What has the pandemic changed for you?
For me:
1. I don’t need to go to the grocery store every week. I’m okay with every 2-3 weeks.
2. I don’t need a gym. I’ll pay for gym equipment and develop better disciple
3. There is joy in cooking. I cooked before this but I haven’t cooked every single meal for two months straight before this.
4. I don’t need coffee dates with friends
5. My friends (who never did yoga with me) are actually meditating with me. That’s cool.

I actually realized how important it is for me to financially support small local businesses such as restaurants and gyms (mine is a small biz not a chain). But you do you. 😊

It took time tbh haha. But i noticed it got easier to run outside the more I did it. Running in nice areas helps too. I go to rich neighborhoods and look at nice houses as I run.

There’s no point to living in a small apartment close to your office if the office isn’t open and all nightlife and entertainment is closed.

How do you go every 2-3 weeks? What do you do for fresh produce and meat? Do you freeze everything?

I'm working more than I ever have in my life. Usually work don't follow me home but home is my office now and I can't get that mental segregation of what is work and what is home.

On the brighter note, I am planting a garden to relax and make up for lack of vegetables. So far had a very successful harvest of 5 lb of radishes and a bowlful of arugula. Definitely enjoying working on the land and away from Excel and PPT for a bit

Totally delicious! Highly recommended. If you don't have a garden, I heard microgreens are fantastic for indoor growth.

I don’t need coffee. What I needed was a little more sleep.

Living in San Francisco and spending all the money on rent is worth it even in a pandemic, cause being able to walk to all the different neighborhoods feels like going somewhere new and is so refreshing. You get the beach, lush green parks, quiet residential neighborhoods, hippie streets, and sky rises all in one.

My recruiter mentioned during hiring that the TVC payout will be 100% if one joins before September 30th. This was an important factor that helped me decide to join Wells Fargo.

During the induction the HR said that TVC will be pro-rated.

Anyone else had a similar conversation with the recruiter or were you all communicated that the TVC payout will be pro-rated?
