Hello everyone.
I love sales but have you notice these sales (lately) are way more pricier than regular prices???
I did however notice some software companies having great sales, like Autodesk!
Do you guys shop for your engineering needs on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

I've seen the same. Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals used to be awesome Now they don't seem to be better than any other sale throughout the year, so I don't bother waiting around. If I see something I need, I just buy it then and there.

I always get a kick out of checking out sales and this year the Black Friday stuff honestly doesn't impress me. I don't know if it's just me, but it really looks like the prices on a lot of stuff really didn't move all that much. I guess a lot of it was always hype, I remember people would camp out by Best Buy to get a computer made of nearly outdated parts. Still, this year doesn't seem very inspiring at all.

I feel like the biggest discount I saw was like 15%. Which is barely a discount at all, to be honest. I ended up saving my money because I didn't find anything that was appealing enough to part with my hard-earned cash.

Totally agree, and funny part is that it may have been 15% off of the already blown up price!

Important to check the price history of products where you can, usually big companies like auto desk are fine but lots of products do the “hike the price and then mark down” to go back to the original price anyways

Yes, that is totally fair, specially with all the tariffs going on prices are pretty high lately

Luckily all my licenses are provided by my employer, but I hear licenses have gotten more expensive over the years…

I'm an engineer, and I feel like my manager is more of a friend than anything else. We talk about our personal lives, and I feel like it's hard to be completely honest with her when she's so casual with me. I don't want to lose our friendship, but I also need to be able to talk honestly with someone who has the power to help me grow professionally. Is there a way to have both?
