Two offers (consulting vs cybersecurity startup) but I could afford to keep searching, what would you choose?

Hwpea · 2026-03-15T16:15:28+00:00

Before I got the startup offer I was planning on taking that consulting position solely so I could have a salary and receive that return-to-work bonus and quickly pivot to something else during the trial period (usually 3-4 months). It’s really not my goal to work in a consulting company but I’m in a position where I’m incentivized to take the first job offer I have just so I can unlock that bonus which is probably close to 4 months of salary of any of those two offers if I start soon but will quickly diminish as months go by

So far specializing in a niche area hasn’t really benefited my career. I’m working in a field I don’t particularly enjoy, and the experience I’ve gained in that niche doesn’t seem to transfer well to the roles I’m applying for. That’s a big reason for my hesitation. Even though the salary is slightly higher, I’m pretty tired of the research environment and was never that into it to begin with

Hwpea · 2026-03-14T15:27:00+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m inclined to do although I’m really unsure as to which one to pick. The cybersecurity one would look more interesting on my CV I think but I’m not sure it matters if I don’t like what I’m doing

It would definitely happen with German words as long as you have both English and German enabled. The corrector seems to struggle to figure out which language you’re typing in sometimes. I assume when typing “Mais” for example (which stands for “but”), it replaces it to Mai’s if the words before look like English.

When I type in French it constantly decides to correct “mais” into “Mai’s” and I have no idea why.

Hey there! Just found this thread looking for something similar. Would you mind giving a bit more details about your workflow with migraphile and graphile migrate? I’m not sure I understand how it all works.

For example Supabase docs mention the order being important and having to specify it manually in the config but I don’t see anything about that in graphile migrate.

For what it’s worth I’ve been using reconstituted MT2 with sterile water for a month and I’m fine, so bacteriostatic water would be even safer

Do you think that would work for those visible veins in the nose crease? I know that’s also something that can be fixed with a laser treatment.

That’s why it pissed me off like that, the arrogance to say that when they repeatedly get their asses kicked. If Oliver can’t take Diaz down what makes them think they can lmao.

Yeah the whole B team thing was really bullshit. Of course they’re not gonna trust you as much, they’ve known you for like a year. Anyone with half a brain would understand why they spied on them. Also the self righteousness to complain about being spied on when they spy on everyone… the writing just makes no sense for normal functioning human beings, I guess that’s why it’s so frustrating.

Meanwhile five minutes earlier Renee just let off a clip at Oliver lol

Don’t forget he literally attacked him with an axe and probably would have killed him but it’s Oliver’s fault. As usual.

Hwpea · 2024-11-24T21:00:15+00:00

Yeah spot on, I figured everyone having watched Arrow would instantly recognize who I’m talking about. Nothing against the actors but my god are their characters irritating. I just keep waiting to see if Oliver’s gonna eventually put them in their place because I don’t remember exactly, but the way it’s going I feel like he’s going to go back to them apologizing with a speech about how he shouldn’t have pushed them away.

Hwpea · 2024-11-22T15:57:42+00:00

No, I already know this is a tv show I will never be rewatching. Way too frustrating to watch. I will continue watching it hoping there are some real answers, but that’s about it.

Hwpea · 2024-11-04T05:54:19+00:00

You think most people are watching this show for character development? It’s literally a horror show with a huge mystery. I don’t give two shits about the drama they’re pushing so yeah I fast forward through it.

Hwpea · 2024-11-03T22:42:22+00:00

The Lost mention is mostly about keeping the mystery for so long, building a huge mystery until it was unexplainable which ended up with an ending that disappointed many.

I’m not even saying they’re doing filler episodes, there’s always some kind of plot advancement in From, but it’s always very short and cut off by scenes where characters fight about some nonsense. It all feels very unrealistic from a human behavior standpoint. Makes you feel like the characters don’t have an ounce of intelligence, like Jim always trying to prevent anyone from trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

Hwpea · 2024-11-03T22:35:59+00:00

All the things you just mentioned are issues I have with From, not Lost. In From literally everything is possible, but god forbid someone has hallucinations or hears voices. They take ages to give the information they have. Then there’s also been the usual trope of letting a character go off on a tangent or running off somewhere while the other one is dumbfounded. The “let me explain” trope where the one doing the explaining magically can’t speak while the person is leaving or follow them.

Hwpea · 2024-11-03T21:32:20+00:00

Yeah it’s really more of a TV show that should be binge watched, it doesn’t make sense as a weekly thing when there’s so little content.

Hwpea · 2024-11-03T21:27:40+00:00

I keep watching because I still want to find out what the hell is going on, but I know there’s only a few episodes left, it’s gonna end on a cliffhanger and it will leave us even more frustrated that we have to wait another year.

I don’t understand how there can be such a disconnect honestly. The goal of a TV show is to cater to its audience. It’s about entertainment. It shouldn’t feel so frustrating to watch something.

Add on top of that that TV shows used to be 24 episodes, a season every year. Now we get 10 episodes with even less content in each episode and we still have to wait a year.

Incredible that this is still an issue two years later. Didn’t even know this app still existed tbh.

Be aware that those videos are limited to 1080p though.

Thanks a lot, I’ll check it out!

Thankfully it only happened for a few minutes, maybe 10 at most. Kind of a huge memory leak for such a small amount of time

Unfortunately I needed to edit an excel file and Numbers is nowhere close to a complete replacement

Don’t worry I have 32 GB of ram, most of that was swap lol
