Project management is a great gig. All they have to do is make powerpoints, chair meetings and blow sunshine up upper management's asses. With excellent compensation.

They are the first to get blamed when things go wrong since they aren’t technical talent.

That sounds like defense contracting. They hire people with a clearance and a pulse, and they spend their day drinking coffee and burning money. The pay is awful compared to tech though.

Sort of. My friends tell me that very-low 6 figures is essentially poverty level if you don't own your home. You burn so much money on housing and the completely fucked state taxes, increased cost of utilities, and food that your take home isn't different from someone earning half that in a normal part of the country. They deal with it because raw salary still matters for 401(k) match so their retirement accounts are fat.

The local news organ went and had interviews with people with office jobs earning $80,000 in W-2 money living out of RVs because they couldn't find a one bed room apartment for less than 3 grand. My friend told me they hired a guy, paid him to relocate from Virginia, and he quit after two weeks because of the price/availibility of a place to live. No notice, just emailed his boss and left his company laptop on his desk.

I have friends who do/did warm body work in the middle east, and with the FEIC they were earning a little less on paper but nearly all of it was going into their bank accounts. One of them was a manager who explained it to me that the contractors hire people to drink coffee and jack off because they want to show high head counts so they can bid on more/bigger contracts.

Spoiler: Your tax dollars at work

He told me one trick of how they needed 10 more people in-country to bid on some fucking contract or another, so what they did was found 10 of the coffee-drinker guys, told them they needed to pack their shit to leave country, sign whatever they were told to sign, ask no questions, and they'd get $10,000 each for a weekend's work.
Next they did was activated an HR headcount audit to establish an official head count for their in-country office. They then signed a subcontract for 10 guys to another company, ID'ed these guys as the 10. As soon as they signed the forms to for the subcontract, they terminated the subcontract and the 10 guys were fired (laid off as "a reduction in force"). As per mandated policy, they put them and their shit on a plane to fly them home. The flight stopped in Dubai, where a personnel officer from the contractor was waiting to rehire them, drove them to a doctors office to get their health fitness report, then rehired them with a $10,000 sign on bonus, took them back to the airport to have them and their shit flown back to the country they had just left less than 24 hours ago. The office then filed an ammendum to the head count paperwork to HR report showing 10 new hires processed in country since the last head count audit. With the head count level now met, the Contractor was now able to bid on the contract.

A lot of defense contracts deal with cost plus contracts. Meaning an hour rate for labor for contractors plus 10% overhead as a profit margin. That’s where it is lucrative to have a lot of bodies, just make sure the work is done. As a former field ops engineer, there is a lot of downtime but the government needs that person to come in and trouble shoot because training a government employee or uniformed personnel is too hard or costly for them. I didn’t mind the job and I worked nights to avoid day time drama so it was peaceful.

I knew an engineer once that spoke to a recruiter for a tech company for the Bay Area. He said he didn’t want to move to the Bay Area and live in poverty as an engineer. She said with a straight face, that a lot of people will get RV’s or trailers, commute to the Bay Area on Monday and then commute down to central California on the weekend to their more permanent residence. She even recommended to buy a bigger RV so he can lease out space in it to fellow workers. I don’t think he was too impressed with her after that. When I worked in LA, my company’s plant site had RVs in the back parking lot of people that either had houses far outside the city or no real permanent residence.

People that voluntarily move to the Bay Area or LA and don’t pull in at least $180K deserve what they get.

In most of the country, $50K is enough to live pretty comfortably.

That’s probably why those parts of the country hate seeing New Yorkers and Californians moving in. I feel sorry for the people of Idaho with the influx of young Californians moving in.

Make no mistake, every part of the country hates New Yorkers and Californians moving in. They drive up housing costs to insane levels and they vote the same way they did back in their shitholes that caused them to leave. We're having that issue here and people are not happy.

He recently quit Google. I'm not sure what kind of parting of the ways it was. I believe it is actually pretty common for people to leave Google when their options vest, which is five years. He was there from 2016 to 2021, so that fits. Also they seemed to throw him mainly at hopeless projects, maybe in the hopes he could pull some weird voodoo to fix them, and he probably didn't see much of a future there.

The stock options by themselves would probably keep him afloat another 10 years even in Japan if managed wisely, even if he does nothing else.

Googlians get Google Stock Units (Reserved stock units but with a gay name cause Google) that vest on a 4-5 year schedule depending on when you signed on IIRC.

Someone like Mootykins probably accrued a few hundred over the years, so if he could sell them for upwards of 3 grand a share he's sitting pretty.

As a Californian refugee (I do have the honor and distinction of only living there as an adult), I feel the need to point out that not all Californians are the same.

You have the right wing and centrists that are fleeing the state and going to Texas, Utah, and Florida because their jobs and companies have left and they are sick of the tax burden.

Then you have what I call the Voluntary Californians. Those are the ones that are leftist and are willingly leaving the state to go live in Colorado, Montana, and Idaho because they want the experience and the mountain real estate is affordable. I had a job offer to move from LA to Denver but turned it down with one of the reasoning being, I didn’t want to move to the place the Californians want to move to.

You can be skeptical of the former but shun the later. Concerning Californians and Texas: Texas is going purple because of the homegrown Texans in the cities have gone lefty. The Californians moving there are by majority supporting conservative candidates, it’s all the native millennials that decided a white man calling himself Beto is a better choice than Ted Cruz.

I don't care anymore about "Good" or "Bad" Californians, the whole State should be walled off and anyone trying to leave should be shot. You assholes made your bed, now lie in it.

I have never learned of anyone being a native or longtime resident of California and been surprised to discover that is where they are from. Red Californians like to tout how they "aren't like the granola crazies" but they are still Californian. NIMBY originated in California and it encapsulates every thing wrong about Californians. Even the escaping republicans fall for every single democrat tactic at election time because I guess they are still scared to be seen as bigots. They dont' really want to leave California, they just want slightly less crazies running the circus. They think they are conservatives until they meet real conservatives and then start voting blue no matter who, ruining the areas they are escaping.

James Hetfield (of metallica) had an interview where he summed up the Californian attitude pretty succinctly, which is they don't just want to be free to live how they want to live, they want to make sure no one else has the freedom to live in a way that they don't want you to live. Its not enough to require restaurants to offer paper straws; plastic straws have to be completely banned. They bloviate about how wonderful it is that California is so diverse while living in the most segregated neighborhoods (unless they getting gentrified) - all they really mean is the availability of cheap labor and ethnic food. They really don't for anything outside of narrow world scope - where you see fun examples like a Californian couple buying a Frank Lloyd Wright home in Oregon and planning to tear it down to build a McMansion.

I have a friend from California, they are about every Californian stereotype, and they refuse to believe anything that runs contrary to their own feelings or experiences could possibly be true. There's simply no way people could want to live near a church they actually attend. What do you mean other states haven't decriminalized petty theft? My home state is on fire, there is no way controlled burns would have made a difference (What if they did a controlled burn when I go back to hike and I couldn't visit my favorite park?) What do you mean Californian mormons dont' suppot fag marriage?

And this is to say nothing of the havoc they inflict on housing markets. The California housing market is so busted that if you don't come in with a cash offer 20% over asking, you might as well not even house hunt. They assume that's how it works everywhere, and soon everyone's taxes are spiking and no one can afford to move.

I don't care anymore about "Good" or "Bad" Californians, the whole State should be walled off and anyone trying to leave should be shot. You assholes made your bed, now lie in it.

In most of the country, $50K is enough to live pretty comfortably.

In all fairness, you leave LA & Bay, and things normalize pretty quick - high, but not one million for a burned out husk high https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...-out-home-california-sale-price-b1905529.html. OTOH, unless you've worked out a remote gig, salaries also drop.

Thats just not true anymore atleast not in the part of Florida i live in

Heck before the pandemic you could live an Al Bundy sort of life on 35k...atleast you had a house and car..money was tight but you could make it and still squirrel $100 or so bucks into savings every paycheck. The housing market has gone up and taxes also and it has absolutely bled any extra income that could be made. I would say 75k is the new 50k

From what I understand this isn't just florida phenomena but its nationwide.

Californians. Its not important to them so it must not be important to anyone.
They just wanted to have their McMansion on a river.

lowtax is such a loser I'm not even interested in how gay his life is any more.
thanks be to whoever punished this faggot, lol was the bipolar pussy good enough?
im glad he is slowly realizing how worthless he is. way too much of a coward to kill himself, he will just waste away, ignoring his children. His children will be able to see the arc of his life when they become old enough to research him, be pretty funny when they realize he could have been a 100+millionare if he wasn't so fucking retarded.

pathetic little richard, microwaving his meals, he has decades of this to come. pathetic worm.
