Started have this realization/reality sinking in moment where I probably won’t ever get married, have kids and my life won’t turn out how I had planned for it to go at all. I’ve tried talking to a handful of guys and they just want to mess around and not be serious at all. The ones that are serious I honestly can’t date them becuase they seem immature not emotionally but in other ways where they aren’t responsible with finances or don’t really want to work, or can’t manage their day to day (cont

Personal lives. I’m just so exhausted and also so done. I’ve become so jaded with dating. I used to be so sweet and kind and now I don’t even want to go on a date becuase I know what will happen. The guy will either try to sleep with me and then ghost me or he won’t be interested in me at all and just friend zone me.

It's hard out here. Maybe take a break from dating, especially apps. Just meet people organically through your hobbies and/or other friends and enjoy the life you have now. Most people I've met felt like this before and once they kept it out of their mind for a little bit found someone in their circles they got more comfortable with without the doom and gloom of previous dates looming behind them.

I guess you’re right.
But, maybe in modern age some of us aren’t supposed to find a partner.. it is what it is

Maybe. In either case it's in your best interest to make yourself whole before making space for someone else.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
