I have a mortgage but purely from the fact that my local market (Copenhagen) is weird as heck. as in buying an apartment ended up costing me roughly 2/3rds what renting would monthly.

I used to live in an apartment under people who I assume are actually insane (we asked them to use their own garbage bin and they glued the lid of ours shut and then started sending fake letters based on bad social media info trying to pretend Mrs.MononcQc was cheating on me to break us up) and now we bought a house and it is hella peaceful so I would not look back at all. also renting if you want pets is an exercise in continuous frustration.

Might as well XP this from CJs? So, Milwaukee is lovely and terrible. Chicago is also lovely and terrible but it’s bigger. So how would I go about getting an (IT) job in Chicago, ideally some combination of remote and maybe taking the train down once or twice a week? I’ve literally never worked outside of 414/262 and have no friends in Chicago. I have no idea.

you find the remote-friendly jobs and apply to them. use the internet since you don’t have contacts that can give you the hookup also look at remote job websites because full remote doesn’t have much to do with location were you expecting like a konami code?

CJs is too busy complaining about the cold/bitching at Shaggs/explaining how Pittsburgh is actually part of the Ohio Riparian Cultural Zone rather than the Midwest (truth be told that last one is really just me saying it).

I'd take a competent soulless property management company over a lazy incompetent landlord who expects you to give them slack because they are polite in person.

my soulless property management company even voluntarily sent a letter out saying that federal government workers wouldn't be charged late fees or considered in arrears until a month after the shutdown ended, which surprised me

lol just did a phone screen where question 1 was typical prime number stuff and at the very end of the interview dude is like "by the way, there is a thing called a sieve of eratosthones which lets you quickly find many primes up to a given limit" and links his own github with his personal example solution like dude i'm not gonna bust out a sieve for the first half of a 45 minute tech phone screen

raminasi posted:cobra coverage is retroactive to your qualifying event yep you can go up to 90 days (I think? double check that, might be 60) without signing up and it’s retroactive to the date you otherwise lost insurance. you have to pay premiums for the backfilled period tho

it’s 60 days, i was JUST looking this up bc I will start newjob on March 18 and will probably have feb 22 be my last day at oldjob. from everything I can tell, our family can go uninsured for that period and then get COBRA if something happens where we would’ve used the insurance and it’ll be applied retroactively (and so paid for). you only get a tax penalty for >90 day lapse. if my plan is a terrible idea, please someone tell me

what happens at the practicioner's office then, do i just give them my old insurance info and it all Works Out somehow once I've paid the cobra premium? i was intending to just minimize visits as much as i can but I have HRT and cancer-check thyroid ultrasound and poo poo to keep on top of and I don't want to delay those for long--forgetting the potential emergencies i'm busily and unnecessarily panicking about

If you're remote in one of the countries we already have an office in (or pretty much anywhere in Europe), it's fair game.

Well now. So I'm an Interdisciplinary Systems Engineer in Boston who does mostly Computer Eng/Electronics stuff. Considering expanding my breadth into cloud architecture. Alternatively I've got a chance to take on some more technical Program Management stuff. I'm not bad at it. Is there a noticeable difference in available opportunities or $$$ with either? They both seem like a step up from where I am now.
