6 Figures 6 Certs Random Thoughts Thread

I don't know how people are claiming to send out hundreds of resumes and getting a few call backs.

The best approach is to do a targeted job search with companies and find warm leads in them. This has been helping me get through interviews right now at least.

Probably spamming on LinkedIn with EasyApply most likely.

I can’t wait til more jobs are hiring enough to contact me instead of scanning through listings.

Google did another round of lowkey layoffs this week.

It’s 2023, these Gen Alpha babies need to get it on their own

In 2090, no more Social Security, no more world reserve currency. Don't ask me for any money. This 401k is for me.

If it's an employee discount, make sure you read the terms. Most times there are restrictions on when you can buy or sell.

Yeah i already signed up, putting 10% into the fund every paycheck, and the shares get bought at the end of the 6 month period. (all handled by fidelity)

I just wanted to see what other brehs/brehettes were doing or if i should think about raising my contribution.

If you believe in the company and feel they'll be around until you are ready to cash out, I understand. Its a cool option for those who want a set it and forget it investment option. "If" I were to do this, I'd make sure I was max contributing to my 401k first, then add the stock options second.

And not paid well enough. Being WFH without any possibility of having to go back into the office and beefing up my resume are the main benefits for now.

I'm holding on a bit longer to see if they will up the $$ otherwise bouncing.
