Yeah. I've been working in silicon Valley since 2009. I've worked everywhere from startups to Facebook. I was laid off a year ago. I did 25 applications a week for 6 months with 0 interviews or call backs. This was all stuff I have industry experience at and fantastic references for. Even the contract companies I worked with haven't been able to find me anything outside of IT roles that require 24/7 on call paying $25/hr. I was making that in 2010. The job market for tech is nonexistent.
Yeah. My wife and I bounced from the US 2 years ago. We cashed out our 401ks at the start of this year and bought a house. We're currently in the nightmare stage of remodeling where everything is twice as expensive as expected and takes 4 times as long as we were told. Outside of everything currently being hell, we feel it was the best decision we could have made.
Paradigm speakers always had the best sound per dollar in my book. I've had my 7.1 set up using their speakers for a decade and they still sound amazing. Frequently their dealers will have a backroom with discounted stock. Scratch and dent, and good shit rich people decided to replace. You'll find amazing deals there.
I contracted at plex for 6 months. The employees really care. The developers were very concerned with making the absolute best media server possible. The QA team was doing crazy stuff to try to keep everything working.
Fun story time: I once got informed of a drug test for a job I'd just accepted after a weekend of hard partying. I was on prescription opiods, Adderall, and ketamine. They called Monday morning at 9 to tell me I had to piss within 4 hours. I hadn't even slept yet. I should have lit that test up like a Christmas tree for everything except thc. It came back clean. They never asked about my prescriptions. I have 2 theories. 1) they don't actually test. 2) if too many things light up, they assume it's a calibration issue.
Oh look, it's me. Except I've put in 600 applications in 6 months without a single response. 15 years as a Devops engineer at fortune 100 companies, and can't make it to round one.
Find a few sheets of stickers that you like. Every time you do something thats hard, write it down and give yourself a sticker. Then when you're having a bad day, you can look at the list of shit you've accomplished, and the awesome stickers you've earned.
They allow up to 5 allergies/dislikes. The difference is cost. By putting together 3 meals with one set of ingredients, it really helps cut the cost of food down.
