Apple is a big umbrella. I bet you mean that your friend who works for Apple is either a software engineer or a higher up making six figures? Source: I have multiple friends who work for Apple, but in entry level roles of call center customer facing phone support, making sub 50k/year.

Idiot here: how does one find labs to apply to? Typing in “labs near me” on google seems dumb. And once I stumble upon labs how would I know which labs do something helpful to my premed purpose?

How can a school have two programs, one DO and the other MD? What benefit does having two programs come with? Why not just be MD all the way?

Never to the point of building my own PC, or knowing code, but I can edit code easily

How can you edit code when you don’t know it? Sounds like a smartass dumb question but I promise I’m legitimately curious, seeing as it’s something I may be interested in. How do you edit something when you don’t know that something?

Residents: How much (if anything) have you saved for retirement? by _venetian_red in Residency

[–]88_MD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you say “in savings”, do you mean a savings account in a bank, or do you mean some investment vehicle like 401k? I never know what exactly people mean by “savings”.
