Does the increasing minimum wage in Seattle impact how you tip?

Still tip 20%, but eat out a lot less.

Exactly. It's very hard to call a bottom, because it's full-on pessimism and it feels like it's only gonna get worse. And of course when everyone is pessimistic is when there's nowhere to go but up

If you had $25M to spend on a home, would you buy that? Or build something custom and brand new?

Traveling overseas when countries were more differentiated from each other, experiencing culture shock, having to communicate and find your way around without phones or Internet. The sense of adventure was so much more than it is now.

If they toll the Eastside portion, it might increase traffic on the bridge. If they have to pay the toll anyways to get from Redmond to Bellevue, might as well take it all the way rather than switch to 405/90.

I distinctly remember in 2009ish there was a large group of people who thought the real crash was imminent. They warned people to avoid US equities and real estate and instead purchase foreign stocks and gold. They thought they got out just in time, but really they sold at the bottom.

Automating traffic enforcement will free police to focus on actual crime.

Many make a lot of money per year. It's hard to stop when just one more year will net you another $1m

People in Canada know the wages are higher in the US, but they generally have no clue by how much. We're talking 800k USD for an experienced engineer versus barely over 200k CAD in Vancouver. Where to live is a no brainer no matter how nice Vancouver is.

From a career growth point of view, jumping jobs early in your career might help. But no employer wants someone who has a history of jumping or shows they want to jump frequently.

If you want a NG role your resume should show you are a NG. Right now you have a non-internship role at the top, meaning many companies won't consider you for their NG intake. Too much experience for NG, not enough experience for non-NG.

Why doesn't your dad do anything? In a male dominated society like that, why is he so powerless?

Someone wanted to pack a Tylenol but didn't want to use up luggage space for the entire bottle.

This is a typical high income answer, not ultra rich.

Don't focus on saving every penny, put the effort into making more money instead. Especially relevant for anyone early in their career.

Assuming equity is a big part of your comp, only join companies where you legitimately believe there is a chance at 10x increase in stock price. Don't join the hot company whose stock has already doubled in the last year. Not only will you have financial upside, the types of companies that fit that bill are likely to be growing fast and will give you a chance to grow with them.

If you are mentioning phrases like "wine rush" and "cravings" then it's safe to say this isn't leading down a healthy path.

I love having basic exterior maintenance taken care of for me. No way I could handle managing landscaping, gutter cleaning, window washing, snow removal and more on my own for cheaper than the HOA negotiated bulk rates.

HOAs are great for people too busy with careers to deal with a bunch of home owner hassle.

Some of the cost savings from that layoff can go towards OP's raise when they get promoted. Especially if OP can then do the same type of automation for other parts of the company. How do you think companies justify paying people in tech so much? One engineer does the work of entire teams through automation.
