I'm Mexican and have lived here all my 30 years of life on the Northeast side. You and your family will be safe. Cartels avoid messing with foreigners—too much heat. Look up Kiki Camarena. They (Cartels) are never as bad in the eyes of

At least for the Monterrey locations, the economics do not make sense to me. I'm a member of one of the newest locations which, when packed "full," still tops out at 200 people, and in 3 months, I have never seen more than 10

This is it. You can take a lot of risks when you have 4 years of savings from a US-based tech company. I expect a lot of US founders will emerge from working remotely from a LCOL area for a couple of years, and then launching with a war che

I live outside the US, in a the "third-world" country. 75k -> 90k (now) -> 110k. The median salary in my country for a salary-man is 16.5k per year.

Agree 100% with the lack of sleep. One night of bad sleep (4-5 hours) wrecks all my next day. Maximize your health first, before setting goals. Sleep > Nutrition > Exercise, thou they're deeply correlated; try to fix them in that
