Drive a 2011 civic si and I've been starting in 2nd gear the last couple of days. I feel like since my car is a six speed the time I'm in 1st is only for a second or two before I switch into 2nd. Finding that it's easier/smoother to start in 2nd than 1st, but is this damaging anything or bad practice to do?

Got laid off from my tech job a few weeks ago, job market is brutal right now. Currently sitting at 59 jobs applied on Indeed in the last two weeks with only 1 giving an interview. Any tech homies know of locations hiring, or think tech is just hard to hire for right now? Considering a switch to the auto industry at this point
