Ive been promoted at work, but it comes with a catch - I am required to relocate (at the company's expense at least) to either Seattle or Alexandria Virginia. Which is the least cucked option for a 30 year old Anon Babble addicted software engineer
Ive been promoted at work...
Virginia
VA
Don't go to seattle
how are.you even asling this question?
If you like nature Seattle ain’t bad, VA isn’t bad though.
My aunt used to live in Alexandria, beautiful, very wooded area. Unfortunately a lot of limo libs but decent area over all. Seattle is a shithole, the comparison is not even close. I almost relocated to VA but I got a better offer out of Houston at the last second.
No way, Seattle has a lot of closet basedbros, Alexandria is just pure DC assholes. Plus you don't have to deal with snow and there's amazing scenery and hiking in the area
Upside of seattle: housing was built this century, almost no black people, no income tax
Downside of seattle: junkie bums
Upside of virginia: less liberal overall, but the area will effectively be the same
Downside of virginia: income taxes and its literally right across the river from all the niggers of DC
At least in Virginia you get to be close to the nuclear explosions when the bombs drop.
That's not sweat
Don't trade your safety for a promotion. Don't be a ruthless careerist.
This line of inquiry makes me feel like I didn't fail, but succeeded in a different way.
Seattle. Both are awful places to live but at least Seattle you can escape into the Cascades on weekends or go sailing or whatever and sort of enjoy your life.
Also my money's on you being an Amazon employee. Just know that lots of people who relocated for rto were still let go after so if you're not sure about uprooting your life, maybe don't.
Seattle is literally dripping with AIDS.
Virginia is money and power - they'll never really let the dumbfucks destroy it. Seattle's already gone.
Zesty
AWS, but im not being forced to RTO due to the policy change, im transitioning from a remote role (130k TC) to an in person one (190k TC)
I wouldnt exactly call Houston safe
This
What a fool
Depends, how much of your salary do you want to go to harm reduction initiatives and cops that won’t come if a junkie robs you?
Ideally none, Washington meets this requirement by having zero income tax
Thats a tough one, luckily I live in Texas which doesnt have any of the shit you have to choose from... KEK enjoy living in a shitty part of the USA aka not Texas
I've never been to that city in Virginia, but go do a search on the current state of Seattle. It's in the same bucket as Portland and San Fransisco; homeless street tweakers everywhere, human shit on the sidewalks, and dregs from 3rd world countries swarming.
Any way you can get out of this "promotion", without nuking your career?. That kind of salary increase does NOT sound good enough to lose WFH privs.
I currently live in Houston. Im not impressed
Not really, and i dont particularly care about this promotino in and of itself, so much as what itll lead to. Effectively i expect ill be doubling that TC within 3 years
Seattle
hot white women
nature
We live in a casino and the house always wins
Yeah I figured. I heard Amazon was like IBM used to be - move up the ladder and move to a different location. My money's still on VA.
Figured.
That TC sucks. L4? Make sure where you're headed has some upward mobility so you're being positioned for L5-L6. If you're l5 or above, renegotiate or something. 190k is acceptable for Seattle but you're not gonna be living large by any means. You should be looking at 250 or above.
Good luck though. Aws is hit or miss. Hopefully your manager isn't Indian. Worst years of my life on route53. Some other projects were enjoyable though.
Im hoping to avoid the San Fransisco step by sucking it up at one of the HQs for a few years then moving back to Texas (Austin, unfortunately) or Tennessee and working at google/apple/facebook/anywhere except amazon
Go whenever it’s cheaper to live
Yeah, L4, moving from a PS role. Im SES team bound
Lmao because you live in Houston… picrel tells you why that suckstmrpw
texas doesnt have any of that shit!
except there... and there... and there...
I don't know about Seattle but Virginia is not a great state. Lived there from 2013 to 2018 in Central VA. Virginia fags here talk it up though.
Go to Seattle, then go to Crater Lake and build a survivalist shelter.
Seattle, lots of stuff to see and do You'll enjoy it if you look forward and ignore the bums in alleys
so what exactly is needed to be done to avoid the bums memeflag
Move to Virginia and come hang out with me. Dad was a cop in Alexandria for 30 years. Mom for 7.
Seattle is getting a nuke too. It's a major port.
if you have to manage people make sure you get a huge raise. dont do it for the honor, managing people is miserable
VA
Learn to carry, you just got a new hobby.
Seattle if a fucked up city, if you dont like the sunlight go live there
Virginia, by far.
It's filled with niggers, but segregation runs deep on that half of the country.
They know what the score is over there.
Seattle is an open air drug den for white mentally ill leftists.
Virginia may be a dystopia shithole but at least it's a well run shithole.
This too.
Real power lives in Virginia.
As long as you're high enough up on the food chain you can survive by just being close enough to important people.
Texas is the least shitty of the shitty parts of this country.
That's something I guess.
There are no hot white women in Seattle.
It's 100% tattooed roasties with mutt babies.
pepe face shill glowniggers should go to hell
Pepe posters are literally part of the team that recoded and brought chan back online kys
