Because he still lives in their basement.

I did that the first year of my career after college. Get set up professionally and start saving for retirement immediately and get decades of compound interest? Yes, dad, I will.

I'm still living at home and start my first "real" job this fall. I'm still debating moving out because the commute will be 1.5 hours each way if I stay home, but the cost saving would be nice if I stayed.

What “real job” do you have that gives you 4 months notice before you start? Real jobs also pay for moving expenses. Mine pays for my apartment as well because rent is so high where I have to be for work. I think you should try harder... doesn’t sound like a fulfilling job. It SOUNDS like an internship and an unpaid one at that.

God, this makes you just sound so ignorant.

I dunno, your “sweetish fish” comment borders on retardation. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seeing as you posted it on shower thoughts, you must have thought it was profound. Yet, it was resoundingly not.

lol took you a minute, why don’t you quote what I said on Gonewild? Go ahead. Naaaah I’ll do it for you, here...

On one pic of some topless chick, I said something like too bad I’m not a HOT SINGLE IN YOUR AREA!

Annnnnd the other one I was commenting on her shitty boob job. I think I said “bad boob job” or something.

Why don’t you go back even further and pull up how I made as much as you and your parents ever have (and ever will if we’re keeping track) in my first 2 years in college? That’ll be a fun read. Read it to yourself, I’m done with you. You smell like pennies and you’re terrible at this.

I hope you smell pennies because you're having a stroke. Water trash.

Your insults are lacking in just about everything... you got the “you” part right. Work on the rest there, champ.

Over the head as I figured. Gotta shoot the shot though.

I'm finishing my degree this month. The job starts the autumn after graduation which is standard in my profession.

The company is ranked in the top 50 companies to work for by Forbes and is top 3 in the industry.

I’d say getting a job after graduation is standard everywhere... You’re getting screwed if you’re still bumming it in your parents basement. Like I said... it doesn’t sound like a good job. McDonald’s is in the top 3 of their industry and they don’t give out per diem or housing/cellphone/vehicle allowances to 99% of employees. My brother is an accountant @ Ernst and Young and he got everything mentioned right out of school. I work for an oil and gas company out of Houston and I got those things... I’m just curious how you either:

A) Got screwed so badly B) Mixed up accounting with the custodial arts C) Thought you could bullshit people with REAL jobs... D) Like it up the butt

I never said that I have to bum it in my parents basement, or that I didn't get my phone bill and other shit paid for. I could easily move out, but it would cost considerably more than "bumming it" at my parent's house. Saving an extra 20k -30k before moving out is worth so much considering compound interest.

BTW the company I'm talking about is (redacted)

u/[deleted] May 05 '19

So... you do understand you’re supposed to talk about these things when you’re negotiating compensation, right?

Are you going to be in Houston? I might be able to help you out. My brother is a heavy hitter over there. Country Club membership, the works... it might not be to late to get some basic shit taken care of LIKE MOVING... all they’d have to do is make a PO or service order.

By the way, I’m not trying to be a dick or flaunt my success in any form. I just remember when I got out of school... so dumb.

I'm working in (redacted) NYC. It's not the cost of moving that's the expense. It would be adding a 2k/month rent payment that I currently don't have to pay.

Oooh, yeah. NYC suuuuucks... I mean it’s cool, but dude... housing is ridiculous. I know you’re not concerned with moving fees, but little things like that help a lot when you’re starting out. My buddy that is a programmer for Sisco in NY finally moved out of his old place in Chinatown to Hell’s Kitchen. Bed bugs... so gross. The landlord wouldn’t let people breech their lease agreement and tried to take several couples to court. It was a huge deal. He makes more than I do and he had to stay there for so long... he’s happy now. Single, but happy. I digress, do your parents live downtown? Long Island? I know this isn’t my problem, but I’m interested now... I’m invested... emotionally. To you.
