The government sets payscale 'tiers' based on qualifications / roles, and these tiers determine the minimum you're able to earn once you obtain an H-1B or PERM. the employer is still able to work w/ the lawyers to get you to fall at a lesser paying tier, and also offer no further growth/compensation as they have no incentive to-- regardless of performance or structure.
Source: My exact role and bulk of responsibilities are valued at at least 2x; but given how difficult it is (for me, at least) to transition out given the job market, I have no other option but to stay or simply leave the country.
Genuinely so pleased with this! I'm a big fan of Rewind as a concept because, in general, I write down everything I do every day (helps with my poor memory, adhd, and in general), and a tool that can record my online-actions and facilitate search too is a game-changer for me (specially when it doesn't come with the hefty price tag).
Couple things --
1) Do you ever plan on introducing shortcuts to toggle rem as opposed to using the menu-bar option?
2) What's storage like? Will rem's size keep getting larger and larger until I purge all? Or will I eventually get to select how long I want to 'remember' something (without manually having to 'start' and 'stop')?
3) One bug I've caught a few times is - once I toggle timeline and just slide back to view previous 'memories', >50% of the time my device won't let me exit out of the 'timeline' and I'll have to exit out of rem (cmd+opt+esc) and re-open it.
Maybe a silly question - but on the app itself, is there some sort of... tutorial of sorts? Really curious to learn how this world works but unsure where exactly to start on this app.
I've been using Beam for a week now - big fan. Analytics are simple enough for my personal projects, and I'm able to add custom event tracking as well which is really nice.
Though it hasn't done anything for me as of late, in my senior year of undergrad I bought a domain name from a random person online ($70). I had no actual experience or understanding of web development, and thought this would be a good excuse to learn (in hindsight, I should have purchased a domain name for significantly less money, but having something set-up already felt like a 'win'; this was a ~big investment at the time).
I learnt about WordPress, HTML, basic CSS, and consistently wrote blog posts focused on tech in general (nothing technical - more along the lines of new gadgets, apps, useful software). Flash forward to being about to graduate and looking for jobs back home, I was asked to submit some work as proof of knowledge (this position wasn't necessarily geared to "entry-level", but at least I had something to demonstrate my limited experience). In my interviews, I was asked about this blog a lot - how it started, what I've done, my knowledge of SEO concepts and so on, and I strongly believe it's the main reason I was hired.
1- Was the transfer a complicated process?
2- Unless you're extremely qualified, did the idea of a transfer discourage many potential employers during your job search(es)?
location and resources change every so often (i get bored / i find something else that excites me) but the cycle has traditionally been weightlifting at the gym -> spending a few months doing only cardio (for a long time it was just boxing, but recently acquired a quest 2 and not a session goes by where i'm not dripping sweat) -> home gym -> back to an actual gym. as far as benefits, i couldn't use enough words to describe how much it's helped with my mental state (specifically when i get into the zone and get consistent with it). it often becomes that one place/time where i can completely tune out, not have to talk to anyone, interact with anyone, think about anything, worry about anything.
Medication helps. Lifestyle hasn't changed too much - I still have endless to-do lists, bookmarks, things I need to get to, but medication has helped me in the sense that it doesn't all feel overwhelming at every single moment, anymore. Days feel easier to manage.
lifestyle -- fitness/nutrition/meditating/prioritization, has helped 100x more than medication ever did. was on meds from age 12-20, everything under the sun, and they were net-negative for me. but that's just me. everyone is diff, with so many underlying factors to why our brains operate the way they do. just glad we have this community to discuss it. never had this when I was growing up.
