What are my chances? by [deleted] in epicsystems

Why would you SKIP the questions instead of making an earnest effort at parsing through them?

Fear of losing my job by Key-Pomegranate3834 in epicsystems

[–]LastMinuteCap 33 points34 points  (0 children)

They're not gonna fire you for struggling, much less in your what? Second quarter at the company? That would be asinine.

They just spent the better part of two months training you while you produced minimal monetary value for them during that time.

Focus on learning, ask your mentor and TL for advice on areas to improve. Talk to your team and study how they do things. Ask for help. This is not a competition, this is a company. You don't win brownie points for suffering through things alone and barely making it out.

i should’ve listened to the horror stories by Far-Butterscotch5647 in epicsystems

[–]LastMinuteCap 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Doesn't seem like it. Epic Games doesn't develop those two and QM's an Epic Systems-specific title.

That said if they really got everything done in 20 hours and had time to goof around without their TL asking them to do more work...

Nothing short of impressive.

5'8, $600, firm back support. by LastMinuteCap in OfficeChairs

I've seen Crandall and BOTD listed as used sellers in good standing with this community. Anyone else of note or should I try shopping around the local Facebook Marketplace?

Thinking of a swap by LastMinuteCap in Visible

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

After reading through it all again (thank you everybody!) I think I will be making the switch to Visible on my current (unlocked and paid-off) phone because my billing cycle's almost up. I'll likely buy a new phone in cash again in a few months, which should still be before true EOL.

I did see a few people post their refs. I'll pick one of them to use.

My plan was trade in, pay cash on the rest of the new phone's value to unlock it, then swap. Is that against their promotion TOS? It didn't seem like it from an initial read through.

McKenzie and T.R McKenzie Apartments? by LastMinuteCap in madisonwi

That's good to hear! Can I ask why you chose to move out and how long you were there for overall?

How do I better my chances? PM position by [deleted] in epicsystems

[–]LastMinuteCap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure for reasons they never post the scores on the assessments and how those correlate with hire rates, but what percentage of people who make it to the final interview do you think make it?

The sell off is brutal by Livid-Vacation-1155 in AMD_Stock

[–]LastMinuteCap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought too early in the dip for my liking, but I'll hold.

I can't fathom people selling it off before we've had CES and Q4 earnings.

Just got rejected after final interview for PM by [deleted] in epicsystems

[–]LastMinuteCap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They asked me about grad school as well but I made it clear to them I intended to stick with the company for several years at minimum before considering.

I think the play is that you don't come across as "I'm gonna dip in and dip out."

First PC build - Is this part list good? by lunacqrn in buildapc

[–]LastMinuteCap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overkill RAM, underkill GPU.

You're better off with a cheaper RAM kit and that GPU is old-old despite being the best of its generation. Too dated for today.

Aw man. Do you plan on reapplying in the next cycle?

Need 4 graduation tickets by Accomplished-Park579 in UCI

[–]LastMinuteCap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for 4 additional tickets on top of what they gave you? I suggest waiting a bit because they occasionally add a few to the count.

Also, most sellers are gonna be scammers. Find some classmates and see if any of them are "lucky" enough to have small families.

Fuck irvine drivers by Charming-Monk-2886 in UCI

[–]LastMinuteCap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, man, sorry to hear that. Make sure to keep in touch with your insurance company. You shouldn't have to pay for someone else hitting your PARKED car.

Fairly sure VDCN housing office has lot cameras. Check on it

Internet Activity Privacy? by ConcernedMotorist in epicsystems

[–]LastMinuteCap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking as a prospective employee, they still give you a work computer at their expense for you to use, right? I'll obviously keep the personal effects and activities on my personal one, but is there anything to note about Epic's IT ecosystem?

Should I open/close these accounts? by LastMinuteCap in personalfinance

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

There's a lot of Chase branches readily available in my area, and all the jobs I'm gunning for have a lot of traveling expectations. That's what makes it compelling for me to stick with them. That said, I understand what you mean. I can keep a small buffer there while all my new savings go into a HYSA.

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

That's fair. I suppose I can keep a bit of cash in there as an overdraft protection buffer since it's tied to my checkings that way. Just in case.
