There's still better options. You can get a low interest loan against your portfolio. That way, your portfolio is accumulating interest faster than the loan rate. At Merrill Lynch, this is called a LMA, loan management account[1].
I'm not rich, so I'm not sure what other options the wealthy have.
I have a pretty unique last name, and it was sent to [email protected] and the greenhouse email only had my first name in it so I don't know what other information was submitted.
I think the best way is to work at a growing company and show leadership and growth potential. Start completing projects on time and you'll probably get promoted or tasked with additional sr level responsibilities.
If you don't get promoted, you at least have some talking points when leaving at your next interview which can place you in that seniority bracket.
If it's not something you can scope out when the task is brought up, you can specify how much time it would take you to research it in more detail to get an estimate.
I was taking flight lessons and dropped my pen under the rudder pedals. I had a pencil in my pocket and my flight instructor said he was impressed that I had a backup.
This kind of drove home that you need to be prepared for a lot of different outcomes because I would have been screwed if I was flying by myself and was unable to take notes.
You haven't shared your resume, but your tone seems to suggest you might think it isn't the greatest. Have you tried different formats of resumes that maybe highlight some of the skills you have that are relevant to the positions or show off some of the projects you have done?
I'm not sure about how much experience you have since you only give your age, but if you are applying for senior remote positions, do they spotlight the skills that a senior engineer has?
I think the issue is with older houses that might have 15 amp circuit breakers compared to the modern standard of 20A. One high end desktop computer by itself isn't likely to be a problem, but the way these houses are wired, there are a lot of outlets on the same breaker since they were mostly designed for lighting loads. Our 1950 house in MI will flip the breaker if we use the microwave, toser and bathroom vent at the same time, and my desktop is also on that circuit (with a UPS)
This is the same advice I'd give, but I'd also assume that the laptop is going to break within 2 years or so in a way that's worth just buying a new one (or another used one). Just an antidote, but that's about how long they last me.
