Well, we should talk.
I currently live in Ireland for the last 18 months and I am now moving to another European city because it was more expensive to live in Dublin than in SF (I transferred from SF in 2017). I took a 50% pay cut to move here and can’t afford to live alone as a Senior Manager, where I could afford to live alone as a Manager in SF. Now I’m moving away from Ireland and I’ll be backup to the standard I was accustomed to.
I cannot tell you to move here or not we all have different priorities. But I can share with you what I love, and why the negatives (mostly public transportation and financial) outweighed the positives for me.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Hello Fishes,

YOE : 4

Offers:
1. Synopsys(17L + 2L VP + 3L JB + RSU - 10K USD)
2. MAQ : 15L

After browsing this portal, got to know Synopsys is paying good for this role. Any suggestions?

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.
