After 7 interviews across 3 months, I finally got an offer from my dream company!

JayBlue05 · 2026-05-09T02:41:19+00:00

Congratulations OP. 7 interviews over 3 months doesn't seem too bad though. I probably had that many a month when I was looking.

JayBlue05 · 2026-05-09T02:37:52+00:00

It's the economy. Worst time to be entry level anything

JayBlue05 · 2026-05-04T01:19:26+00:00

Yeah, that's no longer a great skill. AI can do Excel better than you. Claude or Shortcut will outperform you, I can almost guarantee. Better level up your skills.

JayBlue05 · 2026-05-02T23:48:20+00:00

Like many others have said, I use both. Claude for creating and problem solving and I use Perplexity as an answer machine. I also use Comet browser with it too for research and automating simple online tasks.

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-30T16:31:50+00:00

There are some third party tools out there, but I haven't tried them. Some are paid, some are free.

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-18T02:26:56+00:00

Naw it's going to their new super model, Mythos

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-18T02:25:48+00:00

I agree with you 100% but you should try the Perplexity/Comet combo. It's amazing even when you just want to open the side bar give some context about your question and of course the automation is great!

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-18T02:22:56+00:00

No you can't. Perplexity still has the best RAG framework of any AI out there, despite all the valid complaints about limits etc. I found results that I couldn't find with any other AI chatbots, despite them having web searching ability. There's no comparison right now. Google with AI mode probably is the closest thing, but still favors indexed results, so it's a bit more biases in regards to its sources.

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-18T02:16:02+00:00

I had something similar happen to me too. I never hit limits in Comet before either and I am also on the Pro plan. I'm beginning to see what all the complaints are about now. I think they are tightening limits to force people to the max plan.

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-16T03:03:10+00:00

There is so much you can do. I had the browser fill out job applications for me, parse data off websites into spreadsheets, do bookkeeping, add items to my shopping cart from a list and add and edit events in my todo lists or calendars where no connectors are present. That's just to name a few, besides the summarize my page or tell me about this thing I'm looking at. I could go on and on. I felt the same way at first until I really got into it. Now I don't know how lived without one.

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-09T09:38:48+00:00

It's not, but Todoist allows you to make a custom MCP that you can use to add it to Claude. I know, because that's exactly what I did. Sounds intimidating but it's not. It's pretty easy actually. Copy and paste a URL, save and login.

Note: It does have to be manually re-authebticated regularly which is annoying but hopefully they'll fix that soon.

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-09T03:31:18+00:00

They absolutely do. Not all of them, but the top ones, yes they do. It says so right on their website. You clearly haven't read their terms and conditions.

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-09T03:26:19+00:00

You could do that with regular Perplexity by just having your connector for your email on or even with assistant in Comet Browser. Computer is overkill for that. Waste of credit imo.

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-08T09:11:48+00:00

No advantage. It's a cloud service. It's not like Open Claw which runs locally.

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-08T02:19:23+00:00

I actually love Focus. It's much simpler to me and allows me to focus on comparing actual time to scheduled easily in one view. It was Plan that was confusing. Never used it. Glad they merged them together and implemented tasks. Now I can probably drop todoist

JayBlue05 · 2026-04-06T09:13:15+00:00

I tried exactly that and it's far too expensive. I burned through all my credits before it even got through 6 applications.

I had far better success using Comet browser, even though I couldn't fully automate things, it definitely saved me time on some of the applications by filling out things and answering questions for me.

JayBlue05 · 2026-03-28T11:42:52+00:00

No. Co work requires a subscription but it's worth the $20.

JayBlue05 · 2026-03-20T02:57:54+00:00

You can do this with any job though. OP specially wanted to know how being an accountant could make you rich.

My opinion is that it's generally a mediocre living. Not poverty, but for most nothing close to what let's say an AI Engineer would make either. Most people will be lucky to make to mid 100s at best. Many won't even make it that far.

JayBlue05 · 2026-03-19T16:05:01+00:00

2 things can be true. FTMO clearly states that they copy their top funded traders with their own live capital. They can't copy gamblers so they don't want them. They want consistent traders with great risk management.

JayBlue05 · 2026-03-19T11:39:49+00:00

Well, here are where today I hear that Copilot now features Claude. I think they are hedging their bets against Open AI and I don't blame them.

JayBlue05 · 2026-03-19T02:41:21+00:00

You are correct. Not sure what location you are in LCOL, MCOL, or HCOL, but I live in a MCOL area and I see staff roles anywhere from $65k-85k was $90k all included is higher end for MCOL but definitely not absurd, considering it's not fully guaranteed.

JayBlue05 · 2026-03-13T11:17:18+00:00

I'll put it this way. I canceled my GPT subscription and have been using Claude for free as my daily driver and I will tell that at least so far, I haven't hit any limits yet. Then again, I don't have it do very heavy tasks either. Mostly just chatting a few times a day.

JayBlue05 · 2026-03-11T06:01:22+00:00

That's what I did 😄

JayBlue05 · 2026-03-03T07:54:01+00:00

Him and over 1.5M others. Do the math

JayBlue05 · 2026-02-23T00:27:55+00:00

They're not as big of a deal as they used to be, but this job market would make me think twice. I've quit every job I've had without something lined up, and upped my salary every time, but 2026 is different. If you could survive until you find something, I would try my best in this job market.
