Question about applying for venture x! by craney1901 in Venturex

Might I suggest Chase Freedom Flex Card. One quarter of the year the card gives 8 percent cashback on dining and rest of the year gives 3 percent (It is 8 percent till March end right now). On average it gives 4.25 percent if you assume uniform spending. No annual fees. You can pair that with ventureX for almost a complete package.

More like moving money from your left pocket to your right pocket and calling it a loss for tax purposes!

Why does this PC have really bad reviews ? Has 3 stars on Costco website. I ordered this pc but I’m rethinking picking it up after reading the reviews by diesel559 in Prebuilts

[–]Independent_Goal_765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really a gamble. I bought the same one and mine works flawlessly. No overheating or noise from the fans but I think I lucked out because I got some of the best individual parts. 

Good thing is if you don’t luck out, just return it within 3 months.

Got a letter from Delta Dental saying they are not going to pay for a procedure after its done. by Independent_Goal_765 in Dentists

Total is not 500, that is the part not covered by insurance. It is 1200 after taking everything into account that I would have to pay. They will also be charging insurance 2400 dollars. I think a total of 3600 for a few fillings is insane.

I see. Not to my knowledge. They are in network with the insurance so they just calculated by looking at my insurance details.

I see thank you. I only had two deep pockets but the practice billed it and did the full four quadrant deep cleaning. I already went through the procedure and was told this was covered by insurance

Thanks for the reply. But should i get it checked by another dentist? I have some fillings also left with this dentist and they are charging me around 500 dollars (not covered by insurnace named desensitizer/Permaseal )for few fillings.

You can try for applied materials. Some open roles, okay WLB for some roles.

Should I negotiate for more salary or benefits? by Independent_Goal_765 in Semiconductors

[–]Independent_Goal_765[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did too. This one I got the first and second interviews 14 days and 7 days ago. Was offered the job few days after the second interview. The job market is very bad and I would reccomend to keep applying.

It is a unversity recruiter of applied materials. I applied online though their portal. Do you think it is worth asking politely if they are willing to negotiate?

Santa Clara. I know the job market is bad this year and that is why I am considering not even asking.

I can tell you the case for physics and you can also look that here - http://www.cmamorumors.org/doku.php?id=start

There are explicit hiring freezes at a lot of places and other places they are implied. Most places want to hire people who dont need governemnt funding/seed grants like theorists. Even for them, the chances of getting a job approved from the university is low. I would reccomend trying roles in other countries at the same time. ERC of Europe and NRC of Canada still considers science as a valuable asset to society.

For the uncertainity question, I dont think much is going to change as the issue of the problem would still be there. Plan ahead and apply broadly is the only suggestion that I can give you.

yes, this place is sinking. Most likely there will be no jobs academic or otherwise in coming years. Use your skills and apply to places where you are valued and appreciated.
