Whats the tech scene/job market like in Chicago? I currently work remotely in MN but wouldn’t mind finding a hybrid work arrangement & want to avoid tech bro hubs like SF and Austin.

You can pick either Grubhub or PayPal!

I work at Meta rn lol it’s infinitely better than what you’d get at Grubhub. GH has layoffs, toxic culture, etc while you get paid almost nothing. At least at Meta we’re paid top of market for the tough expectations that pretty much all tech companies have now anyway.

I’m 28, debt free, make $70k/yr in a MCOL city and have a net worth of about $140k. I want to buy a house, but most houses in my area are $300k+.

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry. Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?

Wedding cake maker recommendations?

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
