I bought a smaller house than I could afford in 2018. I could realistically afford around $1.1m but instead bought a $850k house. We just save the rest of the money for investing instead of what would have gone into a mortgage.
Some people are wealthy, some people are frugal, some people are house poor and finance everything is how people afford solar.
I wish Google could just put out a good watch. The first pixel had a really outdated chip and they're not putting the W5+? For the prices google charges you should get the W5+.
It's a bit. Larry King was famous for never preparing and treating every person he interviewed the same. Larry King likely had no idea how low down on the list he was in Hollywood.
This is also done by a company, envoy, that helps companies understand their office data. So it's a bit of a conflict of interest.
The greenhouse recruiting study was more interesting. Attrition goes up and companies had a harder time filling the newly vacated roles compared to companies that didn't force a back to the office.
Personally I think the back the office mandates are a way to do voluntary layoffs without making the execs look bad
The missing piece is salary is way down. With FAANG no longer paying $400K for engineers and hiring at an insane rate, the rest of the industry isn't trying to play catch-up and compete on pay.
I used to work FP&A for a 2nd or 3rd tier tech company and it was hard competing to get engineers to join us. A kid out of college from a decent school for a $100k signing bonus from Facebook. I have since switched to a lower tier company but it has great work life balance, but we've lowered our salary on all open reqs because we know we don't need to compete as aggressively and our average time to fill a role hasn't changed.
My manager asked what I thought about our back to office announcement last month and I said it sounds like voluntary layoffs because if they cared about moral they would compensate us for going back. He laughed and said you're probably right.
Their response isn't very reassuring that they blamed outside lands. They need to get off the streets during a disaster so emergency vehicles can get by but instead it sounds like they will be stuck clogging up roads.
For Trump it's not so much dirt but he got a lot funding after he was a disgraced business man in the 90s that hasn't been sourced. I always thought he got it from Russia leading towards his allegiance to them.
I have never felt more white in my life
