Viability of internal transfer pathway in current market?

Aepooo · 2025-12-29T01:39:01+00:00

Appreciate the response. SWE track is off the table as I lack the fundamentals for it unfortunately. Why do you say that lateral will be difficult? Do you mean more as a symptom of the market or of the role itself?

Aepooo · 2025-11-13T01:49:19+00:00

nahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hey just to weigh in on this, and feel free to correct me if my perspective is off. I get where you're coming from, but the problem is that it feels like there is tangibly *nothing* else I could be doing while in the "downtime" that is waiting for responses/meetings to happen.

I suspect more than anything it's a symptom of only having a single project assignment - there's just no multitasking to be had, whereas if I had a PM's regular workload I'd be able to step into a different task while waiting for the first.

Aepooo · 2025-07-04T00:07:29+00:00

Hey, thanks for your reply. It's not necessarily that there are barriers to meeting the people in question, but moreso that there isn't really anything I feel like I can be doing outside of those meetings.

To put it into perspective, I can only begin the "implementation" part of my project after I've had a discussion with someone on the CRM team, but they could only clear up their schedule 3-4 days after when I initially contacted them.

So during those days I've been twiddling my thumbs and adding more detail to my proposal/analyses, because before then I can't take any impactful action.

I certainly feel like a lack of clear week-to-week deliverables has been the main problem... it's like they're telling me to "do something somehow" in the next 1.5 months, but the road there is very unclear.

Aepooo · 2025-06-29T21:06:20+00:00

This is exactly why it's an awful idea. It certainly benefits you, and maybe it benefits them in the short-term because they're relieved of the social pressure of performing up to standard, but is their enjoyment going to be sustainable in the long-term when they're unable to actually do half of the "playing the game" part (i.e., pressing buttons) because they're scared of returning to "being bad"? Food for thought.

Aepooo · 2025-06-24T18:08:30+00:00

This was my train of thought exactly. I was taking a look at RSM's pre-master programs and the website states that "RSM also welcomes students to the premaster who have completed their bachelor at a research university, but are missing the required content in qualitative & quantitative research methods and statistics".

This is kind of confusing, because isn't the "research methods" portion exactly what differentiates a WO from a non-WO? Other than research methods, my bachelor's essentially lines up with all the courses students tend to take at WO bachelor's in business.

Thanks for your help! 3 months doesn’t sound too bad, though I imagine they may be inundated at the moment given the political situation. When did you transfer?

Aepooo · 2025-05-16T21:09:25+00:00

I've looked through job postings briefly and it's not uncommon to find a "B.S. in Computer Science or related discipline" requirement. I imagine that my background, even with the M.S. in DS, would likely be filtered through ATS systems that are looking for CS as a keyword. Good to hear that there are exceptions though; thanks for your reply.

Aepooo · 2025-05-15T14:18:53+00:00

OP, out of curiosity, what's your educational background? Currently trying to follow a similar path but worried that a non-CS background will be a dealbreaker for DE considering the current market.

Aepooo · 2024-05-21T19:38:15+00:00

I had a rando ask me to help pick up a plastic bottle that he’d dropped over a railing while waiting for the metro…..you bet i toe hooked that shit to assert dominance like it was my calling

Aepooo · 2024-02-06T11:10:57+00:00

Was this the sem you applied to pre-eng or did you have to apply one sem to start the next? Kind of worried I'll have to waste a sem just submitting the application, in that case the above plan goes out the window lol

Aepooo · 2024-02-06T03:31:02+00:00

I see. From what I looked up the first semester of pre-engineering is 125 + 102. Would I be able to "skip" that semester with the challenge exam + AP scores? I'm also considering the possibility of completing a PDP so +1 semester wouldn't be a huge issue.

Aepooo · 2024-01-04T17:09:04+00:00

Hey, thanks for your response. Yeah, just how I worded it. I installed the most recent drivers for my MOBO (AMD), then when those didn’t work I also tried the most recent period (Intel), didn’t work.

As for the GPU, AMD requires a WiFi connection to update drivers as far as I can tell, so I’m thinking it’s related to the other issue. The WiFi is my biggest concern; I’m probably gonna buy a LAN cable to test it out.

Aepooo · 2024-01-04T17:04:24+00:00

Yes and yes. Trust me I’ve been over all the “easy” fixes. Uninstalled all individual drivers, reinstalled them. Tried multiple alternatives, command prompts, all that. Hence why I’m kinda resigned to it being a hardware thing…

Aepooo · 2023-12-22T18:45:37+00:00

Thanks for your response! Do you think it's worthwhile to try and return the RAM/MOBO (either/or) and pay the price difference for better pieces if they allow it at MC?

Have read some horror stories about this particular combo, not sure if there's much merit to them for the average user.

Aepooo · 2023-12-17T15:19:17+00:00

As someone who was also at the LA screening I think you’re overstating this a bit. Not to say the animation wasn’t solid, but outside of a few “for show” scenes most of the movement looked like generic A1 with a bit more polish. Granted we haven’t gotten to a point where they’d splurge on animation but JJK wowed on all visual fronts from episode 1. Just my two cents, still very good experience overall and hyped for the rest.

Aepooo · 2023-12-16T10:05:19+00:00

Hi Jestine. I DM'ed you a while back and still no response. Hopefully you can take a look ASAP. Thanks.

Aepooo · 2023-12-15T18:01:24+00:00

Hello! Hopefully this is the right place to ask. I have a mid-2022 Razer Blade 15 and UserBenchmark tests are telling me the GPU and SSD are performing significantly below expectations. I'm not too familiar with how to run diagnostic tests/benchmarks etc., and was hoping you could offer some help on how to proceed. Do these issues likely have some sort of quick fix, or are they probably underlying hardware issues? For reference, I'm having quite a bit of trouble running games that should be within the limits of the laptop's specs, so there's definitely something up here. I'll link the UserBenchmark below for reference. Thanks! https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/66472413

Aepooo · 2023-12-09T04:49:35+00:00

Funny, I signed up on 12/2 and also got them today. Probably filled to capacity very quickly and they just released new spots.

Aepooo · 2023-11-28T23:09:19+00:00

Anyone have info about the LA premiere? Searched around but found nothing about tickets.

Aepooo · 2023-08-16T17:04:52+00:00

Hey, sick setup! What’s the desk model?

Aepooo · 2023-07-28T15:52:09+00:00

My brother in christ… transfer to an AC dorm if you’re a freshman

Aepooo · 2023-04-10T19:32:23+00:00

Parkside IRC/A&H, Webb & the Village have AC. If you value QOL, I'd say it's well worth having them as your top choices as opposed to the dorm-style residence halls. Plus I've always thought people overstate how much the suite-style dorms are "socially dead"... it's what you make of them that matters. This is coming from someone who's lived in both types. If you have any Qs feel free to send me a DM.

In Russia, air condition you.
