While I have been tweaking CV according to specific roles, your comment made me realize I should overhaul these categorically for different audience. Appreciate your suggestion!

I usually don't comment on HN but needed to ask you: How did your framing work? And can you elaborate "learning my own limits"? It's been 8 years since I graduated. I started worki…

I usually don't comment on HN but needed to ask you: How did you recover? It's been 8 years since I graduated. I started working at a Bank in a Management Rotational Program with g…

Giving you real example of buying SIM card in 3 countries (Thailand, Vietnam, Russia) within last 6 months: You step into the shop/kiosk at the airport (or in the city, however you…

Sidenote: but no, drafting is not so quick and there are multiple ways to refuse to do that. (I'm in RF at the moment)

There're no EORs (Employer of Record) like Deel etc. operating out of Russia so they'd need you to be legally/officially registered at the very least in Russia. I know someone who …

Its all relative — I paid $10 for a month in Germany as a resident (comes with full EU roaming). Prices in other EU countries are even cheaper. It took 1 minute to plug it in. Also…

As a digital nomad + business traveler, eSims are total misdirection and more cumbersome experience: Case in point - I stay in Country A (home country) for 3 months, Country B for …

They use Telegram - highly popular in Ukraine, Russia for messaging as well as news consumption.

Its not. It is indifference which leads to the very few - who can hold the power - to continue holding it unobstructed and play their narrative with propaganda because they themsel…

I am in Russia currently. Not Russian but I speak fluent Russian and have acquaintances in affected territories. Update: 19:28 Moscow time. - Situation is normal in cities and obla…

I myself have a difference of exactly one year from my real birthdate and official one. Why? Because in 80s/90s India, it was common to have 'official' birthdate extended with expe…

I see your point and agree - Substack etc may exist today but might not in 2-3-5y down the line and it'd be valuable to have hold of your own writing from Day 1. On a different not…

> I recommend it. Start a blog - on your own domain, on webspace that you control. Following up on this - any specific reason behind this? I am considering starting a newsletter so…

I have been using Wise (formerly TransferWise - which is how I still refer to it) for close to 8-9 years at this point...and this UX/UI design is one of the most horrific and unple…

Imo - the article is missing forest for the trees with many comments attributing it to "individualism" in the US society and how it differs from Europe. Imo - this boils down to a …

Just wanted to mention out there that this is one of the topmost reasons why I left Germany (and moved back to Asia). - Lack of political will to fix the bureaucratic mess: I had t…

Does anyone have ANY recommendations for referral platform? Cold application is fairly useless in today's age and time. A referral puts your application much ahead in the pool so t…

Does anyone have any recommendations for referral community/platform?

Question to folks who respond and experienced managers: how do you deal with peer managers who're not as supportive and out to get you? Context: I joined a startup and I'm leading …

Glad to hear you tried and liked it

For anyone looking for an INCREDIBLE note-taking app, check out UpNote. https://getupnote.com/ - Sleek UX/UI. It does not overoptimize there either. Just the right amount of perfec…

I think the folks who rode the ride a couple years back got it good: somewhere around 2012-2019 was great time for someone who had worked at marquee tech companies, had massive sto…

plenty of PMs and PMMs being let go fwiw as per my feed

Strong disagree with that one and this is a fairly unambitious take. Most companies and employees themselves in the EU buy their own kool-aid of "yeah we are ok with getting paid $…
