100% my personal preference, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a Tesla, can't stand them at all.

If you're dead set on going electric, there are far more enticing prospects coming down the pipe in the next year or two than a Tesla, in my opinion.

Once you’ve driven a Tesla, it’s hard to go back to any other car. This is the car of the future.

Buy a land cruiser 70 series. You'll survive a drone strike from God in that vehicle.

Ordered a Tesla model Y 4 months ago and just took the delivery. The good thing about Tesla is if you have buyers remorse, vroom / caravana will buy you out for a premium. I checked and they were offering 3k over the OTD price I paid. But I am keeping the car. 😀

Teslas are a flex. Do you need transportation or an ego boost?

This being fishbowl, maybe I shouldn't ask.

What does the soul say? Buy a Lexus! You can be cool, have some luxury and also get reliability. The ES 350 is a great vehicle for midrange sedan!

All depends on what you can afford, what you want out of a car, and how long you think you’ll keep it.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

Hi folks, good day.
I have experience of 4.5 years, mostly in .NET / C#.
I have decent knowledge on Java and a bit of Spring boot.
I am currently employed in a service based organisation.
I want to shift to a product based organisation for better quality work and obviously better pay.

How much time will it take to make this shift? And what do I need to study for it?
If someone has had a transition from a service based organisation to a product one, how did you achieve it?

Thanks in advance.
