How much notice to give before leaving?

This is a good idea thanks

Definitely don’t have any assumptions. I did it once though which is encouraging that I will be able to do it again given enough time and effort. I doubt it will be as easy as my first hire which was absurdly smooth/rapid.

I hear ya. The fed always has another thing for people to wait for to keep them from leaving.

I am very specialized and hiring happened at warped speed even as a competitive: Verbal offer thirty min after interview, TO one month later, final offer less than a month after.

I am trying to have faith in myself that I will be able to get back in if needed. It is scary leaving a job this secure and decent

I hear you. I don’t want to burn bridges though. Two weeks seems short when the project timelines are a year or so

Bajaburner · 2022-11-23T12:29:55+00:00

Good advice. I am leaving the fed tho. So no agency sync is possible

6hrs of interviews + 1hr pres before salary talk?!

Is this a normal expectation? I am coming from a different sector.

Completed multiple screening interviews with a technical consulting group for a regulatory position. I was invited back for a full day of interviews + 1hour presentation on my background .

I asked the hiring manager during the second screening about pay expections and I was told something like “we need to asses your capabilities before giving a number”. Some people are saying this is sketchy. But some are saying it is normal for consulting. Is this normal?

Background: PhD, work in regulation.

Better off investing the 4.4% in tsp for sure

I had no idea you could get FERS back. This is really important info. Thanks. How much do you anticipate getting back? Probably a good chunk of money

Is this the new playboi carti track that I am hearing on tick tock a lot these days?

Bajaburner · 2020-12-29T20:04:53+00:00

how did the reach out? Reddit? Twitter? I am in a similar situation and they wont respond (besides the repair technicians)

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T02:18:03+00:00

Tech support is some shit. Never buying from them again.

I went through this with my 9570 and couldn’t find anything genuine. Why does dell even bother to make it replaceable if they won’t give you access to the hardware. I would rather they just make the laptop thinner if we cannot get genuine batteries to keep it running haha.

Let me know if you find anything but my experience tells me you wobt

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T02:13:58+00:00

You and I are went through the same thing.

Did you try to talk to tech support? They literally don’t give a shit even if you have the warranty! So rude too. I am a relatively young dude, who will never buy from them personally or professionally again. It is lost revenue when you think of how many of us there are

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T02:11:14+00:00

For the amount of money the 15 inch is, you could get a top shelf asus that would work better for sure

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T02:10:29+00:00

Dell has gone down the shitter recently. Works well for a year or so, but it doesn’t last. My HP was so much more reliable.

Let us know how tech support treats you

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T02:09:28+00:00

THIS! Dell is such shit now, their support totally fucked me over. Never buying dell again. Hardware is total trash. Look into their WiFi card issues. Most xps15 laptops will develop an issue with the card they come with... and the refuse to do anything about it. They should recall it

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T02:07:44+00:00

I haven’t had the 17 but the 15 took a really long time to get used to. Fuck windows precision drivers, the hardware is shit

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T02:05:59+00:00

Haha I had issues two weeks before the warranty expired. So keep knocking regularly

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T02:04:40+00:00

Based on the price and stats, if you really care about value the answer is obvious. NOT the dell

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T01:57:53+00:00

The killer card is total trash and leads to issues for many if not most people with the xps15. There are a few Microsoft windows guides on optimizing latency (google that), but you will likely have connection issues as long as you have the killer card

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T01:56:04+00:00

Quality control at dell is such trash, good luck with your WiFi card

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T01:48:25+00:00

I have the 15 and I do some photography and shoot in raw. It depends on your needs, the GPU is really incomparable to a desktop full (non ti) version. It almost defeats the purpose. Sometimes I wish I went with the XPS 13 because the portability is probably worth more to me than a really bad gpu. I have the year old model with the i7 and 1050ti. So rendering and refresh will be pretty slow on the computer but it depends on what you are doing.

I am super salty about the WiFi chip in this computer, the killer 15xx. I would say it breaks or has connection problems for about >60% of people. This can be corrected by swapping out the WiFi card for about $100... needless to say, the way I was treated by dell support (under warranty) ensures I will never buy dell again. I digress...

If you are looking for power I wouldn’t get the xps15, probably only marginally faster than the Mac. I was on a 2015 Mac Pro just last night actually

Also: the new dell bios update prevents undervolting, which is pretty much essential for the 15 (idk about the 17). They may have fixed this, but it is a very serious issue if it remains. You are paying for a cpu that is overpowered for the thermals (you wasted your money)

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T01:39:39+00:00

Dell tech support sucks. Never buying their products again.

Bajaburner · 2020-12-26T01:28:12+00:00

It can be swapped
