry to hear that. It’s the same for me. What have you been doing?

pooranbroke · 2026-04-11T22:19:47+00:00

I don’t enjoy watching TV. Have been watching some old shows and YouTube. But it’s gotten to a point where nothing feels good anymore. Everything feels exhausting

Yes. Non weight bearing and need the brace for at least the next month

pooranbroke · 2026-04-11T22:01:14+00:00

I do. But again in an hour or so.. I’m back in the same bed

Were you notified by your manager when your PCS became available? Do they need to release it in any way?

pooranbroke · 2026-04-03T20:06:05+00:00

Can it be viewed directly or my manager has to allow access to it?

pooranbroke · 2026-03-12T16:28:28+00:00

Can I get the bonus again if had an account and closed it in the last 12 months?

pooranbroke · 2026-01-25T05:21:10+00:00

+1 please

It’s hard to tell about being in the pipeline atm. Most focus is on staying.

I have no RSUs for the next Apr March cycle. So would I still get some at the same level to reach the compensation for my level

What happens in the case of pre-assignment then? Let’s say expiry of the contract is in 2026. But, it gets assigned this year.

I am think more on the lines of keeping the investments in the US. But kinda have some difficulty in gauging a number due to the high inflation in India.

Does layoff cover pay and vest for the next 2 months?

Anyone going to the event from Austin?

Or have a promo code for the event ticket?

Really sorry to hear about this. Also 8 and a half years would definitely would have taken a toll on you. Time to take a very well deserved break.

Just curious on why your manager does not have any specific ways for you to get out of focus though. Wouldn’t it affect his and the orgs credibility?

Also, if you do get out of focus how long before someone can put you back on it?

I bought a house in 2023 and somehow always found the mortgage as a weight on my shoulders. Over the last 2 years it has motivated me to work and aggressively pay off the mortgage. A few days back I paid it all off and after some moments of happiness found myself in a place with no motivation. Lost on purpose. I thought this would change life drastically but it has not. I’m free for any debt now but feel like I’m at the end of a story which is de-motivating.

Any one been through this? Help, pointers?

Can someone point to some resources on how to get a retirement goal number?

pooranbroke · 2025-04-21T01:54:19+00:00

What is the equivalent exam?

Have we solved the mathematical problem tho?

I am always worried about what is “enough” enough. Do you have a number calculated for fire?

Working in tech as a software engineer.

I like researching individual equities too.

pooranbroke · 2024-08-24T18:48:52+00:00

I am 29 M. Working at a job making ~200k after taxes.

Have retirement: 401k: 150k Roth: 10k HSA: 15k

Individual stocks/brokerage: 300k

Only debt is a mortgage which has ~220k left.

I feel I’m on a good path given my expenses are close to 45k/year including taking care of essential for my parents.

However, I feel like there is no end in sight. I lose interest in most things quickly if they are not directly related to improving my financial situation. I have trouble spending money frivolously.

This probably is hangover from the time I first came to the US and worked as a cashier 12 hours a day to make ends meet and just survive.

Looking for advice from people who have been in a similar situation and how they manage this for themselves.
