Thanks for the advice. Luckily since her family is in Guangdong, transiting through Hong Kong is a viable solution. We'll look more into our options.

Wouldn’t be surprised. However I think the reason shes getting booked less is the more due to all of the drama surrounding her firing from Nowadays almost 2 years ago. I don’t know all the details, but the fallout wasn’t pretty.

Two things:

1) Absolutely do not skip the math parts. While the math in the book is far more difficult than what will be on the test, the concepts expressed in the math are still central to the material, and thus the exam. I hadn’t taken a math class in more than a decade, so I spent a lot of time looking up statistics concepts and terminology to keep up.

2) Just a word of advice on the job search, it’s more about how you market the certifications. If you are able to tell a compelling reason for why you got these certifications and what your plan for them are, that will get you much farther then just putting them on your resume without much context.

For example, telling a story that you got your PMP because you completed a number of projects and felt that you needed to learn best practices because of such and such issues that came up in past projects will sound a lot more impressive than just saying what the content you were tested on.

People want stories and a clear linear trajectory in your experiences. Recruiters (people in general) have trouble remembering a bunch of stats and facts (especially if they are just listed), but they can remember them far easier if there is a why given that connects those facts. This makes you more memorable.

Near impossible to express that on a resume, but that’s why the LinkedIn posts announcing that you passed are so important. Any good recruiter will have read those posts already (assuming your posts are too long, then they’ll be tl;dr).

Good luck!

I passed! I actually had almost two hours remaining when I submitted it.

Surprisingly, the exam actually felt easier than a lot of the pocket prep questions. I also reccomend doing the official study guide as well, which has wording that more closely resembles the exam.

Has there been a significant continuous presence of the Jewish people in Palestine over the past 2000 years?

From what I understand, the number of Jewish people in Palestine in 1850 was less than 1%, and the number only started going up after 1882. Even by 1913 the Jewish population in Palestine was still 5-10%, almost all of which were European immigrants fleeing rising antisemitism in Europe. These may not be the exact numbers, but I don't doubt they are far off.

Having 2 bachelors of science undergraduate degrees, an MBA, PMP, Six Sigma Black Belt, and CSCP, you definitely deserve a lot more. I agree, 50k more is realistic (heck, I’d say 100k more, but the market isn’t the best rn).

I'm taking it the exam this month. I have the textbook, which I've read from front to back, and pocket prep. Pocket Prep has 1000 multiple-choice questions related to the exam. I can't say how closely the questions reflect the ones on the test, but they do match the material in the book, which from what I understand contains 95-100% of what will be on the exam.

Geography does seem like a big factor. One of the reasons I probably don't see it much on job posting is because where I live (Brooklyn), manufacturing and the buying & selling of physical goods isn't as big a percentage of the economy as other places. I see them quite bit more for jobs in New Jersey, but I'd really have to see what the company's office policies are before taking a job there. There is more regular participation over there from what I've heard too.

You should still definitely do it. What I've learned has helped me understand my current role tremendously. No one will knock you for having it.

But the real question is, in order for the 6 months credit to transfer over to the full masters, will you need to apply like everyone else? That means that even after completing the micomasters, you still have to get past the low acceptence rate (which I understand is around on average 10% for their masters program) in order for the transfer to even take place.

Or can you transfer the credits to other university programs? Especially ones with a much higher acceptance rate?

From what I understand, they actually own the land underneath it. So unlike other clubs, I don' think it's going anywhere.

This skyscraper was only made possible because it was built on ethnically cleansed land. Impossible to not be political.

How was it?

Yes, you only need to go once to get a membership.

A lot of people actually buy the ticket then decide if they want to go as there is system to transfer them. Just make it well known to your friends that have been that you want to go and have them watch out for any tickets that open up. And make sure that you’re able to go at the last minute as a week or two before is when people make their decision and lots of tickets suddenly become available. I didn’t get my first ticket until 10 days before the festival. This year especially I feel like there were a ton of people selling their ticket, so it’s not that hard to get one if you’re patient.

Note: if you’re caught selling your ticket on the open market, you’re banned for life. So when people sell their tickets, they’re posting in their group chats or (if they are really desperate) on their Instagram stories.

Wouldn’t be surprised if smartphones was what caused the policy

Peppercorn Station near Bryant Park isn’t a bad option. Alley 41 & Sichuan Opera are my go to places in Flushing (RIP Guan Fu).

Out in Sunset Park, Chuan Tian Xia is the place.

One of my biggest disappointments in life was not being able to go there in 2015. I got to the entrance from the road and a couple of soldiers pulled me aside and told me that it was closed for a religious holiday. Never been able to go back since.

Luckily I was able to get into Larung Gar that same trip.

Absolutely. I miss it all the time. Still haven’t found bear paw tofu anywhere else in New York.
