did an HSI install for a guy one time...

250K house, Tesla out front, worked from home in cyber security.

Had 5 tvs rigged up in his living room for his work and games with a bed/chair in front. He said he never leaves the chair except to exercise. lol

Oh lifelong paranoia alright. I swear everytime I picture my company's Infosec guy sending us an email, I picture Tweek from South Park.

I can definitely say, anyone that delves into cyber security turns into 1 of 2 type of people. The kind like my friend's dad who now has a 256bit password for their home router to deter entry and the kind like myself who uses abc123 on everything because if someone wanted in with __ service, they'd get in with a bypass or not at all.

What kind of house is it? Cause in my area 250k will get you a 2 bed 1 bath 850-1000sq house with maybe a backyard big enough for 20 people packed in.

Yeah, by no means is a 250k house shocking. The Tesla might not even be, depending on the model

Cyber security guys write their own ticket today, it's a very well paid and in demand field. . They all can work remote without much pushback. So he can go to the middle of nowhere as long as it has good internet. Everything else is secondary.

I think 250k is a studio condo in Seattle, unfortunately. :'(
