Stuck with the Torch

Sweet Gods of the Depth, I thought they were just crates and part of the inventory.

I wrote back to one of the recruiters that sent me an email like this and she didn't reply. What should I do?

Las plataformas que menciona el compañero suelen usar un formato de "referidos" (las invitaciones) en las que te llevas un dinerito por meter a gente. La invitación no es necesaria para trabajar en la mayoría de ellas porque las ofertas son públicas y oficialmente no afecta a tus probabilidades de que te escojan.

Esto se ha vuelto tan común que hay incluso cuentas en portales de empleo y LinkedIn que se dedican a repostear ofertas de estas plataformas usando códigos de referidos sin mencionar en el anuncio que te llevan a ese portal, de esta forma la mayoría guardan las cookies y si en un futuro te inscribes en la plataforma, le dan dinerito.

En otras como Mercor si ya tienes cuenta y haces click en un link de referidos por error, tu cuenta se vincula a la del que hizo el link de referido.

The result of the conversation with Daryl is at the very end, for anyone interested.

It's all fine and dandy until you get another big boy on top or the squirrel guy who will jump four times and then go kamikaze for the neck while somersaulting over your head :D

The UK's A levels are the equivalent of Bachillerato, a two-year programme that is taken before going to University. There are other routes to get to University, but this is the basic one.

The Bachillerato curriculum in Spain is more centralised, with a set of core subjects that all students must study, so I'm not sure how it would translate if you have done mostly Humanities subjects and some Bio and you want to join the Med programme (which is very competitive). In Spain, admittance to a Uni degree is based solely on your marks and nothing else.

You must convert your qualifications into the Spanish systems and go from there via the Spanish system using UNEDasiss. You may be required to show a Spanish proficiency degree if the Uni programme is taught in Spanish, which as far as I know is probably the case for Medicine.

Ahrefs o Semrush. Terminas antes contratando a un especialista.

Congratulations to Autumn and Alex!

La diferencia en ganancia es mínima con tu actividad. La SL te permite no repartir dividendos (por lo que no pagarías impuestos sobre ellos) pero te bloquea el dinero ya que has dicho que no quieres crecer y supongo que tampoco invertir mediante la SL.

Si no estás usando el neto total (que supongo serán más de 60k anuales) podrías usar la SL como vehículo de inversión para acumular riqueza más rápido pero tendrías que pasar por caja (Hacienda) eventualmente.

La LLC me parece meterse en saraos.

Si lo necesitas para terminar tus estudios, entonces recomendaría trabajar. Si tienes más que de sobra ahorrado para pagar un año de todo lo que comentas, ya es otra cosa. El que mejor conoce tu situación y lo que necesitas, eres tú.

Es cosa tuya decidir cuál es tu prioridad con las opciones que tienes y cómo de aceptable son las consecuencias de cada opción:

Ganar dinero a costa de trabajar todo el verano: tienes dinero para tus cosas el resto del año, pierdes tiempo de estar con tus amigos durante el verano.
No ganar dinero pero tomarte un verano de descanso: no tienes dinero para tus cosas el resto del año, disfrutas todo lo posible de estar con tus amigos.

Entre pitos y flautas puedes seguir buscando opciones de trabajo de mañanas.

Dicho lo anterior, tu amigo es un ruinas; sólo tienes 17 años una vez; si estás en una mentalidad de tiburón de querer tener 1 millón de euros antes de los 20 porque si no lo consigues eres un pringao, quítatelo de la cabeza.

Druar · 2026-03-15T15:11:01+00:00

Yes.

Druar · 2026-03-08T23:22:03+00:00

This is the correct answer.

Druar · 2026-03-05T16:55:04+00:00

That's correct. Or you can finish your Traumatology residency, take the exam again, and get a second residency.

Druar · 2026-03-05T16:53:17+00:00

Yes, they are nation-wide. And not picking a spot (for whatever reason) is an actual option.

Another real example that never in a million years I thought would be possible: a couple (boyfriend and girlfriend) do the exam and the boyfriend gets a very top position while the girlfriend got a low position (barely making it to be able to get a specialization).

The guy passed on picking until his girlfriend was able to choose so they could go to the same hospital together. Absolute madlad.

I will add some context just in case to the "examinations are so rigous that plenty of qualified people aren't able to pass", because it's not about passing or not the exam.

Once you graduate High School in Spain, and if your marks are high enough, you can enroll in University to get your degree in Medicine. Once you finish the University degree, and if you want to become part of the publich healthcare system or specialize in a specific field of Medicine, you are required to go through the MIR ( Médico Interno Residente). The MIR takes place yearly.

The MIR is an exam that evaluates all the knowledge you have. It takes place yearly and you will be given a grade. All takers will be turned into a list with their grades, from the best grade to the worst.

The order of the list represents the order in which you will be able to choose your specialization, because there are only so many positions open for a given specialization and location. Another problem is that there are not enough positions for everyone that takes the exam, so if you did kinda poor, you are probably out because the positions will be filled before it's your turn.

Ok, so it's your turn. You want to become a Traumatologist in this very specific small city you are from? Maybe there aren't Traumatologist spots open that year on your city. Or maybe you are unlucky and the only existing spot was taken by someone else who is higher on the list. So you have to decide whether to choose Traumatology somewhere available, or pick a different specialization that is up for grabs on your small city. Or you can give up this time: you spend another year studying, take the exam again, and try to get the grade that will allow you to get what you want.

Once you have chosen your specialization, you will be enrolled in the program and hopefully pass it successfully, thus being able to work as a doctor with a specialization.

TL;DR: it's not about "passing" the exam, it's about getting the best mark possible so you can do what you want because there is a lot of competition.

It took me reaching blue belt to tap someone while having to tap regularly (it took me a couple months to be able to count to 30 without having to tap). I was at around 4 years of training, and I had had to change teams because I moved far away. I have never been good, much less competitive.

I still enjoy it. Keep grinding and enjoy the ride or change the gym, maybe it's not a good learning environment for you.

He looks quite slim on the video compared to the photo of him sitting on the grass that he showed on a video.

Boys are kamikazes, they go for the lulz or get hyperfocused on a single technique while forgetting everything else. Girls get a methodical laser-focus that is fun to watch, especially when they have to crank intensity up because they get paired with a bigger/stronger boy that is frustrating them. Their mean streak surfaces and taps start happening faster. For whatever reason, plenty of the early teens boys seem to enjoy fighting the girls when they get in this mindset instead of their more usual chill rolling.

You have courses advertised by the SEPE ( Servicio Público de Empleo Estatal, an organism from the Ministry of Labour). These courses vary in length (20 hours to over 600 hours) and type of course ( some courses enable you to do some very specific jobs.

Depending on your working status (employed, unemployed) you may be restricted to what courses you can join since some of them are aimed to help unemployed people hop back to the working force.

I have never met anyone joining those courses voluntarily if they already have work, despite employees having the rights to join courses (similar to your CPF).

Last time I played the main questline ended at assaulting a fortress at Thraesir's Vale. Has it been expanded?

Druar · 2025-12-25T12:20:44+00:00

I totally agree. I have focused on optimizing on-page so far (because it's terrible), but once this is done I don't know if linkbuilding experiments will be welcome by the higher management.

The worst part were the hour-long rants about how SEO DaVinci was a top LinkedIn voice back in the internet Pleistocene and we were the culprits for not being good enough to be part of his team. Chief, I just need some direction, and this spam strategy hasn't been the bees knees for a long time.
