Get a refurbished one?

MacBook Pro

Something similar to a Lenovo Legion with RTX 3050/4050 and above based on your price range should do the job. These can cost around $1k-1.5k or lower if there's an offer.

Downsides: battery life will be far less compared to your macbook pro. The laptop's performance drops when not plugged in the socket.

I just had to upgrade a very recent well specced macbook air because it can’t handle creative suite. Got a mac studio.

I'd look at an older M-series MacBook Pro or a refurbished model. Even the M1 Pro MBPs still fly.

Mac mini with an external portable monitor

Totally agree on getting a second-hand or refurbished MacBook. I have a surface laptop studio 2 for work, and there’s a huge difference. everything feels slow compared to a MacBook

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

“Keep costs down”???? I am happy to keep costs down by not working on this ducking matter anymore. Maybe stop saying yes to matters that are too small to justify our rates and staffing an expensive senior person on them when you’re already dying trying to get anything staffed. You didn’t have to do shit on this matter, didn’t hear you complaining about my taking the lead and managing everything for you when that was happening. >.>
