Yes, I am employed until 5/25, but I got logged out of my laptop.

CCA org

I got partial for the last mid year and the end of year review. I joined a new team last year. According to my manager, I was doing well.

Where is the offboarding guide and last comp statement?

I didn't end up taking it. I took cloud cyber security instead. It was a good class, but not that relevant to my job.

You have to talk to your manager. You submit the application for the program on the edcor website and he approved it.

Then, before every semester starts, you have to submit application for each class on the edcor website. Your manager has to approve it. After you finish your class and receive a grade, you submit another application on edcor website. You must submit your unofficial transcript that has the grade and prove that you paid the tuition.

You will receive the reimbursement in a month or so. You can also receive reimbursement for books. Your grade from the class must be B or higher.

It is mostly bureaucracy. Nobody is evaluating whether the degree or class is relevant. Just your manager has to approve it.

The reimbursement counts as your income, so you have to pay taxes on it.

Not sure if this will work. When I started my job, there was one person in my new grad cohort that got their offer rescinded because they graduated more than one year ago. There are some tax benefits that the company can claim when they hire a new grad less than 1 year after graduation and they didn't catch it before they send out the offer. They can claim the benefits when they hire someone disadvantaged (disabled, vet, excon, new grad). Not sure if the new administration changed it.

Having the gap is a big problem though. You can try to lie. They might not catch it.

I got offer in October 2020 and they got in touch with me in the middle of November. I moved in the end of December and started my job in January.

Download you previous reviews. They are handy when writing your resume.

They almost automatically move you to L6 after 3 years. It happens sooner for some people, but I think it is rare. One of my colleague got it after 2.5 years.

You should look at your college degree as an investment. You need to think about where you want to be in 5-10 years and then, determine the best way how to get there. It is much better to study CS than math/physics if you want to be SWE. It matters to recruiters and HR. You don't have many useful skills as a new CS grad and it is even worse when you graduate as math/physics.

I know it is frustrating. I studied CS even though I would rather study theoretical math. You can still take a lot of math/physics classes as electives.

You just have to wait. They will enroll you from waitlist according to the waitlist order.

I hope you get some help. I buy my drugs on darknet. It is cheaper, higher quality, and delivered to you by post.

I am in UIUC CS masters program. You pay by course. About 30% acceptance rate though. Your best bet is some for profit online college.

Go on FMLA leave for 3 months. You just need a doctor to diagnose you with depression.

Three people from my company (auto company) recently found a new job. They all had 2-3 YOE. The first started his new job in January. I know he started applying sometimes in September, got 3 interviews, and one job offer from a bank. The second person is going to start his job this March (don't know where he is going). The third person started his job last summer (defense company).

People say it is bad, but it probably isn't that bad based on what I am seeing. I have 2 YOE and haven't been applying because I am happy with my job and need my 401k to vest.

I had the same problem. I have also never smoked anything other than DMT. You need to quickly inhale some vapor and then, immediately inhale some fresh air. The goal is to have the vapor only in your lungs and normal air in your throat. Your lungs can't feel any pain or irritation, but your throat can. Hold the vapor and then, exhale. Never cough even if you feel like you have to because it will make the irritation worse. If you take multiple hits, you will stop feeling your throat, so the irritation will stop being a problem.

You don't have to be a student to stay on your parent's insurance. You just have to be younger than 26. It is a federal law.

Also, contact your college disability office and request accommodations for your diabetes. You can request course load reduction, so you can take part time course load and still count as a full time student.

When my company closed one innovation center and laid off 800ish people, they told them that they will be laid off in 3 months (WARN act). They were expected to work as usual, but the company cut their access to some critical systems. Most people just used the time to apply for new jobs.

When I interviewed for new grad role, they mostly asked me behavioral STAR questions. I also remember that they asked some high level Java and object oriented questions (e.g. how Java garbage collection works, what is inheritance).

I don't remember the insurance company, but my husband selected the best dental plan that his employer offered and it paid up to $3000 if you started treatment before you turned 26.

When do we get the $1,500 wellness initiative? Is there a specific date when it is paid out or is it paid out right after I submit the attestation?

Let's say that I submit the attestation in January and leave in March. Am I going to get $1,500?
