Let me know what other thing ppl are doing to drive engagement ?

Dieting- does anyone else do bouillon to trick the brain? Sometimes only something that ‘tastes’ like meat can satisfy. Put a Maggi chicken cube with a Knorr onion cube and nuke for 5 min- delish.

Currently staying in Hoboken NJ. My rent isn’t high but the apartment is old and don’t really have a lot of friends. With COVID and most of our future being WFH. Am considering moving to a low COL area.
Any suggestions , with a lot of 25-30 year olds around.
Hopefully, I can find a good apartment, don’t mind renting something with a backyard.
Would definitely like a place with better weather. Pretty much open to anywhere in the US.

Macro tracking & body building experts - what should my macros & calorie count be if I want to lost 10-15 lbs? I'm 142 (due to stress and hormonal changes).

Used to be around 23 BMI and 18% fat pre-pandemic in 2019.

Front end people, why?????

Been working at my company as a new grad for almost a year, but don’t see myself in the team that I am in (working with Salesforce) for long term. Interested in frontend dev and have been learning on my own. Manager says chase doesnt have much React opportunities. Is it possible to make a switch when I barely have experience? Are there companies that will hire by seeing that I am willing to learn and am interested in frontend even tho I don’t have much experience with it yet?

I’m seriously enatkng to get into an SE role and have been searching for Associate Sales Engineers that do NOT require SE experience since I’ve none. It’s proving to be difficult.

I am in tech as a BDR already.

Reading posts here it seems as engineers in the US get's atleast $100k, people with 4-5 YOE in SWE seems to have ~$250K. Working in Sweden my base pay is $50k, bonus per year of $5k and I usually have to work overtime making my salary in total at a maximum $70k. I have 4 YOE and also work as SWE. Sweden has a insanely high tax rate (employee tax is 33% below 56k, 50% over $56k). There's also employers tax, and highly taxed fuels, food, clothes, which ends up in total paying around in 80% tax.
