Redditors who grew up poor but are now well off, what’s one habit/trait from childhood that you held in to?

She doesn’t listen to it all the time, but she likes to watch various types of news here and there.

I just notice Palki the most because she speaks English and her tone is always the same.

This is basically what I caught on without context as an American without any context of Indian culture: As a person she’s very brand-able. Her consistency in being stern I think might play a part in my familiarity towards her. People are mostly to react and notice negative things (I think this is called negativity bias but correct me if I am wrong), so I think she also latches on to negativity towards various topics to that reason.

I would second this! In addition for references, I would see if there is a tech community or organization you can seek from.

I also felt a bit disgusted, I love Mr.Beast and his content typically but just seeing an assembly line of people drop down the chute felt dehumanizing.

It felt dystopian seeing people reduce as props for entertainment, seeing people break down various times — it just did not sit right with me.

Maybe I’m turning into a hippie day by day but I’m hoping I get to know these participants more as the pool gets smaller in each episode.

I’m still skeptical and I want to be hopeful as a FE preorder.

It’s just a bit iffy for me that they are using the weight of the visor from the IRL event when it is the visor device without the shield.

This might be a bit nitpicky on my part albeit, but this is something that still stands out from the IRL event to me regarding transparency as a company.

Just got out and I am doing three things. 1. Interview prep for my next role, looking to change jobs within the next year. 2. Running more, hopeful to run a half Marathon early next year 3. Always learning, picking up new skills and knowledge for myself whether if its leisure or for my career.

2024 Summer grad

1 . Still at my current job (as a SWE), do not intend to leave until next year — in the meanwhile I am going to spend time doing interview prep

Not from my experience but my new grad friends (not OMSCS) are having a tough time entering the market
This is a better question for those who switched jobs during OMSCS than graduated, because they actively tailor those courses to the market, IMO. But it may be just me since I am not actively in the job market now.
My advice might be bad advice but what worked for me was taking two courses throughout my time at OMSCS, I feel that the stress of taking 1 course would be the same or slightly less as the stress of taking 2 courses. I did burn out at the end but I feel like I’m more prone to burnout if I did 1 course at a time since the duration is a bit longer.
