Expensive watches are so overrated

I know i can't wait for the watch investing market to pop entirely. Even the mechanical watches aren't worth more than 2k$.

bro, set reminders with alarms and give yourself 20 minutes to search for a general doctor (maybe a family one). talk to him and explain the issue.

Product manager also did this. Then I realized it was pretty much the only working agreement he actually tracked so I got a good camera, I dress up nicely for the daily and then I proceed to do next to nothing for the rest of the day.

New to a development like job but is it normal for people to keep asking you to build features EXACTLY how it'll look in prod even if they don't have the "design" completed? It annoys the shit out of me because I have to do their work in figuring out what they want when I can whip something up in the system quickly just to show the logic of how things can work and we can go over specifics later. It's just so ass backwards.

>>106908873

Well funnily enough the last meeting just ended with him getting butthurt and lecturing everyone in the chat about not having their cams on and having to say it again, then he paused expecting people to start turning it on and no one did. Then stuttered and ended the meeting lmfao.

I assume this person is used to bully employees and contractors because he thinks everybody is desperate to keep their income streams at all costs, but for me? The more bullshit I have to deal with, the less interested I'm in giving my all. Today I declined two meetings due to "clashes" and I can't care less if they decide to end the contract, it's their loss. Also started interviewing and moving my CV so I can get another one elsewhere after some small holidays.
I guess this is 100% what happens with 50-year-old seniors and that's why business are not that eager to hire them, because they can't control them through threats based on cutting their income?

i didnt notice any mental effects with creatine, but it does bump your lifts up pretty noticeably. i got my OHP to 135 (inb4 dyel) for 5x5 within a month of starting it. i was stalled out pretty hard before that.
it doesnt just load them with water, it increases the energy stores within the cells.
just try it out, theres a really good chance it will bump your lifts.
people claim TRT will improve cognition and concentration too but i didnt experience any of that. if theres any improvement its subtle and a side effect of working out more.

Any /g/ermans on here who have an LLC in the US?
It seems to be a lot cheaper and less complicated than creating and operating a German UG or even GmbH. But I don't know how this works in terms of taxes. Like, do I have to pay taxes to our Finanzamt on the money I take out of the company's account for private use in addition to the corporate taxes I pay in the US?

>>106920590
>Like, do I have to pay taxes to our Finanzamt on the money I take out of the company's account for private use
Yes, but not really.
You company's spending is not taxed in Germany. If you are an employee of your own company and are receiving money from it, though, it is.
The trick is to give yourself no salary and justify all your spending as business expenses. Your car? In the name of the company. Your house? In the name of the company? Your meal at McDonalds? Strategic business lunch.
Either way, talk to a real lawyer/finance firm instead of autists on the internet. That should be your first step.

that's not such a big problem, I don't even expect to make a whole lot of money with this company, at least for now. Germany would force me to pay yearly fees for insurance and membership in the "Chamber of Industry and Commerce" that would be in excess of what I expect to make from my apps.

Living in the UK there's absolutely no point in striving for more money. We have the highest taxes since WW2 and I resent every penny because they'll spunk it away giving it to migrants, or building wind turbines that don't get used or infrastructure projects that get cancelled.

My focus is maintain current salary while being as comfy as possible and making me physically manifest in an office when I could be in my home office with my dog asleep on my feet you'd have to pay me a fuckload more than 20%

>hurr if i make more money i pay more taxes therefore i make LESS money!!!!
this is mathematically impossible under all tax systems that currently exist. you never have an even or lower takehome after a raise due solely to taxes.

looks like someone really wanted to get us to 310 posts so they would bake a new thread to shill their crap

Seniors know their worth and hard to swindle more than they agreed on. The AI rush and resume bloat is just making them more valuable since everybody wants somebody who can just walk in and run their shit.

It used to be you would avoid hiring them due to short period of work, but with a lot of jobs in tech not even being steady for 10 years, that shit is out the window.

I honestly think the furry poster is one of the best posters in this thread. guy actually talks about technology/tools and his experiences instead of blogging about finances, taxes, or about his morning coffee or fucking office culture.

you are correct. the wife would contribute to her own 401k if she was working and wasnt taking care of the kid

our team has to maintain an endpoint with sub 50ms latency SLAs because the platform is shit and retardedly coupled with synchronous calls to everything and no thought behind the size of the microservices (we have too many)
PIM software for a multibillion dollar corpo btw

>get up 2 hours earlier than you do now to commute into a third-world infested faggot filled shithole of a city on a sweaty fart-tube of a public transit system all so you can put your laptop on the desk in the company office instead of putting it on the desk you have at home. And then get home 2 hours later so basically you have no free time
>but it's OK because you get a few hundred quid more after all the taxes
No thanks.

I know you end up technically having more money in your take-home pay, I'm saying the amount I'd have to get is far higher than a 20% bump to put up with a daily commute to an office.

I'm the anon who was practicing drawing naked ladies while waiting for tests to run, for LLMs to generate code for me, or during boring meetings...
I think I'm getting better at drawing, but I still make the heads too small relative to the body...
