What kinda odd perks do you look for while job hunting? I personally look for company provided in-office lunches, or private working spaces in the office. They are definitely a benefit but not a requirement. Do you have any such perk you prefer?

Retirement match rate above 6% immediately increases my interest in a company or job.

My current company does the full 6%, but I agree with you. I’ve been interviewing off and on since I started working in tech 4 years ago because I believe it’s important to keep those skills sharp. But everywhere I’ve landed interviews have 3-5% matches which are honestly underwhelming. I sometimes see threads on Reddit, Blind, and here of people posting their companies have 10-15% match rates and that floors me haha. I wish I could find one of those unicorns

Hi all,

Looking for a little help on developing a website prototype to test (app too if possible). I need:

A backend that allows for volunteers to add their availability hours (something like Calendly integration), short bio, profile pic etc

A front end that requires users to sign up, and then lets them directly sign up with the volunteers.

I looked at Wix online booking system but you can only schedule staff by working hours. Built sites on WP before but lacking in time currently.

Hi Parent 🐠 in Greater Boston area. Our kid is going to be 4 soon and we are trying to decide the right school district to move to. Any location recommendations? Any guiding principles?

And if possible, could you let me know how much you currently spend for home (mortgage, property tax, HOA etc.) per year and school (not sure what additional costs are there for public school but if private school, approximate tuition per year). Thank you!

I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:

- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
