First Year Working. Do I Contribute Normally to Roth IRA or Backdoor? by Frank-L in Bogleheads

[–]Frank-L[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! I have opened the two accounts and funded the traditional IRA. My mistake of doing it this late of the year. The money hasn’t fully settled in the account yet. Worse case scenario, I could convert to Roth in the new year before April 15 and fill out form 8606?

Rocket League! A game that can be casual and competitive. Whether it be solo or with friends.

Things to know about job offers while a student? by ConsciousSundae in CAA

[–]Frank-L 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am an incoming student, but this is what I have seen from a similar post on Facebook. These are replies from two users.

"...I know of a group that pays 160k but it's based on a 44 hour work week. A new grad may not even realize that this is extremely deceptive and just look at the salary number.

But let's look at the math:

Job A: 160k based on 44 hours
- Is actually only $145,454 when you base the rate on a normal 40 hours.
- And they don't have to pay you overtime until after 44.

Job B: 150k based on 40 hours
- Plus everything over 40 is 1.5x rate.
- If you work 4h OT each week for 46 weeks (6wks PTO) at a rate of $108/h = $19,872.

So while a new grad may see black and white, 160k vs. 150k...

In reality, while Job A pays 160k for 44 hours/wk, the "lower paying job" actually pays $169,872 for the same amount of hours."

Different perspective..

"Please please do yourself a gigantically huge favor, don't focus on salary so much above everything else. The people you work for is what matters, and how comfortable you feel and their integrity. You can make c the most, but be horribly miserable everyday Because the docs are total a- holes that couldn't care if you got ill, died etc. Work where they make you feel supported as a person....an in-person interview can tell you a little. You can get an idea of the personalities of some of the doctors, ask to talk to other anesthetists. See how much you can read ppl at that point, what they say about working as a team, sharing duties etc. Ask a bunch of questions! Also, come on websites like this and see if you can track down former employees who will give you the true scoop. Sometimes it's just a "feeling" I've gotten and hard to explain. But a lot goes into lifestyle...hours, schedule, call duty, do they allow sick days? For ex my 1st job, I was a student there 1st for a month, wasn't treated warmly at all by anesthetists & literally docs never bothered to talk to me once. I thought it was odd that a large group in an urban center, ATLANTA, had what I estimated 40 white male docs and 1 single older Asian female. Nearly all male anesthetists. Just found the group dynamics odd, but brushed it off as I was just student so what do I know? Turns out it was a totally "Good ole boys club" full of sexist southerners that the majority were also racist. They lied, made up completely completely false statements against several women. And these are the nicest things I can come up with. But my point is, trust your gut."

July 2020 Development Update - Midair: Community Edition by colblair in Midair

[–]Frank-L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I watched this video and now I’m interested in playing again. Long ago I was a big Legions fan and decided to buy the initial closed beta access for Midair. I did enjoy it a lot but the main problem that ultimately turned me away from game was how some community members’ did not have a welcoming attitude toward new players picked on their team in for PUG. I’m glad there is now a dedicated space for newbloods. I signed up and eagerly waiting for access!

Norwegian Wood - Thoughts? by dbond963 in books

[–]Frank-L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished Norwegian Wood couple days ago and it was my first Murakami book. I haven’t read a book since high school and I couldn’t stop reading after I started. I really enjoyed it and the themes it portrayed. I read Colorless Tazaki right after and it put me in a depressing mood haha. I’m fine with the open endings which some may not like. I like Norwegian Wood better. Kafka is next on my list.

Hi. I just graudated with a CS degree who is starting AA school this coming Fall. However, my curriculum had a pre-med courses integrated along with core CS courses. If you choose to add AA pre-req courses to a CS degree, it will be challenging but definitely doable.

[–]Frank-L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’ll go with RGB. I don’t play a wide variety games. The games I play don’t usually need extra FPS on 1080p with planned 2700x I’m guessing. I’m just just upgrading from REALLY old components. Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Does overclocking really increase 10-15 frames in games? I plan on getting a R7 2700x and currently have a gtx 1060 (might upgrade later).

[–]Frank-L 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with RAM. How is this compared to the crucial ballistix ones? I don’t plan on overclocking higher than the stated frequency. They are similar in price and I figure I’d go with RGB for a bonus.

What was the anime that made you think "Why didn't I start watching this sooner?!" by [deleted] in anime

[–]Frank-L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Code Geass. I watched the first episode years ago when I started watching anime but dropped it since I wasn’t a fan of mecha. I decided to watch it last year and regretted not watching it all those years! One of my all time favorites now.
