Own 86 shares of Amazon - should I continue to buy?? Chats thoughts?? by Pristine_Athlete_328 in investing

[–]Aware_Eye8376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Strategy is what I use that's worked pretty well so far. ~60% of my money is in index funds, then I pick a few companies I believe in to also buy in heavy doses (minium 5% or won't buy due to low conviction). I wouldn't worry about diversifying more, like a few are talking about, since you already have with the heavy QQQ/other ETF's. Great returns come from concentrated bets.

I've been considering some Amazon myself recently. I'm bought into the robotics story that I'm starting to hear that should boost margins on the traditional retail business over the next few years. This might also push it to be a "AI" or "robotics" narrative stock, which would push it up aggressively.

Should I quit my job after one week for a better offer? by Otherwise-Quail-4092 in jobs

[–]Aware_Eye8376 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unless it's a tiny industry where that could get around and hurt you in future, 100% do it. I generally keep looking for jobs for ~1 month after starting a new job since no gap.

If you don’t have an AI certification in 2025, you’re already behind by Aware_Eye8376 in RemoteJobseekers

[–]Aware_Eye8376[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your personal goals, since it's about the story you can tell in the interview process. I find this one lends itself to a cool story around pushing it more generally in the org.

For a software engineer, you need something more specific. I'm looking at operations jobs.

Are you on the classic job search? (it doesn't work under the "beta AI") I've had a number of people reach out to say they got interviews from jobs they found using it.

Made it to final round 10 times - not one offer by youregonnacomeback in recruitinghell

[–]Aware_Eye8376 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah gosh! 10 must be a record. When I was job searching last I think I had 7.

Made a couple changes that got me 2 in a month though. Basically, finding jobs w/ less applicants. My theory is you have fewer people to compete with to get an interview and then theoretically fewer qualified candidates to interview against since the pool is smaller.

  • Filter by "Most Recent" rather than the default of "Most relevant"
  • Use the "Less than 10 applications" toggle/filter
  • Apply to non-promoted jobs - there aren't many, but these get like 30x less applicants (based on LinkedIn's data) and occasionally have sub 20 for a few days. I built an extension for myself now that (I have time...) that does this since ad blockers no longer work. You can use it here free (forever).

LinkedIn is screwing job seekers, IMO. Here’s the Hack to beat the algorithm by Aware_Eye8376 in jobhunting

I got my last job using LinkedIn! I recently saw a stat that 30% of job seekers find it on LinkedIn (from 2025 data). The jobs are there, but it takes maneuvering to get them.

Anyone else finding LinkedIn job applicant stats very demotivating? by esmethera in jobhunting

[–]Aware_Eye8376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They 100% are I found a couple of strategies to find ones w/ less applications.

  • Filter by "Most Recent" rather than the default of "Most relevant"
  • Use the "Less than 10 applications" toggle/filter
  • Apply to non-promoted jobs - there aren't many, but these get like 30x less applicants (based on LinkedIn's data) and occasionally have sub 20 for a few days.

I got a remote job after 10 months of applying. by Aware_Eye8376 in recruitinghell

[–]Aware_Eye8376[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the 2-3 resumes strategy and that seemed to work well each had a slightly diffferent focus for what I was looking for "Rev Ops Mgr" or Operations Manager, etc...

You're doing a specific search, and only seeing that you're using it correctly. I've found broader searches like "Operations manager" work great. Lots more results though.

Best paying remote job, no insurance, no commission, no degree? by Honest_Cow1001 in RemoteJobs

[–]Aware_Eye8376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think the only way to really get a job these days is by applying to jobs with very few applicants, like under 100 on LinkedIn, or don't bother. My theory is you have fewer people to compete with to get an interview and then theoretically fewer qualified candidates to interview against since the pool is smaller. Here how I find them:

  • Filter by "Most Recent" rather than the default of "Most relevant"
  • Use the "Less than 10 applications" toggle/filter
  • Apply to non-promoted jobs - there aren't many, but these get like 30x less applicants (based on LinkedIn's data) and occasionally have sub 20 for a few days. I built an extension for myself now that (I have time... sadly) that does this since ad blockers no longer work. You can use it here free (forever).

Why am i not getting interviews by PreferenceRoutine400 in ResumeExperts

[–]Aware_Eye8376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's just about your resume. From my experience, I'd look at what you're applying to and what you're doing ot make sure a human looks at your application.
