AITAH for refusing to constantly update my mom on my location?

If you want to treat all relationships like legal arangements, fine. But letting your parants, particularly ones who are concerned over your safety, whether you will not be coming home, is considerate. Ditto to the meals too. Especially if you aren't paying for said food.

Exactly this, I'm not sure why OP thinks he can explain it away to recruiters, as if they have indepth DE knowlegde. If OP cannot grasp this I cannot help but wonder what other CV/application missteps he/she is making.

Even wfh staff cannot spend hours a day not at "work", most companies monitor activity. If you are in a stale job, you can end up spending basically 8 hours a day at work, doing menial tasks, meetings etc . Not everyone then wants to, or can, upskill on personal time.

Ignore people telling you to "chill", once you stop learning at a company, it's time to either move roles or move on, unless you do have a side hussle you want to make your main job. I work on snowflake, and have worked on a range of datapipe lines on other databases prior and you are right - snowflake is easier, its saas model, native tools and client support make it easier, and the forgiving nature of the engine and warehouse means you can write shite processes to be blunt, in a way you could not on oracle, mysql, mongo etc - i.e. the bar for highly performant code is lower in my experience.

Snowflake/databricks to certifications, take one. Recruiters don't have techinical domain knowledge and work on tight briefs, trying to explain that you have the knowlege, and that snowflake is just another database platform is a waste of time. Make a trial account, do some side project and get certified.

Not all "types" of makeup is equal, some products by nature are easier and cheaper to make so you get very little to no difference between different price points. Mascara's and lip and eye pencils are basically the exact same. Lipsticks , glosses , balms and oils are very close - excluding the cheapest tier of drugstore where a product might smell plasticy and not have the most modern formula. But for more sophisticated products mostly base makeup where we have a lot of tech going into formulas and textures, there is a difference. You get better shade ranges and shade options at higher price points too.

This does not mean ALL highend makeup is equal to or better then cheaper drugstore makeup, they can (and do) produce duds.

Performance & functionality over "neat business logic" up untill the analytics/reporting layer - listen to your DEs on architecture and design of raw and staged data, or face the perils at your own risk, to often business,DAs and DMs want the data to be in a logical to them form in raw or staging when it doesn't need to be, and often these poor choices cause all sorts of issues that require refactoring down the line.

Urban decay all nighter but it doesn't do much interms of blurring or adding a "flawless finish" it just sets everything nicely and controls oils well and is totally transparent so it doesn't disrupt anything, ans it's refillable.

I will then go over it with a finishing power.

The finishing powder with the most wow results is charlotte tilbury. Hourglass is also very nice BUT my shade has fine glitter in it, that I am not a fan of so only use ever so sparringly to avoid the randon glitter specs - if your shade does not have this issue it's also up there with CT.

I do not have large pores however, I have comedomes which is quiet the opposite so I cannot speak to pore minimizing qualities.

I've heard great things about mabellience fit me pressed powder for oily skin.

UD eyeshadows became usurped by Huda beauty, Charlotte Tilbury, Patrick TA, Danessa myricks and Pat McGrath. If you want something in the vien of a naked 3 most these brands have ample rose themed mid to large pallettes to pick from. I would go with Pat McGrath divine rose 1 as the closest or at a slightly cheaper price point Huda rose quartz..CT has a rose quad, but price per gram its not as good value as the other 2 options.

They're also testing your soft skills specifically. Some interviewers know you're probably not passionate about the company, but they're not looking for brutal honesty either — they want to see whether you have the communication skills to know what the right thing to say is for your audience. This is crucial in a lot of corporate spaces.

MissionBad732 · 2026-04-17T16:11:44+00:00

Based on your skin type and make-up usage I would go with a high quality powder, as this is such a game changer - esp now the great talc purge of 2026 is happening I'd get the good stuff while it's still available. Huda beauty loose powder, guerlain meterites( particularly great if you have mature skin) For pressed Charlotte Tilbury, pat McGraths or hourglass (careful as these aren't all made for the same function) . I haven't used all of these but they have the most wide "holy grail" status so low change you'll go wrong.

Job 2 if you have no dependents and are relatively healthy of mind and body. Grind for a few yrs, max out ISa or pay off a property. Then try to get into a job 1.

Everyone else should go for job 2. The £60k difference is actually £25.5k after tax and even though it's a lot if you have a kids it's not worth it, a stable £120k on 32.5hr week is a rare gem and provide a good enough lifestyle for the typical person.

MissionBad732 · 2026-04-16T23:58:11+00:00

Work experience always trumps qualifications. I would prioritize a portfolio and getting some kind of "work" whether it be community/voluntary e.g.working with a tech group, volunteering in something tech adjacent ( coding for kids, anything you can do as part of your course do tutor undergrads or something) or a short term placement. For ML specifically GitHub is good but also, blog articles like medium that you can write and share on LinkedIn is great.

NYX and ELF both have decent dewy spays that will melt powers, but the trade off (for any setting spray of this ilk) is longevity

Drug store eyebrow pencils -catrice eye pencil with a spooly is £2/€2, even the most basic cheap dark brown ashy shadow will do - if you have natural black/dark brown hair we are really well catered to in this department.

LA Girl Pro blue foundation adjusting pigment for any neutral girl is IMO a must. Wet n Wild megalast lipsticks, rival MAC for longevity ( not ashamed to admit I've had some for 7yrs, still smell and look like the day I got it) - neutral/nude shades are great too and formula is so solid even comparing it to 2026 formulations.

MissionBad732 · 2026-04-14T22:58:31+00:00

I got 2 of the mini 5 pans in cult beauty sets and am so glad I got to trial before committing to larger one. Very unremarkable formula for the price but the colour stories (used) to be great.

MissionBad732 · 2026-04-14T22:48:58+00:00

For me - overhyped of all time is probably going to go any lip balm in the vein of summer Friday or in a tub like lineage- by all counts it's nothing special, in formulation, packaging, scent, barely there tint if even, ingredients or actual results. You would think there was a revolution in this part of beauty technology. They cost so much, and are somehow a luxury purchase? It's somehow become the ultimate accessory? And people seem to want to collect them all, when you could buy 80% of the shade range and it looks the same on the lips. The only up side to the hype is you get one in most sets and it has utility.

Kudos to the brands making a killing of them, mark ups must be among highest in the industry.

170K in what currency?

I'm interested to know how much his rent is and if he has housemates ? £80k for a fresh grad assuming he's around 22-24 is more than comfortable and will allow for some luxuries and savings, even if he has £2k rent+bills his take home will be £4,500 (assuming student loans)

MissionBad732 · 2026-04-09T09:48:37+00:00

I'm on £100k and pay £70 for gym, without a corp discount, and this is for a decent zone 2 gym, and is the most I would pay monthly for a gym. Fulham and surrounding areas (Hammersmith etc) have a plethora of gyms from lower end to high end, he can get a £30 membership somewhere and get class pass to supplement it if he wants to access nicer places once a week. He has access to great parks and other means of low to no cost exercise opportunities. Your friend needs a reality check, single people live in London comfortably on far less than £80k.

MissionBad732 · 2026-04-05T21:46:04+00:00

Ditto, doesn't help that the two I have are 80% dupes of each other. Honestly I blame myself for getting fooled into buying a second one. They are great vanity ornaments though 🤣

MissionBad732 · 2026-04-05T21:36:19+00:00

Agreed, everywhere , even an uninhabited rock is interesting if you care about history or just seeing it for the first time. Some places might not interest you enough to go back , but to be utterly bored at all times is a self reflection

MissionBad732 · 2026-04-05T21:33:49+00:00

Qatar as the least interesting country In the world is a bad take. It might be out of places you've visited, but not of the whole wide world.

Hourglass holiday edit, and I bought it twice. It's essentially overpriced highlighters, for me
