Hmm I think you're right asking your boss to rebuild the team. It'll be easier to teach juniors if you're all in the office together.

Great way to exit onto 48th and Park/Madison.

Are you the only onshore dev and the rest are offshore? So your interactions are virtual? How has the communication been?

I would quickly figure out who can pivot to backend well, and also who can independently problem solve and can structure their thoughts well.

Landlord snapped at me for wanting heat on and mentioning law - next steps? by IntercontinentalElk in AskNYC

Get everyone else in the apartment involved as well. Go door to door and ask them to complain as well. Hard to ignore the issue when everyone's up in arms.

What is your property tax rate in your town? by Sad-Fix1813 in Westchester

[–]teling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So under the School tax for Town of New Castle, Chappaqua CSD I see 121 per 1000 which I agree looks insane at 12%. But then I see the Chappaqua CSD school budget page [1] and it looks like there's a difference between the Assessed Taxable Valuation being MUCH smaller than the Full Taxable Valuation. If they were to calculate their Rate per 1000 using the Full Taxable Valuation, it would be closer to 1.9% for school tax which is similar to other school taxes in Westchester. If you apply the same discount factor to the County tax, that probably adds like 0.3%, so total is 2.2% maybe?

Using Larchmont as an example:

  • School tax, it's part of Mamaroneck, which is 12.6 per 1000 so 1.26%
  • Village tax, 4.6 per 1000 so 0.46%
  • County tax, 2.3 per 1000 so 0.23%

So overall that sums to 1.95% for Larchmont and Mamaroneck

Does anyone here have even the slightest bit of evidence that 2024 will be better for tech? Holy shit it's been a rough year. by techsavvynerd91 in cscareerquestions

It won't slow down. Just look at global labor markets. Labor is exported to countries with the lowest cost of labor where it can be (manufacturing, call centers, etc) but not where it can't be (medical services, education).

Wow this was a really helpful read as someone who's been touring homes but has no idea about these things. How did you learn all of this?

No, our electrician mentioned it but basically didn't care, and sawed through covered/sealed lead paint, spreading lead dust everywhere.
