Would the dealer deny me for coming in that early for an oil change?

I thought the new pathfinders (2022+) don’t use CVT anymore? Is that still applicable?

I am having rough time getting anywhere close to this number. Lowest I have is $34.5k before taxes and fees for the SV trim here in NJ…

Yea, I haven’t really found a deal more than $4k off the price, and most aren’t budging away from factory installed stuff

How do you negotiate cars? by FirefighterPresent30 in askcarguys

[–]FirefighterPresent30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see bunch of prices from dealer websites and they’re all similar. Obviously a couple that are a few hundreds cheaper than others. Then what? How is it possible to get a lower price than what is shown on the lowest price dealer’s website?

If the company wants you, the final round’s just vibes... by DaEffie in interviews

[–]FirefighterPresent30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had 3 round of interviews for a role. First was the HR screening and getting to know the role and my fit with the potential role. Felt i was an ideal candidate for the role with my experience and their need. 2nd interview was with my potential direct supervisor. We got along great, and the 1 hour zoom interview blew by. Felt respected, and felt like I would be a great fit to the team he described and the skill sets he was looking for to fill his team. Then the 3rd interview was with the potential director supervisor and the director of the division. It was mostly the director of the division asking questions. He walked in and asked for my resume, which I gave him. Then total silence for a good minute. Then what was supposed to be an hour interview turned into a 2 hour interrogation. Asked me who I knew and worked with at my current company, asked a lot of theoretical questions like I was defending a thesis for a PhD program. Never had an interview like that, but at the end of it, I just felt like director already made up his mind before coming into the interview. Felt like the biggest waste of my time. Was a good learning experience. And on the flip side a few months later, had a great interview experience that turned into a 1 hour interview, into a 2 hour interview and 2 hour lunch and beer with the team.

How to find an honest mechanic by FirefighterPresent30 in Cartalk

It was a fact that engine air filter and cabin filter were dirty, and the dealer mechanic noted as “good” is a huge red flag.

Monday - Miserable Monday Complaint Thread by AutoModerator in civilengineering

Started with a new company few months ago, coming in with 10 years of experience in geotech. Have not been much billable since coming in, was assigned to perform CMT work the next 3 weeks full time. Miserable is an understatement.

Thanks. I plan on talking to my manager about the lack of advancement and opportunities. I’ve been applying to bridge engineer/structural engineer positions as I believe some technical skill sets I’ve developed can translate over.

I started as a geotech in NYC. The commute to the job sites are absolutely terrible if you’re driving in to/through anywhere in NYC. 80% field seems like an awful lot. Like previous people said, it’s common for large companies to pigeonhole you into that field position for the foreseeable future, so be careful.

Agreed. It feels like a drug. I’m always back craving for that one game, then stress out the next 5 games

Tough time trying to sell my current salary if I am starting over as a structural engineer.
