@d1 I'm closer to IAD than Rosslyn, but that's a good tip.

The bus goes from IAD to Rosslyn and then from there, you can catch the metro to anywhere in DC

IAD is going to be rough for the next year or so while they connect the metro rail. TSA precheck will save you a lot of time at Dulles since the regular security physically covers significantly longer distance. I've never spent more than 5 min going through precheck but never spent less than 20 min in the regular line. Otherwise anyone who struggles with Dulles must have issues following very large, clear, concise signage.

I'll have to look it up...

Hey, bcgers, I live in nova because my company's HQ is here. Otherwise, I agree, it's just for international flights.

@OP - Uber is starting to not pick people up from there if they live too close to the airport. Kind of sucks, so I'd recommend parking.

@k1 I've had that problem once. It's against their usage agreement. Is there a cab line?

@OP - I usually come in pretty late and try to uber or drive, so I'm not sure about the cab lines. Probably aren't too bad or busy though!

Never had an issue getting a cab.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

I know this sounds weird, but I think my fiancé has my tech tapped… I journal and write short stories that I’ve used as an outlet for years. Way before I met him. Lately, it feels like he repeats things that I’ve written or said over the phone. For example, I’ll tell a friend that I want to visit her in San Diego. Then, he’ll come home and say I should visit my friend in San Diego soon. Am I paranoid or is he really listening? I feel violated and exposed. He doesn’t have a tech background.

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle? I’ll start - I’m an advisor in Wealth Management with TC of $70k, 3 YOE and no side hustle. Among other things, rent just jumped from $2500 to $3700 for 2 bedroom and areas were looking at. I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
