3 out of 4 seasons are good/great. Winter does suck.
Summer is incredible other than a week or two where the temperature goes into the 90s or even 100. It’s really bright and sunny for the most part.
Early fall is awesome- some of the best fall colors I’ve ever seen, but by late fall it starts getting really overcast.
Spring has some nice days, but can also be overcast.
Winter is really dark and gloomy- I got seasonal depression for my first couple of winters. But eventually you learn to embrace it.

We do get a lot more sunshine compared to the UK. Portland gets 2300 hours (slightly less than Naples or Rome) of sunshine a year, Seattle gets 2100 hours. London and Dublin get around 1600 and 1400 hours respectively.

Sounds like a warmer south coast kind of weather, they get around 2000 hours in some places but rarely with very hot weather. We've had a hot spell recently but worst was 2022.

You'd have to go to the Channel Islands to get 2100+ here, but that's basically France.

Catering indian to the office is a terrible idea, on many levels

That's how they get you, lull you into a false sense of security.

You know what's worse? Working with Indians.

I am self-taught in IT, I teach myself at home, YouTube is generally the best source for learning and is full of Indians producing a lot of tutorials, except for the accent which is a bit difficult to understand, the quality of the content is top notch. I have gained great info and knowledge from Indians on youtube.

There are a lot of Indians in pharma here in the northeast. I like working with the vast majority of them. There are a few that are absolutely insufferable personality wise and occasionally one that is insufferable odor wise but for the most part, they’re very professional.

I have noticed infighting within each other tho, can be funny.

Indians here all drive 25 in a 35 and 105 in a 65. Ridiculous people

I work(ed) with dozens of them over the past three years. I have mixed feelings. They seem very friendly and are very cool to hang out with. However, when it comes to work, I can't say I'm a fan. Quite often they are stabbing in the back while it's hard to have their trust. They are very political and friendly but they like doing things in their own way despite guidelines (and they fuck up most of the time). Our top management didn't seem reliable as well since they had some hidden projects so they were accused of money theft and stealing database as well. We also had issues with odor of some lol, it was really hard to deal with that. They give high importance to their education and from what I've seen they only shine in Excel. They are obsessed with numbers but quite often don't see the bigger picture/long term goals. I have not seen much depth, though.

I've noticed this too, and out of absolutely nowhere. It's so bizarre and funny as well.

Agreed about the numbers thing.
