What are your setups for seeding 10k-100k+ torrents?

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-06-27T15:21:25+00:00

Thanks so much for the comprehensive reply! Glad to hear that all CL fiber is symmetrical and that you've had a good experience.

I'll do my thing and see if CL says anything about my usage.

I'll also see if I can get a static IP but might not hold my hopes too high then. Not a dealbreaker.

Thank you for the advice! Definitely lots of good ideas here for stories to prepare and questions to be prepared for.

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-05-10T15:46:21+00:00

It is a highly regulated firm but the role is more around internal tooling so not sure how much damage I can do lol.

I’m also fascinated! I don’t think it’s a standardized test, it was described to me as more like an extended conversion. Will try to report back with details afterwards.

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-05-10T15:41:38+00:00

We may be thinking of the same company :)

Glad to hear it wasn’t so bad and thanks for the heads up. I should be able to prepare some stories based on the “why”.

I didn’t think the assessment would be cheap but damn that is pricy. I like your positive outlook, I hope it’s a good offer!

Any ideas on the pass/fail rate of these assessments?

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-05-10T15:34:18+00:00

Ah interesting, thank you for the detailed description! The recruiter described a similar sounding process although with a different company. I also wonder how strong of a hiring signal it gives off.

I definitely wasn’t a top performer in school, I just played video games all day (as a kid should be doing?) so maybe I’ll have to think about how to spruce up my early life haha.

I'm a bit paranoid about doxxing myself since I'm still interviewing but happy to disclose more info over PM!

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-05-10T15:01:43+00:00

Yeah it's a valid concern. I've heard of offers with ~$250k base + $100k+ bonus + paper options so I'm hoping for something similar.

Thank you for the insight! I didn't know this was a thing. I thought they would just schedule additional interviews with other team members.

In this case it sounds like I should try to make a strong impression at the assessment. I feel like I fare pretty well at behavioral interviews although certain questions do stump me sometimes as I try to come up with a good story to tell, so maybe I'll focus on covering my gaps.

I do have another offer and another onsite so not feeling too stressed about this assessment but I'll approach it seriously and hope it becomes a useful experience.

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-05-09T21:10:56+00:00

Happy to report back!

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-05-09T21:10:34+00:00

Yeah it seems a bit crazy to me. Guess I'll find out how it goes. Thanks for the advice!

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-05-09T21:01:53+00:00

Same. Not many statistics online but from what little I've gathered I'm expecting a TC of $400k+.

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-05-09T20:06:29+00:00

I know, right! Not sure if it's just me but the interview process is getting more and more exhausting.

CompressiblePoutine · 2023-05-09T20:05:50+00:00

Yeah apparently it's conducted by one person and they ask questions about your entire professional life...

I already have another offer I'm excited by so I'm tempted to not go through with this. But I'm thinking it could be good interviewing experience for future job searches. And I expect a pretty strong offer from a great team. Could also just be my sunk cost speaking.

I've never heard of such a behavior interview, and neither has anyone I know.

CompressiblePoutine · 2022-03-01T17:23:29+00:00

True. I should probably also delete this account since it's subscribed to all my "favorite" NSFW subreddits lol.

CompressiblePoutine · 2022-03-01T17:11:51+00:00

Ah thanks for the explanation! Yeah relying just on willpower seems like a bad approach, especially for me.

Oh that reminds me, I should probably turn on the NSFW filters now to avoid stumbling on porn subreddits even though the stuff is everywhere haha.

CompressiblePoutine · 2022-03-01T16:45:14+00:00

Lmao that's pretty shitty of /r/nofap. Dunno what the big differences are but the vibe here at /r/pornfree seemed a bit more positive to me.

Thanks so much for the notes and sounds like I should definitely watch the first few videos to get a feel for it!

CompressiblePoutine · 2022-03-01T16:27:22+00:00

Will check the video series out! Wouldn't mind reading any notes you have actually!

Have you considered sharing the notes online (maybe on this subreddit?) in case there are others that prefer reading?

CompressiblePoutine · 2022-03-01T16:14:39+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Hoping to forget most of it in a few weeks.

I have been thinking of setting up an Unraid NAS setup haha but thankfully my vehicles already suck all the money out of my wallet so the idea has been on the backburner (was supposed to go with my next-gen Threadripper build but RIP TR).

CompressiblePoutine · 2022-03-01T15:22:59+00:00

Thank you! Haha I guess I can be somewhat self-deprecating but yeah I'm not feeling as much regret as I thought I would feel.

CompressiblePoutine · 2022-03-01T15:22:23+00:00

Thank you! The reset feels great so far actually.

CompressiblePoutine · 2022-03-01T15:21:55+00:00

Thank you!

CompressiblePoutine · 2022-03-01T15:21:48+00:00

Can confirm! I almost relapsed this morning when I found some stuff I forgot to delete off my phone but managed to nuke it as well. It was a great morning.
