How to get Id card.I am being boarded virtually!
What should my requested salary be for a Senior Intelligence Analyst position with CrowdStrike ? I have a bachelors degree and 5 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. Current salary is 56k in NC, but when I was in DC I was making 86k (big locality change)… which makes me confused on what I should expect for a remote job.

Never known anything different. Didn’t grow up here but never owned a home and never expected to. Circumstances changed and saved enough to buy a place. It’s completely overpriced for what it is, but it’s mine and I love it. Guess to your point it’s all about expectations. I had none.
When I bought in Seattle, I was also coming from a lower-cost area, so it was a tough adjustment. I had to settle for a smaller space in a less ideal neighborhood, but I focused on the long-term benefits, like the potential equity growth. It wasn’t easy, but it felt more manageable once I accepted that compromise was part of the process.

Yeah I know what you mean. It’a a lot of lowering of expectations.
