Tech + med is really the best combo

  1. Got married M1 year and our tax bills went way down from married filing jointly since med school = zero income 🙌
  2. Will have moved three times (once for M1, once for PGY1 prelim, once next month for PGY2), I don't even care because as a SWE we touch grass once a month and can work remote sooooo does it even matter what city it is
  3. I fix her computer issues / pay med school tuition and she recommends me meds
  4. I am net negative for society and she's net positive so together we are moral neutral 🇨🇭 which is A-ok
  5. Her income goes up right as I hit peak burnout / job enshittification -> as we age, med job is stable while tech careers fall off. I'll probably work for the government or some chill nonprofit
  6. she has tea from the toxic surgeons and I have tea from the toxic tech bros
  7. THERE IS SOME ANTI SYNERGY. Sometimes I finish work at 5am (yay oncall) but she needs to wake up to round and we fight for sink space. like ma'am I know there's sick people needing a doctor but I really gotta brush my teeth to sleep now I have a meeting in 5h

Rare med career + med spouse synergy 🙌 we really highrolled here lmao. early game support + late game carry let's goooo
