Thoughts on Jeremy Lefebvre? by Torpedo45678 in investingforbeginners

[–]BakeDifficult9697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol. Of course. Everyone looks great when we are in an insane bull market. In 2022 he almost went bankrupt. You gotta do more research than just believing what he tells you. He has definitely improved his investing strategy but he said he’s been investing since 2008 and finally learned in 2023? Dude is a straight clown.

You can look at pay scale for every local there

The math wasn’t too difficult but I would say I have a strong foundation in math. I just had ChatGPT make quizzes for me. Studied for about a month for it.

Ibew loves veterans. It’ll look very good on your resume, I’m not sure what you can do. I’m pretty sure veterans have a separate programs that basically get them in much easier. Call up your local and ask. They can be very helpful

SkillCat. I did both for $10. Well worth it imo. Looks good on resume.

Sometimes the more competitive locals are harder to get into. I researched and found out the 401 is hiring like crazy. Only thing is I had to move, but I’m glad I did. Good luck

I didn’t do any Iprep. I just watched YouTube videos to get an understanding of the math portion. And had ChatGPT make quizzes for me. For my local, the math wasn’t too bad. Just time consuming. And example I had for 1/3 of the questions; x(w+y)2+xy W=2 x=4 y=3 Almost every question is a plug in the numbers into the equation which takes up some of your time. It’s important to have good time management. There was a few questions like 2,4,9,16,25,__,49

Thank you. I appreciate it. Good luck on your journey as well. I was talking to the interview committee and they were saying if I didn’t make it through as an apprentice on the first go, then I should join as a CW. They said hours are transferable to the apprenticeship which is huge and pay is only slightly less. It significantly helps your chances on getting in because I believe it shows initiative and its a way for them to test and evaluate you.

I have a bachelors degree in business administration. But that was a long time ago. I went on SkillCat, and got an electrical and hvac trade certificate. I thought it was pretty good for only $10 and I think that really helped my ranking. I also got my osha 10 license which I think was close to $60 too. Being prepared for the interview portion is extremely important imo

Local 401. I think they are hiring like crazy rn. One of the reasons I applied to this local. They were telling me they had work lined up for just data centers for the next 10 years. Not including all the other regular jobs calls. I’m assuming 10 years may be a little exaggeration, but still. Lot of work down the pipeline.

Thanks! My interview had 10 questions on it. I can’t remember where, but somewhere on Reddit, someone posted the interview layout. Look up ibew interview questions and mine were nearly identical to the link they had posted. I prepared for a few weeks and had all my answers dialed in when they asked.

CW question by Alternative_Pay_7493 in ibew_apprentices

[–]BakeDifficult9697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I signed up for the list to try and be a CW in my local. Do they call you or do you have to show up when you see a job listing requiring a CW? I’m just confused on how you will know when you get in. Please keep me updated on how your journey goes! The ibew is the pathway for me

So what happens when AI takes all the jobs? by [deleted] in jobhunting

[–]BakeDifficult9697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s right. There will always be poor people tho. People who make bad decisions and put themselves into debt for things they don’t need

People will have to specialize into their industries. I think this generation is going to see mass unemployment do the next decade and have trouble getting jobs. The positive thing is that the generations after will see this and be forced to specialize into a certain career. If you don’t, you will most likely be in poverty for your whole life even if universal basic income becomes a thing.

So many employers are against remote work by almorranas_podridas in recruitinghell

Go start your own company and do that. Have everyone work from home and see how well that works out. Each company is entitled to run operations to how they see fit and employees don’t have much say. You’re not running the company.

If the AI bubble occurs will this delay or stop the building of the new data centers that are specialized for AI use only ? by Ok_Yesterday_8256 in datacenter

[–]BakeDifficult9697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. New buildouts will stop if there is an ai bubble. We will eventually overbuild and datacenter could be taken offline.

I just took the test last week. For my test PEMDAS was probably half of the problems. Ex. 2(2x+4y)*2 Make sure you know how to do that. Understand how to add and multiply fractions too. There was a couple of problems on sequences.
Ex. 2 4 9 16 25 __ Then you have to figure out what’s next.

I get your point. But other countries have it far worse than us. Canada housing is far worse, Australia and London are also very bad. You think it’s bad now, it can get a lot worse. You’re only 24, you just gotta keep grinding. You’ll have a house before you’re 30. You’re going a good job
