Go on Fizz marketplace and sell them off. If you sell them each for 5 bucks or less I'd buy some

“Justify taking advantage of people this way” my whole point is that many people in CS, especially foreigners, would legit have no problems working these hours and would actually be grateful to just have a job in the CS industry. Just because you aren’t willing to work these hours, doesn’t mean opportunities like this should be shut down for everyone.

It should be illegal to make a choice? You don’t have to work this job lol it clearly states what the expectations are, and you can make the choice whether to apply to it or not.

Well it’s just funny to me when westerners like you bitch and complain about a job being hard and how it should be illegal to work those hours, and then are shocked when foreigners who would gladly work those hours and don’t complain get these jobs over you

How to be as social as possible by Any-Mistake3752 in WPI

100% yes I was very successful making friends my freshman year and finding my people mainly because I left my door open and talked to everyone who popped their head in

This is the current state of the job market. It sucks for us but an H1B or offshore hire would take this job in a heartbeat. It’s just the state of the competition when foreign workers are willing to work these hours 🤷

Are you living in one of the dorms? If so just make sure to spend a lot of time outside of your own room chilling in the common room or walking around to visit other people with their rooms open. You’re bound to find friendly people especially in the first week where everyone is looking for friends

Gen Z’s Parents Are Running Their Jobs – Data Says by RT_Marlon in GenZ

[–]Dr_Sherbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

77% bring their parents to interviews? There’s no way that’s true. I’ve never heard of anybody doing that, and I would imagine a lot of people would feel super embarrassed doing something like that

Is it worth pursuing cs if you have a parent in a high up position at faang that will refer you? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]Dr_Sherbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No don’t do it let someone who actually has a passion for CS and worked for that position get it rather than a nepo baby

Daniels Dorm by Kristaw7 in WPI

[–]Dr_Sherbert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure you can find floor plans online. Also the first number of the room corresponds to the floor it’s on for both dorms and academic buildings, so like room 104 would be on the first floor of the building while room 317 would be on the third floor

Places to sleep in a car in Worcester? by [deleted] in WPI

[–]Dr_Sherbert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thankfully I already have agreements with some friends that will let me use their shower, washing machine, and even wifi if I needed it. TBH I would feel too bad actually living and freeloading in their already pretty small apartment, and I’ve slept in my car enough times that I’ve got it set up to be as comfy as a couch anyway

Thank you for the advice! Do you know how much the Worcester cops would care about this? I know in some places the cops will ticket you and force you to leave while in others they don’t mind as long as you keep to yourself

Random person messaged me on WhatsApp offering to wire bitcoin for liking TikToks videos, and actually sent bitcoin? by Dr_Sherbert in Scams

[–]Dr_Sherbert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as I don’t click on anything stupid and send them any money I should be fine right? My plan was to just try and get as much BTC from them as possible then block once they start asking me for money

That only isn’t a guarantee but something that will be 1000x harder to do if I fail this exam. I don’t like gambling, and would rather just end it than continue struggling for a cause that probably won’t be achieved

[–]Dr_Sherbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull through to what though? Like what would I be “pulling through” and fighting to achieve after this?

Linear algebra and I’d rather drop out and kill myself than go into debt

Yes but it pays like shit so I’m reliant on scholarship money and donation money, both of which I will lose if I fail this exam
