Compensation is not bad since the recruiters are so desperate to fill their jobs asap that you can ask for the world without any attention to internal compression.
It’s a dog eat dog world now. No longer is Gap the company that values or supports family or cares about employee engagement, loyalty or tenure. You move up by who you know and how you look. Forget about diversity in the workplace. That’s all lip service. If you’re white and tall, this place is perfect for you.
Finally after 12 years of visas, I got my green card yesterday. At this moment I want to take a break from work for a month or 2 and not do anything.. However I am not sure if this small break of a month or two will be considered as risky if I decide to buy a house? ( before I plan to buy a house I...Read more
Like most nerds in the Bay Area, i used to shop for clothes at Gap or Target. Although those clothes are good, i want to start wearing more fashionable clothes. Men with fashion sense - Where do you buy clothes?
Sigh.. Both gapped up so many times. Should I buy tomorrow? TC: $220k
How come people are still crazily buying homes at these interest rates. 5.5% has been the highest in a decade. You got to be really another level where even now you are waiving inspection, doing a 50k appraisal gap and still overbidding way over asking. I understand when interest rates are low it i...Read more
The gap between rent and mortgage is wider than ever before. Which is abnormal unsustainable pattern. House price growth can be flat but will never come down. The only way this abnormal can dissolve is rent shoots up. To hedge I would buy a home sooner than later, as opposed to wishing home price co...Read more
There are lots openings on the buying/planning side. I feel like this is once in a decade opportunity to jump on. There will be crazy growth, something Gap no longer has. I missed the boat with tech but given my buying/planing experience with Gap, maybe the cannabis industry is where I can find ...Read more

Any suggestions on which insurance to buy for time period when you are not employed? There is a 5 day gap between my last date at Amazon and start date at another company.
What would you prefer? In MCOL you could buy a big house. Bay Area taxes are higher. Bay Area the compensation seems to be more that can grow with stock appreciation. There is a big pay gap between the two but which one would you prefer? #tech
Been wanting to buy a home for years… hubby wanted to wait till we got our big pay day. We got that pay day but it literally means nothing when it comes to this housing market. We just started and it’s just nuts. I don’t understand why anyone would waive appraisal gap… it doesn’t make sense. You sho...Read more

Buy and hold broad market index funds to achieve 7-10% return in the long run. Is this the way? Or take concentrated risk on a few high conviction stocks? I don’t see how one can close wealth gap without taking more risk early on. #personalfinance #investments
I’m making peanuts, I don’t have the luxury to buy it. To make my question more clear, I know it gets mixed reviews and it is not worth the money , but It almost feels like $3500 (before tax) is nothing for people who got it. If it was $35, I might get one to give it a try. So I feel the gap and wo...Read more

How do you handle health insurance coverage while changing jobs? Leaving current job on Friday and starting a new one on Monday. The coverage gap is only for the weekend. Do people buy extra insurance for the weekend? Appreciate your suggestions. TC - 330k #insurance #health #medical #jobchange
I'm already pre-approved and I'm actively looking for a house and would like to buy soon. I'm also actively interviewing with some companies right now. Would changing jobs with no gap cause any issues with the lenders while the house is being closed on?
From Seattle. I saw the months when the price kept rising and so did interest rates. Some homes we really liked, but were outbid on almost every front. One thing we were sure of, never to compromise, if we were going to get a home, it would be the one we loved. With time, we realized it quicker. Few...Read more
