The only way to compare them are to exhaustively enumerate benefits, taxes, costs, and risks of costs beyond the salary number. Comparing these numbers across countries would allow for a more apples-to-apples comparison.
The one when Guy Kawasaki was totally blitz in The Wine Room on Romana St asked me this. I regurgitated some stupid joke a woman told me the day before.
Anecdotally, I'm aggressive because I'm French and Irish. ;) Doom and Quake didn't change that. Never was in a fight in school (I was too big and quick for anyone to chance it).
Aggressive behavior I believe comes from parental issues, antisocial/criminal personality, lack of self-control, lack of chill, insecurities, and/or emotional regulation issues.
My (42y) sleep has been terrible since age 19. Sleep phase issues, obstructive sleep apnea, and now not sleeping long enough, possibly related to acid reflux / hiatal hernia. I need to get an updated CPAP.
Already take a multivitamin, b complex, and 5k IU D3 and 250 IU K2 MK7.
Changed diet to cut weight by 40 lbs in 3 months by budgeting macros to 1500 cal/day (43% protein, 21% carbs, 36% fats).
I exercise in the morning (best time to improve sleep). I walk fast to stores some distance away and do weightlifting.
Fast caffeine metabolizer but it's bad for my stomach and anxiety levels. caffeine might be neuroprotective and boost workout performance, and coffee hepatoprotective, but it's not worth the other issues it creates.
Well, consider the Simpsons' comic book guy: high-IQ but essentially unproductive. He represents that smart-weirdo stereotype.
In terms of envy and anti-intellectualism, it's convenient to lump most tech people, including productive ones, into the smart-weirdo stereotype.
Furthermore, someone is also a "weirdo" if they have a lifestyle that differs significantly from an acceptable "normal" range of allowed configurations.
I ditched Linode years ago because it just wasn't that great. AWS if I need ephemeral boxes (I used to be an enterprise on-prem AWS consultant), but I run most everything on a home 96 EPYC core, 512 GB, SSD, HDD (ZFS) box running KVM, Docker, and open vswitch. It just isn't worth it to rent slow, expensive servers when I need lots of them and to be fast. I don't have any problems remoting into them with ddns and wireguard.
Virgin, if they get investment, strategy, and ambition. In Heathrow, they said more than "hello" to and knew so many vendors and regular workers, and even showed me how to find flights across carriers on their terminal. They were so phreak'n cool.
Yes, it was basic. And self-esteem head-pats don't do much for me except arouse a feeling of being patronized and raise suspicions.
All-in-all, this doesn't seem to do the clients justice if they don't throughly test to see what prospective candidates are made of by pushing their real-world problem-solving abilities, intuition, knowledge, and expertise.
My conclusion is to dissuade the use of TB as a candidate or as a hiring manager.
Attention Comrade Students: You must chose the correct major to make the most money in order to give the most taxes to the glorious empire's military-industrial complex! To not do so would be unAmerican!
The problem is nearly all white-collar people in the SF Bay Area are stingy and blind to the plights of anyone else besides themselves. If this weren't the case, there wouldn't be so many homeless people living on freeway on-ramp embankments.
Case in point: I remember a hackerspace had a large winter food donation barrel that was sitting out for weeks returned with 1 can in it. 1. One. That says "F U" to hungry people.
Also consider how many churches in the SF Bay Area don't do meaningful community outreach and just show up on Sundays.
I just hope none of the comfortable and privileged ever end up poor and hungry, because they'd be in for a shock.
