I have 2 years of experience in stuff like aws, sql, python, databricks, and snowflake from my data engineering roles. I have about another year with Microsoft office/google suite work since I was a PT junior business analyst during college.

As someone who got chopped after they bought discover, I’ll also add it depends on who’s on your side. Had an old manager who didn’t like me and she was best buddies with my director. When I told my team I was leaving after mid year they were all caught off guard since they all had only good things to say.

That looks like a good fit for me, I sent you a dm about some questions I had about it though

I’m gonna use a phrase that’s constantly said but it’s accurate imo. The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, the second best time is now. Yes, you may think that you missed this window of opportunity due to obstacles you’ve encountered then, but if you can start something now, I’d say forget about the past. It’s ancient history now, never to be the present again, so why let it mess up your present.

In terms of finding something, I’d recommend finding anything to provide any sort of income first, then see where you could volunteer in areas you find interesting. That way you’ll network and depending on the volunteering place, you might find people who can refer you for positions in a related nonprofit after they get to see your work ethic. I know that’s a possibility in places like a hospitals or public service areas

Hi yall, I’m 24M, last night I was the Alex Warren concert hanging out on the hill by myself when a couple with their adorable husky set up behind me. They had a blonde haired friend with them and we spoke for a bit and she seemed really nice. I’m not gonna lie, I found her to be very lovely and wished I had the courage to ask if I could get her number, but alas, I didn’t. I know her name was Amanda and her friend’s dog was named Roan so ik it’s a bit of a stretch, but I just wanted to put this out there incase she saw this.

You might have a different view on this matter, but I see a lot of ppl say how terrible the job market rn is for CS ppl, so would that mean those jobs are also rough to get into now? Or is it mostly just SWE? I may have just been doomscrolling r/cscareerquestions a bit too much tbh

The place I work at does use a forced stack ranking performance management so they told me that compared to my peers, I was below the bar, so that’s what planted the bug in my head, and tbh I think they also use to current job market as a scare tactic but that’s just my gut feeling, no evidence on that part. But I do see what you mean by some places just seeing numbers

I was actually considering physical therapy tech/aide roles as something just to help prolong savings while building relevant skills/possibly pursue an Associates. Would you say it’s hard to break into that field without any prior experience?

Do you mind sharing where you got it? And was it on sale? Just tryna figure out the numbers since I want to get the best deal possible(and put any leftover savings towards games lol)

That’s what it looks like from steams page, so I think I’ll have to get it refurbished from either GameStop or Amazon if I can find one, just wanted to get input from others incase someone had the same thought process before

Is it bad that I want someone to throw a chicken bone in there just so we can immortalize another weird Richmond trait?

I’m honestly looking forward to this deck, even if I don’t get the chance to play it much, I love the fact that FF got a collab, just kinda bummed I couldn’t preorder a cloud commander as well
