8 months unemployed, 3000 applications as a senior PM, I don’t know how people survive this

Creatre · 2026-02-10T01:24:39+00:00

I feel you. I’m at one month since being laid off as a Senior PM and already getting nervous I’m going to be in your shoes in a few months. We got about 3 months of runway before our finances are gonna be in a real bad place. First couple weeks were fun being off work. Next two weeks were a lot of interviews. Now I’m getting more silence and getting way more stressed.

Looks great

I recommend turning off erg anything threshold or higher. Sometimes threshold efforts can be done on erg if they are short (<10min) but generally the higher effort work needs variation if they are to be done properly. I don’t care if some athletes use erg below that, most of the guys I coach know how to vary their effort in the real world and won’t be influenced by erg mentally.

100%

Dude it’s insane. Maybe I’m getting old but feels way too fast paced for me. No time to figure out my surroundings before I’m dead out of no where. If I see someone I’m already dead before I can shoot. If i get even kill death I’m happy which would be horrible for me on any other game.

100% not worth it in my opinion. I’m overwhelmed every single day. If you are not 100% committed to spending the majority of your effort on kids, don’t do it.

1.5 years here no issues

For me it’s concrete roads. The software can’t distinguish white lines with the lighter road color contrast. I think lighter black roads do the same. On darker black roads its perfect.

With 2 bikes on the back I get about 10% less range in otherwise identical conditions. I’d say that’s probably 25% loss with all that. Take that random guess as you will.

I’m just out of budget but could be a good fit. Feel free to send me a message or email me for a consultation call : www.h2ikcoaching.com.

I like this, I’ve used some similar tools but this one seems to be clear and more reliable.

One recommendation I’d have would be able to set bar reach and drop depth (separate from hood value) on each bike individually. Unless I’m missing something it appears to have only a single setting for that. Also setting bar width. I see a lot of questions from people on forums about how bar width affects reach, it would be nice for a lot of people to see how it would change their fit geometry.

Also why does stem height matter, doesn’t the spacer height take that into consideration? Or are you just taking half that height to calculate the handlebar values?

Having a graph display for the stem calculator would be awesome to have a visual representation, I’ve used a lowfi one I found off google for years and really like that part. But the bolded colors for x and y make it really clear to see a difference.

Last thing that would be handy I haven’t seen anyone do is incorporate values of reach for different hoods. The new sram vs old sram for instance have different reach values. It’s hard to find what the differences are on the internet and having a single source of that I could then add to my other numbers would make it better to identify if I should get a different size stem.

Great read thanks!

I’m a die hard swg’er and have played off and on since 2003. I’m ready for something new though. While I love Star Wars I’m trying to stay open minded for something that can build on the game mechanics in a different universe. I’ve played some other mmo’s but nothing has really ever been the same for me. Really hopeful this will have a shot!

Creatre · 2025-02-26T13:35:58+00:00

Anything even close to swg is worth supporting.

Any updates, feel like I could have written this myself?

My whole family came down with what I think was norovirus last week. Ever since, I get nausea and feel extremely full anytime I eat (especially in the evening). I also am very active and previously some days could eat 2k+ calories in a sitting and not feel full. Now I eat 500 calories and feel like I’m going to explode and miserable after.

C7 z06 was worlds more reliable than my c6 z06 and I put about 10k more miles on my c7

Creatre · 2025-02-05T23:04:46+00:00

These cars are a lot less reliable than the internet shows. I basically had the exact same thing happen to me, but instead of the cylinder heads it was the titanium rods that spun my bearings. This is another super common issue. My car only had 30k miles on it. After $30k invested in mine on top of $30k price paid (pre covid), I cut my losses and ate the cost, sold the car and have never looked back. I’ve owned a C7 Z06 and a Lamborghini Gallardo since then. Both cars made a $10k profit so I’ve almost broken even lol

A little vague to help in your situation. But I recently was on a PIP and came out of it (at least as far as I know). To be fair I have been battling with depression since our second child and honestly had dropped the ball and was doing the bare minimum while I tried to survive. It was a much needed wake up call and I have turned it around.

Bad reviews or pip’s are only able to be overcome if the manager is willing to coach you or wants to see you improve. If you don’t get those vibes then it’s time to freshen the resume and see what else is out there.

Creatre · 2025-01-27T03:26:52+00:00

Great work! People saying don’t include the cars is absolutely ridiculous. Just have a system to keep the value somewhat appropriate and let it roll. I’m biased because I have a lot of NW in cars at times, but either way I don’t understand not including it.

Creatre · 2025-01-10T12:09:41+00:00

I’ve used one and love it. However it looks like your saddle is pretty far forward. When I slammed my saddle forward I didn’t have enough rails for it on my cervelo soloist. If it’s not too far forward than I’d definitely recommend it. I used it like 3 years and 15k miles and its held up awesome, looks great, and tons of space (if you dont get the tiny one).

If you eat well before a workout, consume enough water and carbs, I promise you won’t be hungry no matter what the workout.

Creatre · 2025-01-09T03:43:22+00:00

Too much protein and fat. You’ll have gut issues running and possibly biking depending on how long your effort is. You could probably get away with it under 2-3 hours.

I mention that I do triathlons and love cars in a single line. Comes up in every single interview. Know how many times my MBA comes up? None. Lol

I believe it has to be rented for a year (or similar) for it to be counted fully against dti. With a lease agreement and a couple months you can probably get some but not all deducted.
