| Topic | How is Ticket To Ride? |
| Evil_Evil_Evil_ 03/20/20 12:20:42 AM #11 | it's a fun game but it's not very balanced. you get penalized way too heavily if your goals are short and you have to build short paths. transcontinental goals and long rails are the way to go if you want to win. ticket to ride europe is a more balanced version and much more fun as it solves a lot of the issues the original version had (less 5-6 car long rails, introduction of connection hubs, more connections in central locations, etc). |

How'd you get the job then?did well enough to get the job but not the level i wanted. i was downleveled from the role i interviewed for. treewojima posted... $240k as a developer is on the high end outside of management or extremely niche work. Take the Seattle job and enjoy the benefits, then use that experience and high pay to negotiate in your next job.missed your question earlier. i'm a web developer and my area of expertise is frontend.

Christian RULES posted... is 240K and 170K considered average salaries? Can you even survive in Seattle and New York with that kind of money?i think they're pretty high for your average person. you can definitely survive on that money, splurge a little, and save a good amount. |

I used to live in the county just north of Seattle for like 20 years.snow isn't a problem for me since it didn't snow at all this year in new york city. i don't like rain but it wouldn't be a deal breaker to me. TaZa92 posted... Are you in a managerial role now? Or are you able to command that as a straight up dev? I know it's possible in big tech but still pretty impressive. I work in tech/finance but I don't make as much.no, just an individual contributor. i have 2.5 years of experience. my current and past teammates have always commended me on being an excellent engineer but i don't think i'm anything special. emblem boy posted... How old are you?i'm 24. she is supportive of me relocating for work and keeping it long distance for the time being. not thinking about marriage yet but when i do, i will probably be back in new york. |

And is it worth it to leave your family (and possibly your gf) behind?planning to save up to buy a house and start a family. seattle would only be temporary (2-3 years) until i get promoted and find a new job again in new york (hopefully). TomNook20 posted... Do you live with your parents? Try to get the nyc job to match your other offer.they won't match because i didn't do that well on the interview boxington posted... what is/are the job(s)?developer for both jobs Zikten posted... also it does rain like 9 months of the year. the only real time it consistently won't rain is the summer. then you get droughts.this sounds... awful TaZa92 posted... Are you a coder/dev TC?yes i am a developer. i would probably be aiming for 350k for my next move after 2-3 years (hopefully in new york) if i take the seattle offer. |
