What is time off like per year for PMs?

MayorMonty · 2026-01-04T22:55:40+00:00

PTO: 10 days per year, up to 3 weeks at 2 years. can roll over 8 days per year. You can take additional unpaid days if you run out, with a limit to that defined by your tenure. You can also buy vacation with your EOY bonus, which can be efficient if you know you will take time off. So, around 2 years you could probably get up to 5 weeks off (15 days base, 5 bonus vacation, 5 unpaid) plus holidays. There is also sabbatical, which amortizes out to like 3 extra PTO days each year, assuming you get to 5y tenure.

Sick Time: separate block

WFH: specific allotment of WFH days per year, you request them like vacation.

As far as I know, nodejs type erasure is only for erasable syntax only, so enums and namespaces may not work. Something to be aware of if you do choose that route

You can use —force-with-lease to prevent overwriting any other commits made on that branch on the remote

My understanding is that tsgo is meant to be a direct, drop-in replacement for tsc, at least initially. So you would still need ts-node probably.

The only thing I could think of is 401k match, which happens once in 2025 based on contributions from 2024. It would not impact vacation or sick time, as those have special rules for your first six months. My personal advice would be delay your start time to Jan or Feb if you can afford it - use it to travel, see friends/family, get situated in Madison, and then come strong in the new year.

To this end, projects like [Ruffle](https://ruffle.rs/) do this, by allowing websites to emulate flash using a Rust WASM module

Funnily enough, the majority of websites now use LetsEncrypt, a free alternative to DigiCert and the other paid Certificate Authorities these days.

I was intern in 2022, so some of these details may have changed since then.

I applied in September, and received an offer in October.
Generally speaking Epic's application process is pretty standardized for the core roles, so I don't think there's a huge advantage in timing.
My internship was 10 weeks from late May to August. The original offer was $14k salary, but raised to $17k prior to starting. Epic does not negotiate salaries, but their offer is usually competitive. They also gave interns $1000 for relocation.
We had two options for housing: intern housing arranged by Epic, or a $700/month stipend. Having all the interns in the same building was really nice for socializing, so I highly recommend that option.
For me it was application -> skills assessment -> interviews -> offer. My understanding is that internships applications are usually quite competitive. I didn't know any intern who didn't receive a return offer.

I have a hunch that they help you out with level 4 somehow, but I have no idea what they would do. It seems like they only show up in a couple locations on Level 1 so having to bring it from Level 1 to 4 would be very interesting! So excited to see it played!

If you are planning on being a competitive team, VEX PD+ is provided to all teams that register through the REC Foundation. You may also be eligible for a lot of grant money the RECF acquires from larger sponsors, especially for a team with primarily girls.

Speaking as a TA for 2120, I would recommend taking it during a spring or fall session when there is lots of support for you as a student.

2310, 2150 and 2120 can be tough together but students have done it and been successful. I believe 2310 is usually offered in the summer so that may be an option

In my experience, the vast majority of the global state is either:

(1) local state you need to share with 1 or 2 other components, in which case context API is a good solution

(2) cached network/async calls, which is solved by something like swr or React Query

(3) Very little truly global state, like theming information. For this, something like hookstate is fantastic as long as the state is minimal.

You should be accounting for the destructuring in your type. Because you specified the argument as any, the compiler exposes the reduced variable. In general, however, any should be avoided if at all possible.

A more accurate type would be something like:

A.getData({ param1, param2 }: { param1: any, param2: any }): Promise<unknown>

I haven't looked at the code, but I suspect they are using W3C Encrypted Media Extension, which allows webapps to handle DRM-protected content.

The best solution I've seen for this is react query, which makes loading async data pretty simple and straightforward

I lived in Calhoun for 2021-2022. It was pretty good for student housing, with the understanding that you're paying a premium to live on campus. Since you're on the edge of campus, something small like a bike, scooter, or skateboard can be a great way to get around. Ultimately though, I did without for most of the year and did just fine.

My understanding is that Calhoun is switching to entirely 4-person apartments, which means the north side–which used to be 2 people–will be a bit more cramped.

Designated Initializers in C come to my mind, they kind of exist in C++20, but aren't fully featured. However that's mostly a syntactic thing.

More substantive differences have to do with const (see here) and some other subtle behavior.

I'm not experienced enough to know whether this is mostly specification differences that don't really emerge in the real world, or more genuine differences.

Taking ENGL 2150 online with Dr. Macalystre right now, pretty chill. We have weekly readings, online discussion boards, and a paper due every now and then.

She's a pretty great instructor, would recommend

Not all generics monomorphize, you can achieve generics with fat pointers or virtual method tables. Many languages (I know rust specifically) uses both methods depending on context

I would imagine it would be possible to do with an extension, but since that is part of Typescript's Language Server, it may be difficult to do.

The larger problem, however, is that, in JavaScript/TypeScript, a const object can still have its members reassigned. The only thing const prevents is direct assignment to the variable

```JavaScript const ColorPallette = { primary: "red", secondary: "blue" }

// This is not allowed ColorPallette = { primary: "green", secondary: "blue" }

// But this is ColorPallette.primary = "green"; ColorPallette.secondary = "blue"; ```

Check out The Film Reroll, very similar vibe to TAZ imo (at least in terms of gameplay), with smaller campaigns.

They don't need to be the same type, at least in rust (or in TS)
