What do you do?

I’ve been on these boards since Noows and through FoH and everything in between, but I’ve never been incredibly prolific or noticed this guy before. The Japanimation avatar should have tipped me off.

Understood

He'll typically follow me around and make fun of my choice in career location

WoW brought me back

"Any chance I get to remind people how successful I am!"

Me or him? Point taken I suppose. I am a pretty successful raider

Thats boring now.

Pretty sure hes talking to me. There are still raids in WoW? I figured it had been toned down so a single player could solo everything. That was the direction it felt like it was headed when I quit.

My view of the bay area is primarily based on people with similar spending power fleeing the area after realizing the best they could own was a shack in San Jose.

I make around $175k/year in SF and I live extremely comfortably. People put too much emphasis into owning shit. I could definitely afford to buy in Oakland or something. Certain neighborhoods in SF too but I don't wanna fuck around with Bayview. Neighborhood still has a ways to go.

And before you start shitting on it, Oakland is pretty nice.

By Oakland, you mean not West Oakland.

Unfortunately

Still at raytheon?

Its sadly the best option he likely has in his area. Unless he wants a commute nightmare.

EMC was a much better place to work but the pay was worse. I'm not even sure how it is under the Dell umbrella now.

Can't imagine it's any better. The company I work for seems to be finally breaking free of the grasp slowly. Thank god that EMC never pushed their awful culture onto us.

There aren't other good contractors up there? Is LL not an option?

Also Raytheon is pretty good compared to a fair share of contractors

Hes on the Southern side of MA. Most of the contractors are clustered around Boston and into the 128 belt. Raytheon is probably the best Defense Contractor work for in the region. (The best of the worst)

I think there's a general dynamics in Taunton but they're probably the worst.

I don't even work in MA, I work in RI
