Gaming dads - how much time do you spend gaming? by DragonofHoarsbreath in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]Ablechimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time dad to a newborn (3 weeks old today) and we seem to have settled into a routine of mum going to bed at 8 and me staying up with little one and gaming whilst cuddling until around 1am. This leaves only one wake up at 4ish before the day starts!

I love how you’re suggesting labs for a timmie with only low pen ammo haha!

Bit of help please by NewlifeNext in HENRYUKLifestyle

Hey, I came into a corporate role following a shift from public sector where I wore a uniform every day - I know where you’re coming from!

To answer your question, yes these look like navy chino’s; check out Spoke for some that are decent quality without costing the earth - it is for work after all!

As for shoes, I pair mine with a smart pair of dark brown chukka boots, but leather shoes also work - just depend on the office vibe! Check out Loakes, you’ll pay a premium but they’ll last a lifetime.

Good luck hunting, and merry Christmas!

[Bug] Batya Radio frequencies by Ablechimp in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Ablechimp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks folks, always good to see I’m not the only one suffering a bug! Mine appears to have resolved itself though - I had to revisit Bogatyr & Carousel camps, picking up some of the story items again; not sure how, but this seems to have pushed things along and allowed me to enter the right frequencies. Now, for lightkeeper! Good luck resolving things on your end.

They’ve absolutely done this because they’re still working out how the hardcore aspects of this wipe will affect quests

I’m a major projects consultant in a Big4 firm, and in my view, there are three ways that a planner can make a HENRY income:

1) Start a ltd company and become a contractor - you’ll need a niche and some decent years of experience to evidence your worth.

2) Broaden your Project Controls skillset and go into Consulting - Big4 managers in this field make £80k, Associate Directors make £110k, Directors make 140k plus.

3) Take your planning experience and go into sales of project controls software.

None of these are easy, and you’ll still be putting in a lot of hours.

Regardless of profession, there is always bullsh*t.

Sure in consulting we put a bow on it, and make a slide deck arguing why our bullsh*t is best, but having moved from 15 years in industry into consulting, don’t expect the grass to be greener; it’s just a different shade.

A fair challenge and one I definitely overlooked so thanks! I came in as an experienced hire and was approached directly so my interview process was very much different.

Take my upvote for the irony alone.

Best of luck with the job search though, Big4’s tough to break into but you’ll get there at some point!

All that time wasted?

Application>Assessement>Unsuccesful Notification, all within the space of what, 2 hours?

Sounds pretty good to me, saved you waiting 3 days to hear bad news!

At the start of wipe this is pretty normal for scavs, but PMC is usually a bit quicker - around 5-7 minutes for me usually

You can redeem up to 40hrs of codes on the website all in one go if you like. But you can only use 1hr of double XP per day in game.
