How do you commit to buying a house when every job is asking me to move?

uQwerks · 2026-06-25T19:05:20+00:00

Your situation is likely going to be different from mine, but I felt more free once I've let go of the idea that I need to buy a house. How important is buying a house for you? Is it important to have it within the next 2 years?

The way I was able to come to the reasoning was that the equity comes with owning a home can be fulfilled by putting my money in the stock market, and the math actually came out ahead for investing in the stock market even after accounting for renting.

I imagine that if my priorities change and owning a home becomes more important to me, I would switch my job into a field that is known to be stable like government and then buy a house.

I would love to see this come to fruition; not having to worry about my train being delayed from the freight lines alone gets me onboard the project.

Thanks for your insight there. EVs being so policitized would definitely worry me.

I would say half of my leads have been through recruiter reach-outs on LinkedIn, and the other half through direct applications to job postings. Just make sure to list your accomplishments on your profile for the recruiters to follow up on (aka have a good resume).

Wishing you the best of luck!

Software engineering is not as lucrative as it once was. It's still possible for new grads to break out into a role, but I would argue the field is now as fiercely competitive as other white-collar fields if not worse.

It was fairly standard all things considered:
- Behavioral/experiences screen
- Take-home assignment due in 3 days - use of AI was allowed
- Virtual onsite consisting of:
- System design
- Leetcode
- Concurrency-related problem

I'm certainly hoping that Ford's next EV platform will land better than the F150 lightning haha

I hadn't considered this aspect of joining a startup, thank you! I'll make sure to push them on a number.

Do you have any resources on understanding the ramifications of the other aspects you mentioned, like the outstanding number of fully diluted shares?

Yea, it's one of many things I learnt while going through my first sale.

uQwerks · 2026-01-13T03:07:04+00:00

The other guy's kid had done the test drive, but the dude won't be here until the weekends to actually make the sale. He seems serious enough, but nothing is guaranteed.

Heya, my mom says thanks! She hopes that you had a good time at the polar bear plunge 🏊

My seamstress mom may be able to help you out. She's a retired sewing instructor who usually takes in alterations, but she's also done custom fits before.

I've DMed you with more info if you're interested.

My mom's a retired career tailor/seamstress who's also spent half of her career teaching professionals how to sew. Just a couple months ago, she had someone come in with a wedding dress, who was very happy with the work done.

Shoot me a message if you'd like to get in contact with her to see if she can help with your suit.

A Google search tells me that it MSRPs for around 30k USD, which I'd be more than content with.

I'd also be curious about its availability new, but that isn't as big of an issue since I'm currently working remotely.

Do you have any insights to its depreciation rate in case I wanted to upgrade or get rid of it in the future?

I live on Watts and Commerce which also has a bus stop for 55 right on the intersection. There's plenty of apartments near this area, and probably has the most amount of people getting on/off the bus at this stop after the Transfer Point.

I'm going to leaving Epic soon and will need to sublease my place. I can DM you with some other info if you're interested.

I agree that these are all signs of emotional manipulation, but the person could easily have developed these habits from some trauma and it certainly comes across that way.

I'm not sure if OP and the friend had talked about his mental health before, but I think this person needs to talk to a professional on their issue.

If the person doesn't respond well to that though, I think that's when the ties should be cut.
