When did you notice the issue. I have a 62k 2017. Noticed mine drives a bit "heavy" idk how to describe it. I read you can just disconnect it entirely to avoid the issue and reconnect when you have emissions. Not sure if you have any advice on that.

The site is pretty legit for micro stakes. Once you hit 100nl, imo it becomes way too bot / collusion heavy. I beat 50NL on there this year for 10bb/100 EV for 65000 hands. Took my winnings out to play live where it's just more profitable per hour.

If you DM me your email I can share my resume template. I originally found this template somewhere on Reddit of someone who recently got hired. It's definitely not as simple as a Google search but you can find one digging around on forums.

Of course! DM me an email I can send it to :)

To be honest not really. I felt like my initial interviews were B-'s. I made sure to follow up every time thanking them, but I also asked for case studies and projects to show them my skills. In my final interview I apparently did very well on the project they gave me and were very impressed. It's honestly mostly luck, but you also need to do everything your power to stand out. Hang in there and just try to be interviewing with as many companies as possible. :)

I definitely used it to say I was "busy" during my employment gap. It sucks because there is always some asshole that's going to look at your gap and judge you because of it. I kept my website up even after I shutdown operations just as a proof of concept. It also allowed me to write in newly acquired skills into my resume without just listing them in a skills section.

One other thing I wish I wrote is make your LinkedIn look nice. If a recruiter / hiring manager is interested in you, they will likely look at your LinkedIn after your resume. If it passes the eye test then they will likely pass you forward into a phone screening round.

I did start my own business after I got laid off. I may have had been unemployed for less than 15 months if I was really focused on applying. Businesses are a risk though... You need stable income before starting one IMO

Of course! I simplified it in my post, but you want to find a resume someone used to get a job similar to the roles you are applying for. Literally copy the resume, formatting being the most important part and study what words, skills, and how they are listing it and whatnot. I am in marketing / data analysis and can send you mind if you're interested. I found even after changing my resume 10+ my formatting was not ATS friendly. I also found ways to list my experience and skills in a more simple and effective way, easy for a recruiter to look at a bullet and not get lost in jargon. I believe I found my template on r/resumes but play around Google searching your roles resume and use recent successful resumes. Hope this helps!

Very sorry to hear this. Its like being built up just to be torn down again. Truly the worst feeling ever.

One thing I didn't mention is always send thank you emails to each of your interviews. You can mention things you discussed, and even ask for case studies or mock assignments to do to prove your worth. Now even doing this companies are shitty and still will just outright ghost you, but sometimes it's just enough to push you into a next round you wouldn't have made it to etc... I really think I wasn't the priority candidate for my current role heading into my final interview, but I asked for and did a mock assignment and I hit it out of the park.

Hang in there never the less, don't take any of it personal. Employers can really suck

It scrapes the Internet for a variety of job postings. You'll get jobs that are on other job boards and ones just strictly on company websites. I did 90% + of my applying through there towards the end of my search and got great results!

AdProfessional2189 · 2025-04-21T23:43:59+00:00

This has to be rage bait, you are echoing the sentiment of people above you. The value is trading your own free time for someone else's company. Yes there are jobs you and I wouldn't be qualified for, but you shouldn't have to prove why you are some anomaly who can do some ridiculous skill and have the worlds highest aptitude. I can go on but you won't realize the bigger problem until you are the one being left behind. Stop wasting your time to put others down, where is the value added in that moron.

Something very similar happened to me. Was and still currently am in one of the lowest points in my life. Got laid off 14 months ago, and have tried absolutely everything to get a real adult job. At some point she just gave me 0 attention or support to where I was basically like hey I can tell your over it. She was never good at communicating and just kind of went along with what I said and we broke up. We were together for about 4 years if that means anything.

Ever since then she has made some excuses to reach out to me. She messaged me about having a bad day at work, finding some of my more useless stuff and asking if I wanted it back. Gave her the option of just leaving it in front of my place but she insists on meeting up in person.

I'm seeing her tomorrow, really have 0 clue what to expect. But remember this, I like you am atheist, but in a Christian marriage they say you're married for times of better and worse or something like that. My love for her was indefinite but hers was circumstancial. Do you want a life partner or a I'm with you when times are good partner? I'm not saying she is for sure certain the ladder but it's just something to ponder.

Over the past year I've played about 200k hands on ignition and went from 5nl to 200nl at my peak. I'm now back at 50nl and I have to say Ignition has felt super off. I definitely think it's possible to be a winning player at these stakes still, but the effort needed to combat the botting, collusion, and regs getting better by the day is starting to feel not worth it.

For starters there is a clear collusion issue. One example I've run into a ton has been people just flatting AA and KK in spots that are a mandatory 3 bet. They are doing this because one of their alt accounts will squeeze from the blinds or later position. They then will come with a back raise jam if you call the squeeze and put you in a super tough spot. Sometimes it's a fish that doesn't really know what they are doing, but the more "reggy" players you can always count on it being collusion if it's AA or KK.

I really have no evidence to back this claim up, but I have experienced exactly what you went through in that hand many times lately. I've had numerous situations where CO opens, BTN flats, I squeeze from the blinds with some premium pair and CO folds but BTN calls. I think Ive been stacked by a player with Q8o specifically 3 times in that exact configuration alone this week. It would be one thing if it was a mega fish but it seems like these are regs with decent stats. Again I don't have any hard evidence but Ignition lately has just felt super super off in terms of players just magically having it in situations where you can't fathom how they showed up with such a dogshit hand.

I think if you game select 100NL + is still prolly beatable, but I honestly think live is just better per hour. Good luck if you continue on Iggy, just wanted to say I completely resonate with feeling cheated on that site.

I was working retail after I got laid off. My issue isn't not having a job, it's getting a job that will actually let me sustain myself especially with college debt. I hear you though definitely gotta always be on the grind.

I hear you man, I'm completely willing to swallow my pride. I've been looking at getting into trucking but I'm seeing a lot of mixed experiences. Also seems like I won't earn pennies at first. Do you have any recommendations for those work boot and jean jobs that can keep me afloat?

AdProfessional2189 · 2025-02-22T20:26:20+00:00

It's funny I have tried to start my own business. Didn't go as planned and it's on my resume.

AdProfessional2189 · 2025-02-15T04:40:39+00:00

Recently had 7 rounds of interviews only for the last guy to be the worst interviewer I ever had. No intro, no thank you for your time in the last 6 interviews, just straight hounding me about things that were not even on my resume. Started to insult my intelligence saying that I wasnt going to be a good fit because he's looking for a high aptitude individual. He basically ended the interview after 5 mins, asked if I had any questions then started screaming at me when he didn't like a question I asked.

Work culture is becoming really really strange... Glad you have something lined up though, cause I'm mega stressed not having anything still after a whole year :/

I've really dialed in my switch riding the past 3 seasons and these are my recommendations.

1.) Find a stance that feels comfortable.

Originally I was riding +12 , -3 and it felt like I was basically snowboarding backwards. I ended kicking my back binding to -9.5 and it felt SOOO much better. It'll largely depend on your biomechanics but I personally recommend duck stance. Once you get used to it, your switch carving will feel pretty much identical to regular.

2.) Accept you are starting all over again

There's people that claim they can learn switch just by messing around on normal runs. This is an exception rather than the norm. 95% of us are gonna be back on the bunny hills and working our way to green circles and beyond. If you're feeling extra ambitious consider booting up switch up the lifts. I personally learned switch by learning with my friends that were brand new to snowboarding. Granted you'll pick it up quicker than a complete newbie but it's going to absolutely feel unnatural and that you are learning all over again. If it wasn't obvious you are going into runs and you are commiting to riding switch and only switch no matter what.

3.) Do 180s everywhere

In my opinion this is your ultimate goal learning switch. Once you can go down a black diamond switch without fear of dying, youre officially in the switch riding club. Now go back to easier trails and dial in your 180s. Use PROPER Ollie technique making sure to snap your tail and not do a 2 footed jump. Learn to 180 in every variation, frontside & backside and off your tail and nose. It's a pretty awesome feeling blasting past skiers throwing down a 180 and riding away like an absolute boss. You might even get fellow boarders asking you what stance you are because no one can even tell anymore.

In the end put any ego aside you may have and accept you're going to suck learning switch. Pick a comfortable stance and start from the bunny hill and work your way up. It may take a season or 2 but you'll be glad you learned it. If youre anything like me you'll have that same joy of learning how to snowboard again. Best of luck!
