I love this advice. I've consumed tons of people's stories and each person took a different path. When you first start consuming this kind of stuff and noticing that, you get a little miffed, but later you come to the realization dharmon articulates here: there are tons of ways to make it work.

Make a mental note of the advice you like and try it when appropriate. Mix and match to find the cocktail that works best for you. My path is not the canonical one, but it is a path that has worked at least one time. ;-)

I recently moved to Seattle, but I got my six-figure job in Knoxville, Tennessee. (See https://www.bestplaces.net/cost_of_living/city/tennessee/kno...)

Not saying my experience is typical, but just wanted to put that out there. I didn't have to move to an expensive coastal city to get the salary. In fact, the opposite was true. The salary allowed me to move to the expensive coastal city which is where I wanted to live.

I notice on the page they have licensing that supersedes the Windows licensing included with the VMs. Unfortunately, I've had these VMs for a while, and they've been complaining for activation. So, although they have provided different licensing terms, they didn't bother to inform the software of this fact.

SEEKING WORK - Knoxville, Tennessee (GMT -5) or remote

Front-end web developer and designer focusing on responsive design. I can also do some light back-end work with Python and Flask, if you don't need anything too serious.

I'm interested in working with startups, local businesses, and creatives.
