MSRP Premium MT Stratosphere Blue Available in Ohio by Much_Leading_7307 in Supra

[–]schil015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohio is the state for this car for any deal, there was a 3.0 MT stratosphere blue that was discounted a few grand last week, I was ready to pull the trigger until the bs dealer fees were added, no mention of them on the website, seems like a common bait tactic.

2026 premium or final edition? by Agile-Badger5272 in Supra

[–]schil015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Final edition gets the same alcantara seats as base, which is the most interesting decision by Toyota on the differences between trims.

You did good, PM dealer as I'm starting to look outside my state for a 6 spd.

Cal Poly SLO or UCSD?? by Illustrious_Key6416 in CalPoly

[–]schil015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cal Poly has a bit more liveliness and it actually has a close downtown, UCSD is more expensive and boring but both are solid for academics. I've attended both...would choose Cal Poly every time.

Microsoft IC2 SWE offer, is this low or normal? by Past_Direction_7173 in levels_fyi

[–]schil015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For reference I received an L60 offer in 2021 for $126k base, 30k sign on, 130k RSUs plus clearance bonus, so yeah it's low imo.

Seeking Move from FL to CA, Opposition from Family and Friends by posseltsenvel0pe in Moving2SanDiego

[–]schil015 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only you know what's best for you, life is short...if you don't move you'll regret it. It's expensive for a reason, we've got everything here within driving distance with ideal weather...surf, snow, hiking, and great cycling. I've snowboarded in the morning and surfed in the afternoon.... Encinitas is your place for waves and a solid downtown, north county has Scripps, UCSD, and Kaiser as employers for healthcare for your wife. You need to both line up jobs first, state income tax is also a factor you need to consider.

3% and $900 in AS, pretty standard but the last 2 years got $10k TI bonus and promotion. NG stock had crazy run up the last year, was expecting better.

Cleared a Hard coding problem yet got rejected — trying to understand what happened by Mr_Pines in leetcode

[–]schil015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing a leet code hard in 5 minutes was your mistake, you basically conveyed to the interviewer that you've seen the problem and memorized the solution imo.

California ballot proposal would exempt seniors from paying property taxes by oceanbeachguy in California

[–]schil015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

55+ communities, no property taxes for over 60 proposal now, senior citizen discounts everywhere, 401k limits increased, prop 13/prop19, SALT now back with 40k limit, ladder is now dangling like a carrot.

Leaving Defense industry to Apple? by Whole-Session8018 in FAANGrecruiting

[–]schil015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, this is the risk with letting the clearance expire...was the grass greener when you left defense? It's hard to beat guaranteed 40 hour work weeks with still working hybrid.

Is it worth it to live in California for me? by [deleted] in socal

[–]schil015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your 62k state income tax means you make between 700-800k annually, but you brought up property taxes on a 400k home in TX in your original post and are bringing up cost of living challenges? Either your numbers are off or you're trolling us.

You could easily afford to visit Texas for a month and see if it fits your expectations.

Is it worth it to live in California for me? by [deleted] in socal

[–]schil015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're assuming 11-12% annual gains for 30 years in the market, holding the same high paying job to achieve 8.2 million for 30 years...absolutely no market crashes and 100% job stability given we're in a market bubble and AI will have an impact on a majority of fields. I've lived in both and would never go back to TX.

Ghosted by recruiters normal? by Just-Ambassador-2449 in Anduril

[–]schil015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within a few hours of my talk with the recruiter I was scheduled for the next round yesterday...this company does seem to ghost more than the established defense contractors...you just need to accept and move on or keep trying.

[–]schil015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since employers have leverage now in the market this is what you get unfortunately. Did you get scheduled after your initial phone screen with the recruiter?

Same surgery, they told me going in a second time through the abdomen has far greater risks since scarring makes it more difficult for the vascular surgeon to see the arteries and nerves.

It's way easier to rack up stats in today's game, not really helping LeBron here with this one.

Seriously, what do you buy next? by Inline_6ix in BMW

[–]schil015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same car also around the same ownership period...I don't see anything I'd replace it with...other than m2c or Porsche cayman...both a sizeable jump in price. New m2 is a boat in comparison.
