There is a steady procession of young (5-10 years experience) engineers making their way to a competitor in CO.  One on my team told me she got a 30% raise as a baseline offer.  A friend bought a 3200 sq ft house in a beautiful mountain location on 1/2 acre before her 1st day...for $750k.  I...

I would move to Texas if I couldn't afford to spurge on an extra plant at Home Depot every now and then.

My first thoughts have been mentioned already.  Beautiful views, older (nice) homes, and too far from freeways.  On average lots are a good bit larger than Irvine lots.  I have a couple friends that live there.  Just getting to LAX which is relatively close by takes 45 minutes with no traffic. ...

Call me when the pictures are through the agent's car window from the street, with the side mirror blocking a third of the shot.

Don't forget the "unlimited" part.  That's the bigger WTF here.

Net worth is up 32% since July 2019.  I don't include physical possessions plus my investment style is conservative.

That's what she said!

Is it possible to run high inflation and low interest rates for sustained periods?  Will house prices keep up with inflation if mortgage rates are 6% and increasing?  God help us. 

Man am I late to this thread, but posting stuff like this just blows the credibility of the entire rant.  Don't see these in the topics listed.  Sex ed at 11/12 was the norm when I was growing up.  Glad the courses have evolved now to cover many things that were unknown, ignored or...

Yes, there's no better way to instill confidence in a government's fiat currency than to enforce limits on how it's spent.    :o      ???

I love that even Zillow doesn't even try to adjust their estimate to meet the asking price on that 1. 

I have already uploaded a pic of my covid vax card to my workplace database.

I've been involved with an outsourcing project.  We had a contract with a programing shop in India.  Our project manager and his right hand man were both from India.  The entire thing was a shitshow.  For their part, the overseas workers were wonderful.  So eager to please, willing to put in...

No more stupid than the market itself, IMO.  I wouldn't do it, but then I guess I don't want it bad enough and would live with not having my offers accepted.

So many factors.  Wage inflation or not, WFH effects, mortgage rates are top 3 I think. 

Way to mess up the comps.

They should have had their genius children proof-read the listing for them.  As an adult I can't believe how much time I wasted perfecting my English skills, thinking it was some kind of prerequisite for success as an adult.

I can't imagine having to learn the ropes of my business remotely.  It's just too difficult.  Likewise, my effectiveness as a seasoned mentor is blunted.  Too many nuances that can't be communicated effectively with a screen share.  And sometimes the only way to get someone to stop ignoring...

My co was pretty flexible to begin with.  I have a coworker who was working remote from Seattle since before the pandemic.  I have another who will be moving to AZ in July.  I haven't looked into it, but I assume they're able to avoid paying CA taxes.  I am both on site and remote, depending on...
