Just got an OpenAI offer. Can I realistically afford to marry my girlfriend Q1 next year?
All Channels Location Industry Job Function Learning & Advising Money Base: 300K Equity: 305K/yr in PPUs Sign-on: 50K TC: $655K Basically almost double my comp. My girlfriend and I have been together a few years and marriage is the clear next step. I’m eyeing a Q1 2026 proposal and wedding. We're not in the best place financially at the moment, but this new salary will put us in a better place.
Stocks had a great day but this mirrors what happened in December 1999
We had a ton of Tech stocks go up today but we also had a record number of companies making 52 week lows. The last time this happened was December 1999. And before that? The last time this happened was July 23, 1929. To me, I basically says that a few stocks are responsible for the majority of gains in the S&P 500 while other companies are doing really bad badly. Once this accelerates, it is inevitable that the rest of the economy slips into recession and tech stocks are also affected.

I gave up on having kids while I'm at Meta
It’s insane that I’m even writing this, but after a talk with my husband, the realization finally hit me... I have to give up on having a kid while I’m at Meta. There is absolutely zero guarantee I’ll still be employed here by next year, let alone by the time I'd actually return from mat leave. With the company's dynamics, entirely unstable TC, and complete lack of job security, trying to plan a family right now feels absurd. The sad part is my biological clock is ticking and it's ticking fast.
My dad bought his house on $58k. I'm at $350k TC and can't clear a down payment.
Single income too. I'm at $350k but a comparable place today is $1.4M or more, I'm not sure. I make six times what he made and I'm further from owning anything than he was at 29. Just taking time out to vent cause there's a lot bothering me. I'm prepping for a Google SWE role and will see a considerable boost in my TC if I land it, or any of my other interviews, but I know that will take me nowhere. I plan to get married to my girlfriend in 2028.
Who survives at Amazon for over 20 years?
Who survives at Amazon for over 20 years? Take a look at this lady, Beryl Tomay who is the VP of transformation at Amazon. She’s been there ever since she graduated from college and is now a VP. How can anybody survive there for this long? I’ve heard that anything outside AWS is completely toxic and this lady works in transportation which has to be one of the toughest divisions to work in because of the low margins and constant logistics pressure involved.
Opus. Pack your bags and go home.
10 minutes ago, Anthropic announced the launch of Claude Opus 5. Here's everything you need to know in less than 60 seconds: 1. Near-Fable performance, half the cost Anthropic says Opus 5 comes close to Fable 5 on difficult coding and knowledge work. On CursorBench, it finished within 0.5% of Fable's best score at half the cost per task. 2. The price has not increased It costs the same as Opus 4.8: $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens.
Career Break (in this economy?!)
I’ve been seriously considering taking a career break (quit) with no job lined up. I got a new manager who is very toxic, and I dread every 1:1 with my manager. I talked to my skip and can’t transfer teams. (My skip thinks my manager is fine…different story. My skip is well aware that I do not get along with my current manager.) I have no motivation to work, but I’m unable to slack off because my work is quite visible, and I also do not have it in me to quiet quit/screw over my teammates.
