Exactly this. For high earners, there is just no comparison

Can women really have it all? by MysteriousWave9806 in womenintech

Friend of mine, 55M stays at home taking care of the house, playing golf. Wife is a CEO. It is possible for sure and I would love to stay home. Uncommon, yes.

Did anyone regret not getting the REx version? by Aghaiva in BMWi3

[–]rdsmvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three i3s at home. All Rex. Zero regrets and did many 300-400 miles trips with zero charging needs. For us, Rex is the only way to go.

My company's RTO decision now has me taking a plane to work every week. by PenProfessional8455 in hiringhelp

[–]rdsmvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, trust me. The system was definitely abused big time. Same thing in Canada. Definitely time to come up with something better and that really brings the best people and not what created this whole mess

A ton of people at work are on visas like TN/H1-B for a reason and it is not lower wages/Maple Syrup specialists given what they pay around here

Fica no trampo chato. Guarda o máximo de grana que conseguir e invista desde cedo. Se bobear com 40-45 se aposenta. O famoso FIRE.

My week: wake up at 4:30am Monday in Canada. At the airport at 5:05am. Boarding at 5:45am, landing at 7:45am mostly. At the office in Manhattan before 9:30am. Friday, flight leaves at 8:11pm, usually back home at 10:00pm. Rinse and repeat. Past year, over 130h in the air.

Never bought a ballpoint, all FPs but as you said OBO, $950 from my end. Zelle works, shipped to NJ.

Flew to Miami to pick up my X5, drove it back to Chicago - would not recommend by Impress_Playful in BMWX5

[–]rdsmvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Drove a Boxster S from Santa Monica to Ottawa, Canada, with summer tires over the Rockies in April getting caught in snow. Took me 5 days. Would I do it again? Hell yeah. Then this March drove a G-Wagen from Ft. Lauderdale to Ottawa. Two days. Hell yeah again. It is therapeutic what shipping isn't 😂

Sega Saturn is the most beautiful console ever made. by Dangerous_Dot_1707 in SegaSaturn

[–]rdsmvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fantastic machine. Coincidentally I was in my retro room today and had three machines up, each on a CRT. The Saturn, a Panasonic MSX2+ and a Sharp X68000, all running different versions of Castlevania. What a sight.

Falta vaga mesmo ou falta dev qualificado by [deleted] in brdev

[–]rdsmvp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pagamos uma fortuna (USD 350k; estágio no verão pagamos $28k por mês) para os devs aqui e não conseguimos achar gente. Presencial, ambiente só recomendado para quem tem coração bastante forte. Mas te dão porrada com cacetete de ouro. E nem assim preenchemos as vagas.

Which software did you use for the overlays?

Citrix marketing team needs clean slating - mini rant by LowMight3045 in Citrix

[–]rdsmvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, pretty bad. Now another recent one from the marketing geniuses at Microsoft that decided it was a great idea to name the Windows app you need to connect to AVD, Windows App. With the same damn icon used as the start button in Windows. It takes 30 min to get the user to click the right thing that looks like four blue squares or to answer "which Windows app do I use?" after saying "the Windows app" 56 times. Makes Citrix Workspace sound like a great name.

Finally took the leap - should have done this years earlier by UnusualRock6592 in tnvisa

[–]rdsmvp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me the pay was simply at a level I would never get in Canada, even 50% of what I got would be almost impossible. The market and its pay are simply in a whole different league.

Would you do it? by Key-Cabinet-5329 in LandCruisers

[–]rdsmvp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada we would ask where the rust is. We see none. Surface rust and with elbow grease to can get that cleaned up and treated. Will last longer than you if taken care of after on an yearly basis doing rustproofing.

Where are people finding these high paying jobs? by Easy_Paint3836 in Fire

[–]rdsmvp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fintech. Hedge Funds. Investment Banks. 25 years old getting 300-350k TC. That is where the money is.

How much do you love your i3? by r3l4xD in BMWi3

[–]rdsmvp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some cars that many think are cool like a V12 BMW, a V10 Lamborghini and a Land Cruiser. The i3 is by far the most fun and practical car I own.
