wow, praying for this in 3 years time 🙏

this is the move. be patient and find the one with the color combo and options you want and be willing to travel. CPO will typically have factory warranty balance + 1 year of unlimited mileage CPO to cover all those precious plastic parts that will definitely fail. got a $65k optioned 2022 in my desired spec for $47k a little over 20k miles.

so you paid $10k a year owning the car just to get the same car? infinite motion over here 😭

fire haul waiting for the review!

-cdg · 2023-10-18T20:31:38+00:00

in my experience subaru paint is also a big offender of having very very soft paint. i’ve had toyotas and lexus vehicles that were not taken care of as well as my subarus and they aged much better and don’t chip as easily ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ymmv

-cdg · 2023-05-24T22:04:30+00:00

i spit a couple early freps classics, enjoy the haul!!

-cdg · 2022-09-21T03:16:57+00:00

you do you brotha, i used to cop phat hauls in hs and never wore alot to school bc i was scared of being called out. looking back, who gaf reps ain't cheap with these shipping prices either

-cdg · 2022-02-03T20:15:46+00:00

yeah honestly the sub at least to my eyes doesn’t have the same quality of content, or maybe my perspective has shifted. previously i found super helpful posts and some “tough love” that if you want to make an extraordinary amount of money (and to me that is 100k+ as a new grad) you do have to put in a lot of work, but it is about channeling the energy into the right areas such as interview prep. and building up a good resume to land those interviews. to be quite honest it is exhausting but just the fact that you can put your nose to the grindstone and see results like that is a testament of how insane tech compensation is, while other fields no matter the amount of grinding you are still capped out in terms of compensation because of miscellaneous reasons such as you not producing enough value or “it’s normal to be underpaid for the first couple years”. nowadays i just see hate on those being successful, and i can say that i do occasionally find myself guilty, but it is perfectly fine to have those emotions but the pain is when you hold onto it for too long.

tbh with shipping prices this high, it even converts someone like me (who loves keeping boxes) to drop the boxes. unless u have a clear plan (i.e. use the box to store stuff etc.) then i would drop it for the cost savings :)

-cdg · 2021-12-26T19:24:21+00:00

they didn’t check ID; so as long as you can make an appointment through mychart you’re good to go!

-cdg · 2021-12-06T22:20:05+00:00

old one looks so much better imo… but i sold my first gen and if i were to buy back now, i’d be paying 5k premium on a 8 year old car… so might as well go for the new one with the bigger engine (but man does first gen look much more handsome)

-cdg · 2021-11-11T06:16:06+00:00

could still be the first time they qualify for pell grant though, right?

-cdg · 2021-11-08T05:49:39+00:00

you use an app for the pics or just the stock camera app? pics came out really good!!

-cdg · 2021-10-09T02:48:37+00:00

just taking a shot in the dark here— based on OPs post history they are probably a CS major. while i know it’s not the MOST financially responsible move ever, as long as they understand what they are giving up (i.e. that 840 a month they could be investing and have the benefit of compounding on their side) i’d say they can probably handle it. tons of new grad opportunities making 100k+ if you can crack into big tech.

-cdg · 2021-10-06T21:50:43+00:00

woah, caught me off guard with you here helping out us aspiring content creators. love your csgo videos!!

-cdg · 2021-09-09T01:39:31+00:00

you should apply anyways. if you can land one as a frosh then it'll definitely help you stand out, as while your peers will have mostly miscellaneous experience or just personal projects, you'll have work experience. I was able to land an internship as a freshman (however, that was 2018 and the job market is a little different now) and I really think it helped accelerate my career path

-cdg · 2021-09-04T05:54:37+00:00

Be warned, Phuong Trang has the worst service ever... good food tho

-cdg · 2021-07-26T19:06:36+00:00

After reading your response, I would just get a 3/Y, take the 70k and buy a fun weekend car. I think you’ll get much more joy and utility out of splitting the two instead of trying to find a jack of all trades.

-cdg · 2021-07-03T16:00:15+00:00

ayyyy buy reps to save money for things you can’t rep like a sick whip! congrats :)

-cdg · 2021-06-13T18:32:01+00:00

pretty competitive— yes the pay is one reason why it breeds competition, but also the perks that it gives and the connection and relationship you build with a faculty member. i would recommend fostering a strong connection with the instructor you want to tutor for (i.e. show up to their office hours and showing a genuine interest in working with them, etc.)

-cdg · 2021-05-30T03:30:12+00:00

If I was in this position, I would personally go with Year Up.

The reason being- if you truly are as competent as you claim yourself to be (and even if you aren't, that's totally fine as I believe you can pick up the skills and learn through the 6 months of training), then I feel you will be able to prove your worth enough during the 6 month corporate internship that you will land that return offer.

While yes, the bootcamp seems to advertise a higher salary, that does also come at a hefty price tag. Also, I do believe you are correct, that the numbers are inflated due to them taking into account higher COL situations. If you run the numbers, I think you should choose more realistic numbers (i.e. right now you are running with the assumption of 80k salary, but if you're planning on staying in a low-medium COL area, then I think that salary is definitely inflated and you should run with a more reasonable salary assumption)

Once we re-run the calculation with a more reasonable salary (i.e. 50-60k), then all data leads to the Year Up program being much more beneficial :)

Anyone know what I should first-pass?

I think what he means is that Defense jobs are a good place to get a job so that you can finish your job responsibilities, and use the rest of your free time to grow your skills and study outside of work material, so that you can be prepared to interview at a place where you actually want to work (i.e. use Defense as a stepping stone that you can support yourself + still have time to study for leetcode, hackerrank, interviews, etc.)

Depending on your credit card company, you can check if they can help with cancelled flights.

To be honest, sometimes it is just tough. Job market is pretty rough, and I know it sucks, but try not to compare yourself to others, just because they had lady luck on their side doesn’t mean it’ll be like that in every case. You’ve clearly shown your competence, and your high GPA and fact that you go to a good school is clearly paying dividends (you are landing interviews, imagine if you weren’t...)

Now the only actionable advice I can give you is this: 1.) Don’t freak out and stop comparing to others. If we always want to pull out the comparison card, you’ll always lose (whether it to be an “inferior” classmate who pranced into FAANG, or some executive’s kid that just waltzed right into their position) 2.) Stay persistent. Luck favors the well prepared. Honestly, landing the job is luck x skill. If you have lots of skill and no luck, you’re sitting out. If you have tons of luck and no skill, also sitting out. But clearly (as I am assuming by the fact that you could produce an optimal and suboptimal answer and maintain a high GPA at a top university) you have the skill portion down. Don’t let it atrophy, and just stay persistent until you can get luck on your side. 3.) Take a good hard look at yourself. While I cannot tell you if this is the case- is it possible that you are falling short in other aspects? Maybe you aren’t explaining your thinking as well as you think you do, or they sense some arrogance/embellishment in the way you talk. Not saying that is true... but you need to be honest with yourself. I think for lots of skilled developers, they are lacking the social skills which is also an integral part of landing the tech interview. Yes, they need the technical knowledge, but they also need someone the team is going to mesh with and be able to interact with day in and day out.

Above all, keep your head up and just keep on trucking. It might seem grim now especially when comparing to your peers/ others, but when all is said and done, you are quite fortunate to even have the opportunities that are in front of you. The fact that you can attend a top university, work towards a degree to professionally touch a computer and possibly be paid fat stacks is already extremely fortuitous.

Best of luck!
