I'll guess it avarages out to roughly 3-4 hours on weekdays and 10-20 over a weekend. I also love longform journalism, which can eat up a few hours per week.
I do little in general haha :/ My own reclusiveness combined with a relatively severe mental illness have kept me inside my apartment around 23/7 for years. I'm self-employed and try to hit 10-20 hours/week of work. Aside from that, my free time is endless and basically consists of reading, Netflix, and browsing the web with my two cats!
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - a creative and compelling deviation from typical true crime storytelling.
The author and the narrator do a brilliant job at really transporting you into Savannah, Georgia (I'm not even a fan of the city, but I nevertheless was totally consumed by the fascinating characters, society, and atmosphere).
This is pretty unrelated, but your post reminded me of the frustration I experienced during the housing crash.
I bought my condo in 2006, essentially at the peak of the market - then was out of work for long time during the recession and had to go through foreclosure.
During that time, I watched as the government sprung into action with those sweet incentives to stimulate people to buy real estate (e.g. the $8,000 Homebuyer Tax Credit!).
I understand it, but it just rankled me to be on the losing end of time!
Interestingly enough, the higher priced homes are the only ones somewhat holding up. "Sales below $500,000 dropped 21 percent on a year-over-year basis, while deals of $500,000 or more fell about 3 percent, marking the first annual decline for that price category in nearly two years,” said LePage. “Home sales of $1 million or more last month rose just a tad – less than 1 percent – from a year earlier following annual gains of between 5 percent and 21 percent over the prior year.”
Thanks for sharing your experience and articulating this so well.
I have been on the same dose of Ambien for nearly 2 years. I'm fortunate that it does its job with zero side effects. The negative experiences and feedback in this thread are overwhelming - if I were unfamiliar with it, I would be freaked out!
It's generally accepted that Ambien's benefits outweigh the costs. I don't mean to downplay the negative experiences, but it's not as bad as this article/thread infer. Ultimately, it's something to discuss with a GP or Psychiatrist.
Some companies effectivdely use whiteboarding, others don't.
This is a true snapshot of the absurd sense of entitlement among some tech workers these days. When the bubble eventually pops, people will look back at this website promotion with awe.
It's like challenging the generally accepted standard that interviewees dress up a bit more formally than a typical day at the office (i.e. button down versus old T-shirt).
I discuss the compensation range before the interview process begins (i.e. their resume preparation) only with candidates responding with interest to my initial contact. I make a leap in faith by sharing the company/job details in the first contact, and having been screwed over by doing this, I feel it's fair to hold off at presenting compensation details to literally every person I contact. After all of my hard work, all they need to do is take one second and respond with "looks interesting, but could they match or exceed $XYZ range?"
If they're interested and have not brought up numbers, I'll ask them to provide their expectations first and I appreciate when they do. If they don't, I'm happy to give them a broad range to see if they're at least in the same ballpark.
As an agency recruiter, I serve the employer. If I tell everyone that a job will pay $150K - $200K, far too many people will respond with "yeah, my expectation is around $200K." It's not fair to the CTO/VP Engineering.
I don't believe there's a right answer, but I'm trying to find that middle ground that serves everyone best.
Much of the world prefers riding the bubble to FOMO. The frothier it gets, the less need for and meaning held by useful indicators. It's human nature :/
I agree, but will go further to claim that the entire interview was horrible. So little information was conveyed in soo many words. He either had nothing to say, couldn't articulate what he had to say, or both.
