Currently in a long distance relationship, and this year me and my future fiancé are looking for a place to settle down. I’m in the west coast and she’s in the east coast. The most logical option is to move back to NYC but I’m not too excited about the work culture, weather, and work opportunity in tech. CA also has terrible housing options for my price range and ranks low in education. Is it worth it to sacrifice education and housing for better career prospects and better weather?

We want to have kids in 5 years

It depends on what you want.

You have an entire nation to choose from. NYC, CA, TX, Chicago, Seattle, Denver, etc, etc, etc. You can even move to Puerto Rico, work remote, and learn Spanish.

I mean, I'm joking, but the options really can be broad.

That being said, I'd probably check into Denver CO, or TX, as both have strong economies, relatively low costs of living, and are still in a growing phase.

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke

You can still move when you have children - I would say try it out in one of your cities and see where that takes you. More important to be settled by around middle school / high school, so you’ve got time.

Hi all,
Need an advice. I am confused between doing masters or learn tech stack and increase experience and salary.
*My primary goal is to earn more.*
If masters I have to do in US or UK, so GRE, GMAT.
If for learning and tech experience I can learn tech stacks.
But I am confused between this.
Could you please tell or suggest what would be a better choice? Is doing masters in US or UK is a better ROI or be in India and gain exp and earn more by switching?
Currently I am a Java developer.
TIA

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

I grew up listening to country music. While it wasn’t the only thing I listened to, it was a plurality. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve slowly started to realize how much is stinks. Don’t get me wrong there is some stuff i like, but generally it’s just garbage. It’s just a bunch of repeating tropes,and twang. Can’t decide if I feel this way because I’ve changed, it has gotten worse, I now associate it with Trumpism, or it’s really always been this bad.
