Have an unforeseen 2 day layover in Amsterdam post booking tix to Asia (KLM canceled the flight the day off and booked me on one 2 days after). Thinking about turning it into a quick trip. Looking for tips/recommendations/hotels to stay at/ restaurants and fun things to cover within 2 day time as a tourist. Currently looking at The Hilton, AMS to stay at. Thank you in advance!

When I had a layover there I printed out the top 20 winning coffee shops from the latest Cannabis Cup and made my rounds, it was a great way to see the city.

Definitely check out the Van Gogh museum when you’re there.

Anyone ever solo travel for a long period of time after they’ve outgrown social hostels?

Female if that makes a difference.

Joined Blind over a month ago, and what an eye opener it has been. Tech salaries are insane. Even with the recent tech pull back and layoffs, some of the comps are on a whole another level. Friends in tech say, most layoffs have involved non-engineers (sales,HR, Ops,mrktng etc). Dudes in their late 20s pulling in 350k+. Unreal.

And then I look at my TC/bonus and a sense of disappointment washes over me. Short of becoming a partner, I don't think I can pull these numbers that tech bros post up.
