Most prone to a layoff (rank these 4 companies). I know it is a weird question, appreciate all the types of responses. Thanks! Note: roles such as an SWE or MLE or DS or AIE (somewhere one could work for a decade or so lol)

Best company to retire from when you are 50 or earlier (company where u can work for 20 years or so and retire)? (rank these!). Weird question it is, appreciate all the types of responses. Thanks! P.S. as an SWE or MLE or DS or AIE

Gonna sign a lease where the Base rent is 1250/month and other costs (resident package, wifi internet, renters insurance, slot for parking etc) comes around 150/month. Utilities I can expect around 150-300/month as per the apt manager, which includes water, gas and electricity services. Size of the apt is a lil over 800sf. So the monthly total is around 1550-1700/month (around 1650/month average over the months). Planning to save as much as possible, so wanted to know if this is the norm here in Austin (I am from the northeast, so kinda expensive there at home and the reason for the shift). P.S. This is located in South Austin! (Chose South Austin coz as per the research I have done it is safer than the downtown/east Austin area + closer to downtown and the austin airport, takes around 25mins drive to Both sides. And the crowd is a lil more youthful compared to the west and north sides, I am 24 so). Just wanted some thoughts on this move, and want to hear unfiltered opinions even if they are harsh, thanks in advance to everyone who is open to sharing their experience with me!
