Always Be Looking.

Honestly, early on, I wasn't reliably finding them. But that lasted maybe 6 months?

If I have a 6mo contract for example, I'm still applying for a couple jobs every week. I'm keeping in touch with recruiters that don't suck at their job and building rapport with them. I'm pinging prior coworkers and just seeing who/what they know is available.

Obviously, soft skills and resume matter too. I have enough buzzy technologies under my belt that it increases the breadth of jobs I can apply for, which helps.

Yeah, it was rough at first, but not like...I was destitute by any means. And now with enough of a network built up I'm relatively confident that even if shit hit the fan, I could find a job inside of 2 weeks.

If you're in the US (or I guess anywhere?) - just make sure to account for taxes...

About 2hrs per job.

Is that the same as skin cancer?

Help friends & family. Donate to community assistance programs. Donate to other causes. Buy people nice gifts.

I can't see white and gold no matter what, I am ever-so-slightly color blind (supposedly) so maybe that's part of it?

Maybe it's regional, but Instacart use in my area straight up says which stores are priced the same or which are priced at a premium when you click on it. It isn't hidden at all.

MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online (game)

You do you. $3500 is hard to argue with. Other person is just jealous.

I miss Superstore :(

You sound like me. I'm diagnosed autistic (mildly), I'm a software engineer, I'm introverted, I'm definitely liberal leaning, and...I live in Oregon.

For now, I love it here (except Portland proper). So many great restaurants, bars, breweries, wineries, and a crap ton of trails and other parks and sights and sounds.

I live semi-rural and half the businesses here have pride flags and BLM signage. I'm non-white, but don't feel unsafe walking around where I am at night. My tech contract jobs are remote and I make more than enough to live comfortably.

It rains a lot here... though less so these days it seems. It's weird how many 100+ degree days we get now, but it's still a lot less than other people I know.

I'm rambling. If you want to know more, just ask.

I'm open to the idea.

Sorry, dumb question, what's GOG?

Super weird, still haven't seen an ad in Sync and don't use any sort of ad blockers or anything. Is it regional maybe?
