Sorry guys, it was a busy day and just realized this kinda picked up, cloudflare workers reached their limit and I am now looking into a solution. In the meantime, it can be accessed via https://www.notion.so/cd2571b6bd0b434f8bf2042d5fa0d6ea

And we are back, sorry I didn't expected to reach Cloudflare Workers free plan limit that fast.

What solution did you come up with? Or did you just convert to a paid plan?

If you want to remain an IC then remote is probably the best option, but if you want to climb up into a leadership role I don’t really see how you get there in a remote role. Also Facebook’s admission that salary will be tied to cost of living wherever you choose to live sets a bad precedent. Anyone who thought they could just keep their Bay Area salary is going to be disappointed, and it gives cover to every other c…

But that's good, some people in sv make more money in a year than some other people make in their entire life. If this was allowed it would probably destroy so many places. Faang salary makes you a king just about anywhere in the world besides a few major cities, in my home town you could buy a flat per month and still have some money to invest somewhere else.

Isnt it pretty obvious? People are under the illusion they are paid for the work they do. They are not and never have been. They have always been paid what someone is willing to pay them for the work they do. It's subtle but important distinction. Salary is a function of demand and supply like any other price on an open market. This is why its important to not think in terms of work when negotiating a salary. Instead…

> They are not and never have been. They have always been paid what someone is willing to pay them for the work they do. “Willing” is the wrong word. People are paid based on what the company can get away with paying them, as long as it’s less than the amount that they are “willing” to pay (then they don’t get hired). In other words, the labor market is more like a 2nd price auction than a 1st price. This is obvious…

Truth.

Is anyone holding down multiple remote jobs at the same time? As long as you are productive, how would the employers know?

I don't know nothing about US law, but in Europe it's very common that in your second job legally you can work only part-time, so it's 60h weeks beetween jobs at most.

Yes, companies have an information advantage in labor economics. People need to stop treating it like an Econ 101 equation.

I just ended up paying $5/mo to have 10M worker requests per month. Not too bad.
