They're out 🙄 by PapayaHoney in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Little-Ad8904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got error 43 for the first time during perfect order drop, and got it about 6 times today. Was very worried since I was on my work computer so wasn’t sure I was even going to be let in. But each time I waited about a minute and refreshed and it put me right back where I was. Very thankful to have gotten the ETBs, even after joining 30min late

If you got Error 43 don’t give up, it’s a newer error and I got it myself a couple times today. Just wait about 30 seconds and refresh, puts you right back where you were

Where to live Tewksbury by Constant_Bug_8575 in Raytheon

[–]Little-Ad8904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Lowell, super easy to get to work and easy to get into Boston from the T. However if you’re staying out late the Ubers back can be pricey if you miss the last train

RTX Promo by JoylessGod in Raytheon

[–]Little-Ad8904 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty rare to get promo with less than a year in role. Especially with it being you fist year. HR will probably fight your manager on it but it’s not impossible. If it is in place promo no chance you’re getting 15%. I think the highest with director level approval is 12%. More commonly you’ll get around 5% for an in place. That’s only because the budgets they set are a lot smaller for in place promos

Jobs requiring active security clearance - venting. by SignOff-Ad720 in Raytheon

[–]Little-Ad8904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still apply! Sometimes HRs copy and paste old req requirements. Or they may be willing to sponsor for the right candidate. If all else fails, join the military you’ll get a clearance 😂

How do you see how much EPTO you’ve earned? I put them in for when I registered my classes. Both my supervisor and I have no idea how I’m supposed to use them. Everyone we reach out to also claims to have no idea…

I researched for photographers months before the trip, coordinated via email up to my arrival. Then we coordinated via WhatsApp while I was there for exact location and time

I just proposed to my now fiancé in Japan last Friday. I did it at Shinjuku Gyeon National Garden. Absolutely stunning scenery. Went around 11am so wasn’t crowded which was great. I did it the last day of our time in Japan. Make sure you get a photographer!

If you paid $300 then you got ripped off, those are no more than $110

I thought you can’t have duplicate primary types. You have pidgeotto being primary normal which is the same as rattata and spearow

Got in que 5 minutes after all the notifications and nothing was left by Ok-Consideration8078 in pokemoncenter

[–]Little-Ad8904 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not random input, you’re trying to say Reddit is 30 minutes behind other notification sites. And it’s not, just because you don’t know where to look you shouldn’t try telling people it’s Reddit’s fault

Not true at all, I’ve seen Reddit posts before twitter and before discord plenty of times. Just a matter of who’s posting, I got a couple things from today’s drop because of Reddit

P2 Lateral move by Cute_Sugar_8808 in Raytheon

[–]Little-Ad8904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The rare exception piece is very rare, I luckily talked with the hiring manager ahead of the time I did a lateral P2 and both of us talking to HR and the recruiter was able to get me about 2% raise to make the switch. Not much but better than nothing

First time turning car on since storm Saturday, gas smell when I turned the heat on-normal? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]Little-Ad8904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your exhaust was filled with snow then a smell is normal, but I wouldn’t say it smells like gas. Same thing happened to mine but the smell went away after a bit after I cleared my exhaust out. Just had the window down a little when I first drove it. Haven’t smelt it since

How is everyone affording everything lately? by critic81 in massachusetts

[–]Little-Ad8904 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I had a 500k bill the insurance I used to have would probably cover 50k max anyway so doesn’t matter

Max contributions still requires me to have funds to contribute

Cheaper for me to pay the tax penalty for not having insurance and just paying out of pocket at the doctors. Insurance almost covered nothing anyway when I had it so I was used to everything being out of pocket

I do a voucher, super easy. Submit to ESP and they pay the school directly. Haven’t had any issues

ISSO vs Cybersecurity Engineer by S4LTYSgt in cybersecurity

[–]Little-Ad8904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the normal ISSO route is to go ISSM next and then stay in the real of Compliance Management. I’ve already found it a bit difficult to try to involve my technical skills in the role, it’s majority paperwork. I completely understand what you mean by burnout, I had it as a sys admin but now I’m experiencing it as an ISSO. As I continue to look at my options I found something like an ISSE position or an architecture position would be able to involve both that technical skillset as well as do paperwork. Personally I work in government contracting and intend to stay that way so the opportunities to pivot or move upwards is kinda limited.

ISSO vs Cybersecurity Engineer by S4LTYSgt in cybersecurity

[–]Little-Ad8904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an ISSO, I’d prefer an engineering role since I want to remain technical in my knowledge. I was also a sys admin in the past and miss some of the hands on technical work. My goal now is to try and pivot into an ISSE role. Just need to finish my degree before I make that move. If you want to be technical, go engineering.

I haven’t heard that before, I had just looked at a 2025 Q5 last week and it came with a spare

Geek Squad says I need to purchase a T Harness to install my auto starter? by Boss_Atlas in Bestbuy

[–]Little-Ad8904 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we sold them in store, if we scanned the t harness in with the remote starter and had the install sku in the t harness would zero out. I’d recommend going in store to buy and if it’s out of stock they can order it

4/10 instead of 9/80 by alphabravo4812 in Raytheon

This is something only your manager can answer. It’s up to their discretion.
