Why would you tell women what you make?

I make well into 6 figures but I feel like advertising that while dating is a recipe for failure

That’s exactly why I start every conversation by telling women I’m homeless.

Kidding aside, I agree that you should talk financials after a time but if they’re asking super early about how much you make, that’s a red flag.

Because it’s a flex. People do it all the time. I don’t agree with it but it’s common.

You call yourself an expert and you don't even have some throw away phone numbers ready on your tool belt

Amateurs! My VOIP provider is behind seven proxies!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

My proxies are behind 8 physical walls in the middle of a field in Nebraska and I live in Europe!

Oh that’d be nice to make six figures lol. Will getting a SSCP get me there? [I dont think i live in a HCOL area]

I kinda hate to be like this, but if you are in a tech position, past the early entry level nonsense, and not making six figures (in the US) then you need to be job hunting.

I don't know if any particular certification will get you there, but IT remains a great practical field to be in. Don't make any sort of "I'm just in this for the money" apologies.

yeah six figures is not what it used to be. like in 2020.
