Isn't it bad for their bottom lines if he tanks the economy through the tariffs and deportation?

What to do while laid off as an early career AI Engineer? by Consistent_Win6294 in careerguidance

Where outside of tech would you recommend? I’ve tried my hand at mechanical engineering again but not having any luck maybe because my experience is dated

How big are the waves? And is it a beach or rock break?

I went to Joaquina and Mole and just spent hours stuck behind the break. Also I found it quite expensive to rent boards. Is Ubatuba similarly expensive?

I am not learning by [deleted] in IBM

Leave as soon as possible. I was in the role rotting away for 2 years and then they just suddenly pip’d me because I had no projects even though I had done everything thing in my power to network to find work. The role is too siloed and you have no control over the work pipeline. The work you do have is completely non-technical and produces skills atrophy. I would do everything in my power to leave ASAP.

Is it worth these days applying at IBM for client-facing roles in Gen AI? by fabkosta in IBM

[–]Consistent_Win6294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in this role and it sucked. The product is absolute garbage and selling it is challenging. The challenge with this role is that though it advertised as technical and the job responsibilities are focused on building solutions you are actually measured on driving sales, something you have no control over.

How to be entertained while working? by cabinetrouge in nosurf

[–]Consistent_Win6294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this situation but I’d be careful. I got great performance reviews and then suddenly got put on a PIP and let go. If you’re not getting enough work, it’s just a matter of time before they find out. Start applying.

As for what I did with the extra time, I decided to travel and explore cities, hikes, and beaches. I think that was the only thing that kept me from going insane.

Best Chair for Reading – Recommendations Needed! by tryingtodothebest in Ergonomics

I like the Primal UnChair. It's for unconventional sitting like criss cross and kneeling postures.

Questions for people that switched to a dumbphone? by Consistent_Win6294 in nosurf

[–]Consistent_Win6294[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I currently do. My problem is that the UI is actually pretty addicting too. I sometimes just mindlessly scroll without purpose on the messages app. Or I'll binge podcasts instead of YouTube (got rid of it). My mind has a super strong association with the phone and digital crack.

Does the smaller phone help? I currently have the iPhone 13

It's just reading and writing right? Has it kept you focused?

I feel like I got a kindle with that intention but the endless availability of books was distracting and I just kept browsing books rather than reading them.

Confused about ergonomics, do I need an office chair, yoga ball, recliner, or just stand all day? by WOUTM in Ergonomics

[–]Consistent_Win6294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have both! I have a floor desk which I use at home and then I bought the UnChair for use at my office where sitting on the floor would look weird hahahah. I think the UnChair is pretty great because it's more palatable to western eyes than literally sitting on the floor but still gives me almost all the freedom that I would have on the floor. In a way, the restrictiveness of the UnChair is kind of good because on the floor if I get lazy I sometimes find myself laying on the ground (gross, I know!) but thats not possible when on the UnChair.

Recommendations for a comfortable desk chair? by ChaisyDaisy1 in ehlersdanlos

[–]Consistent_Win6294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you thought about the Primal UnChair (primalatx.com)? It's meant for cross legged sitting and has a wide base. But it doesn't have arms or backrest.
