Unpopular opinion: pre-rain summer weather is the best. Humid, slightly cool and breezy, and the rainy smell. Anyone else agree, or am I crazy?

I live in Houston and so summer rain showers are a godsend. Love the noticeable temp drop outside right before it starts and it usually stays somewhere in the 70s for awhile afterwards

Agree, and you still maybe crazy. Sorry, can’t complete a full psychological exam based merely on this statement.

Strongly disagree, post rain cooling is far superior. The heavy muggy feeling before it rains sucks.

But why is it unpopular?

Latinx - help! We used this term in our diversity spotlight discussing Hispanic Heritage Month. One individual said that in English a group of Latinos would just be Latins to be gender neutral.

It's our own fault that we end up with low salaries. Recruiter, consultancies call and ask for current CTC. And eager candidate just blurts it out. The HR simply puts a 30% markup and releases a statement saying this is Max we can do.
This is the max they can do for your CTC. If someone else comes with higher CTC, their final number will also go up.
Refuse to share current CTC. Tell them to offer you what they can. More people start doing this, only then will things improve.
