So I got a real estate license so I can help my family/friends and eventually myself buy/sell houses, so I kinda have a part time business while I work full time as a software engineer. Since I have a business Instagram, I wanted to make sure my manager doesn’t see it, so I was curious as to if I can even find my manager on Instagram. Well, I found it!!! And guess what??? MY MANAGER HAS THEIR OWN REAL ESTATE BUSINESS. A quick search on CA DRE shows that my manager has a California real estate license and that my manager does their own property design and development. Does this mean I am safe if my manager finds out that I have my own side business? I know my manager’s broker. It would be funny to hook my license with that broker as well. Lol. Just a funny story for you guys! 😅
🥱 TC or GTFO
Why would it matter? Surely you can have 2 jobs
I think OP is worried cause Apple says you can’t be employed elsewhere but I think Apple really means in anything competition so it should be fine
It would only really matter if the real estate thing is going to interfere with the FT job. If you are showing houses on the weekend who cares
The story gets more juicy, the more I dig into it. But I am afraid of exposing myself or my manager on here lol
Yeah that would be ideal. My manager has experience building and designing for scratch from looking at their real estate portfolio. I see they bought land in 2016 and a property under their name (title search) shows the construction site. My manager is super knowledgeable on building from bare land in the Bay Area. I want to partner with them on an investment property lol. But that would be such a weird conversation if I hint anything in I it 1:1s lolz.
Tread carefully here
HR typically requires you do no other work as long as it doesn’t interfere with Apple. In this case it doesn’t. Both you and your manager are OK.
How bad has the economy got to that software engineers and managers at Apple need two jobs to survive now.
Dude my manager is rich. Like really rich.. like probably 25M in NW. this is an approximate from my diggings. Idk why my manager still works at Apple. I am in realestate to help my people save money lol. It’s kinda fun for me but at the same time I don’t want to get in trouble
Wait how exactly did you come to 25M?
Doesn’t matter. Like half my team have real estate license. Saves you money when buying property as you can be your own agent.
Doesn't make sense...buyers don't pay commissions. Helps if you are selling, though.
Does make sense. Buyer agent gets 2.5%. If you are your own agent, usually you just pay broker for 0.5% and you get back 2%. This is not the same thing as you are using seller agent as buyer agent as well.
I can't deal with 24 year old kids gossip here. Get enough of it at work growup and don't worry about your managers secret. Get a life,move away from screens, go out, get done fresh air, etc
Ok boomer
@SmartNews OP is just trying to understand what they are doing is “legal” considering their manager is doing the same. Stop with the hate
Can I DM you to help/advise yo me buy a new place? I feel I trust a SWE more who knows what he/her/they are doing than a full time real estate agent but I might be wrong 🤷🏽♂️
perfect use of meme
Honestly. Truly flawless meme application.
