Deep dive into a niche topic, expert led, compelling storytelling, and professional production.
Not sure how/if something this could have been created / shared 20+ years ago.
Relatively speaking this salary/benefits has higher expected lifetime earnings than a software developer.
One negative is that the unions are also strong enough that teachers can't be fired/replaced for performance (this is similar to Police...etc). As with any profession the worst of the bunch is very bad, and unfortunately they keep doing it until their fifties at the cost of the children.
It audits your site for issues, shows Google rankings for keywords, estimated volume for keywords, backlinks to specific sites, backlinks to specific pages...etc.
It doesn't do anything for SEO (no content, no links...etc), it simply reports on the state of affairs.
In the midst of an election a weekly (bi-weekly? monthly?) summary article of what happened, and what is important is more than sufficient for me.
Sites like NHL.com or ESPN.com are borderline hostile navigating this info.
It is reminiscent of the morning sports pages in the newspaper I would read each morning as a kid.
The one improvement would be if there was page that summarized the league. i.e. Click on NHL and it lists scores, games that day, standings, and possibly scoring leaders. That would be capture all of the important points on one clean page, as the newspaper used to.
A "dual suspension bikes" for $200, will be both bad on a trail, and on a road. It will have terrible rims, terrible tires, terrible everything, and will be designed to break near-immediately. All sizzle, no steak.
Walmart could have a bike for the same price with simpler, less flashy features, that was better in everyway. Except it wouldn't pretend to be a capable full squish bike.
IF walmart was to put their heft behind a rock solid single speed it would be be an exceptional win for consumers.
What types of companies were the 2 best offers?
For example a defense Attorney defending a DUI charge will likely be a flat fee. They will also charge according to what it is worth to you.
e.g. If you were Palo Alto's most successful real estate agent, and were at risk of losing your drivers license, you will be charged accordingly when you show up at the doorstep of a prominent defense Attorney.
There would be some higher paying opportunities in Van/Tor/Mtl. But an $200K individual contributor software dev is a truly a Unicorn in Canada.
Lots of reasons, but the biggest is that simply don't have the ultra profitable FAANGs that drive up salaries.
>But dammit, regardless of where you have gotten your mis-information from, any Linux kernel discussion list isn't going to have your idiotic drivel pass uncontested from me.
He hasn't lost his fastball!
Bill Clinton left office broke due to legal fees, and there are estimates of $100M net worth.
I think I am paraphrasing Buffett here, this can apply to so many career/business decisions.
Presumably the child of a war criminal would also have suffered trauma in youth, but there would no consideration of mercy, or sympathetic longform articles for the 30something 2nd generation war criminal. They would be simply be treated as evil.
It seems so unique, and it could be applied to many areas.
If you are contracting in a situation like this a reasonable rate could mean $250-$1000 an hour. Really depends on what kind of money your currently make.
A better approach in the case would be to offer to investigate, and provide a flat rate. You can charge $3000 flat fee, and you may solve it in 1.5 hrs.
If you sold on sentiment here you would always be selling, or just not buying.
Both of these fields have a non-trivial amount of people earning excess $1M a year.
It is really hard to come up with a useful average when including with History PhD's and Dermatologists as part of the same cohort.
They are far less in Canada, a $200K CAD ($150K USD) tech job is rare, actually, $150K CAD ($112K USD) are also uncommon.
Best job opportunities are in high COL locations (Vancouver, Toronto), followed by Montreal. But unlike the USA the compensation (for MOST employees) in those markets is only moderately higher than lower COL locations. (Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg...etc).
I consider the extra domains he is selling to just be table stakes. You buy the domain, have big ideas, but then realize your time is better spent on another project.
I am not the type to spring up to rush to the gym at 6AM, but if I told a friend I will be there at 6AM, I will never miss it.
He agrees with her for raising this, and does think that some regulation should be in place, but sufficiently understanding the underlying nature of the problem is important to do less harm than good.
Of course it also has the nostalgic appeal.
