You can do this with (the awesome) Citi 2% cash back card as well, just use their normal website to generate virtual numbers.

How long have you been working? You should expect big raises as you climb up your first 4-6 years but I don't think this advice holds generally.

The point is that if you leave too early you don't get to feel the weight of your earlier choices, therefore you don't really learn from your mistakes.

Exactly. Managers do what is best for them most of the time, not what is best for the company. (Hey, just like normal employees! We're all people, after all.)

5% CoL is insulting when CoL goes up less than that? Maybe what you mean is that raises when you are promoted are not high enough? During your first 5 years or so you'll probably get good raises as you gain experience and increase the

Amazing that 4 years at one place is A Long Time now. I've also seem this sort of market matching stuff at my BigCorp in the Midwest, I've been at my company 10+ years now, and would need to take a paycut to leave basically anywhe

YouTube videos do this sometimes. I've seen it in the StarCraft space.

The problem isn't the tax rate, it's the growing wealth inequality. Since you seem to have thought much about this already - do you agree it's a problem, and how would you fix it, if not for progressive taxation?

A 400k home in a ~80k salary, thats 5x what you make. I make 150k and live in a 300k home in the midwest. I do like the privacy of my area (you'd call it "car culture" for sure), so tradeoffs, I guess.

> including stock appreciation Wait, what? So if I take my non mega-corp salary, and buy Google stock, and it appreciates, I can tell people I make more money than I actually do?

You can get the 5 bedroom house 15 minutes away from a decent city, 15 minutes away from work, in most states, and not miss out on much from the SV "lifestyle". I think the only thing I miss out on by not working in SV is working

A business that doesn't have brick and mortar shops in high cost locations? All internet businesses?

Totally agree. This guy has his money where his mouth is. That's who I'd prefer to get information from.

This is how it works in normal software companies too. I never see the credentials for my employees.

Yeah, this is funny, but a bad idea. You getting on somebody elses workstation, under their login - what happens if they are doing bad shit to the company? Now you have to explain why you were seen on their workstation.

I work in a software company in the midwest, we've had private offices for the last 10 years.

No, you're not paranoid, I would think it was self indulgent if I got a letter like this from someone I hadn't seen in a long time.

Agile has a concept called the cone of uncertainty. The way we use this concept in practice is by doing small chunks and delivering fast, and the more chunks we have done with a project/feature/whatever the more likely our estimat

A physical notepad is pretty easy to forget or lose.

Interesting idea, how does one do this? Make friends locally, save a ton of money (in case you can't work virtually later on), have entertainment locally (backed up or IRL), what else?

The article does say: > that they were exposed for “several months.”
