I finally logged into my brokerage accounts after a few years. And it has been an abysmal investment strategy. We have 11% growth, with many many stocks in the red (fucking DocuSign, Tesla, for instance). 2055 retirement plan has done decently in the 401k, fortunately. How has others' experience b...Read more
As of today, at $171B net worth, ahead of Musk and trailing just Bezos (#2) and Arnault (#1).
Even as a girl! I thought girls (in general) have an easier time on dating apps (and we do, in terms of getting matches and hookups) — but not if you are looking for someone to get married to. Apart from the usual weirdos, you have: Guys caring about “caste”, even while living in the U.S. 😭 Guys...Read more
I finally got budget to add another team member to my team who were struggling with workloads. Among other criteria, starting date was very crucial in my decision because of new project that will add even more workload to the team. Most qualified candidate was available after a month, and the first ...Read more

Recently relocated to the Bay Area and was surprised to see how skinny and weak most of my colleagues are. I am not insulting but genuinely curious about the mindset behind not working out. There is a nice (Amazon Sunnyvale) gym that is free and very few people use it. Those who do, dont seem to kn...Read more
Hey all, Few months ago I made a post about being laid off from Block when only two years before that I had 11 offers. Finished my interviews and landed 5 offers! The things that changed from last time I interviewed: - Interviews are most definitely harder to pass. This isn’t because the intervi...Read more
Is this the future? Looks like the oldest and the largest party of the country is proposing a financial survey. They will survey how much each family has, and then distribute all that wealth to everyone in the country. Are we idiots? We studied so much. Worked so hard. Paid taxes (just 3% of Indi...Read more

Pro Palestine/Hamas, less sympathy for Israel victims and hostages. Pro black people while discriminating against whites and Asians. Pro communist, hating capitalism.
Got pipped from Amazon recently and started working on personal projects and deploying them to the public (setting up the whole thing on my own) I just realized how dumb I was when I was working for Amazon. Like literally 0 knowledge apart from some dumb optimizations or troubleshooting bullshit. I ...Read more
I just don’t understand them. Why do married guys not care enough about their wife and kids and seek extramarital affairs? Men here are complaining that they want to marry someone with 0 or low body count, and then after marrying someone with that (who likely doesn’t have a high drive) these same m...Read more
Anyone else hate the fact these people are making it all worse for us in terms of WLB? I hope we can come together as citizens to stop this before it gets much worse

Apparently Dave Ramsey advises against overfunding 529 because college bubble will burst and they'll have to "come home to roost". He advises no more than $20k in 529. But he's been saying a lot of silly things lately - cognitive decline due to age, perhaps? Personally, I'd rather overfund than un...Read more
I just went under contract in a house in Seattle area. I got super lucky and assumed a loan with 2.375% . The payment will be around $2.3k/month. The location is great. I am just worried about the housing market crashing 50% and then I am under water. On the flip side I can’t get an apartment for ...Read more
