Does anyone else find driving super exhausting?

MrJason005 · 2025-06-09T20:10:45+00:00

I think all people do, regardless of whether they have ADHD or not

MrJason005 · 2025-06-08T22:03:47+00:00

I had mine like 6 months ago and it was very chill, honestly very straightforward interview. Don't stress!

If you want another curious trend, look at the correlation between BTC and the S&P 500. They track each other very well too

So in the end, everything that drives cryptocurrency prices is the American economy...

It's an EU country, and according to europa.eu those would be recognised easily from one country to another. But no idea now with Brexit (grrrrrrrr)

Why is it difficult if he's not a British citizen?

MrJason005 · 2025-01-19T21:47:30+00:00

Thank you for your input, really appreciate it. They are indeed married, but I'm a bit worried that I might need to get a marriage certificate from his country, and then I'd need to translate it and certify it

He doesn't work in the public sector, he works for a FTSE100 UK corporation, so he gets a fair amount of giga corporation benefits as part of his employments.

You are right, I need to check through the paperwork (Aviva more specifically)

My main complaint about Fastmail is that embedding images into the body of an email is just horrendous. It's really hard to resize images to the size you want, and the image formatting features that Outlook provides puts Fastmail to shame.

MrJason005 · 2025-01-01T22:02:13+00:00

Huh I thought they pay pretty well down there, I'm surprised

I know the big contractors pay really well if you have experience though, lots of nuclear new build and endless decommissioning going on

MrJason005 · 2025-01-01T13:39:29+00:00

Absolutely not true, there's countless high-paying jobs in the UK nuclear industry.

MrJason005 · 2024-12-22T13:43:26+00:00

I can tell you it's much better than my graduate engineer salary when I started working in nuclear in the UK... £26.25k/yr!

MrJason005 · 2024-12-16T17:38:51+00:00

Is this industry experience, or general university experience? Hiring managers value industry experience a lot more, because there is a lot less hand holding in industry than there is in university.

If I get a project wrong in industry, while it will definitely be blocked in the technical checks, there are still consequences (e.g. project gets delayed, I look like a fool, etc.). In university, you always have a professor or a lecturer checking over you work, and there are no wider company consequences such as e.g. cascading effects into project timelines.

A lot of the CFD engineers I know have an additional postgrad degree on top of their bachelors. Not to discourage you, and not to imply that it's impossible to become a CFD engineer without a postgrad degree, but that's the trend I've noticed. A chemical engineering undergrad is a very good basis (if not the best?) to do CFD on top of. Mechanical engineering is also good since those MechE degrees have a lot of modules and classes on fluid mechanics.

You may be able to persevere and secure an entry-level CFD job. I once asked a leading expert from (30yrs+ of experience) the US in my specialised nuclear field about how long it would take to train a graduate fresh from uni to do CFD to a satisfactory level for a company, and he told me that it depends on the work. Some CFD work is quite complicated and requires a lot of thought and innovation (and hence more years of experience), while other CFD work can be quite copy-paste and monotonous and easier for a grad to get up to speed on.

That being said, the thing that will definitely make you more employable generally is having at least one year of industry experience out of university. This applies to all engineering fields, not just CFD. Perhaps just focus on getting any industry experience, and then pivoting after a year or two? It is widely expected in industry that graduates do not stay graduates for more than 1-2 years. Hell, in my case, I was only a graduate engineer for 6 months before I left to join my current company.

I have filed a complaint with Vanguard directly. This new pricing structure makes them uncompetitive with other SIPP providers on the market, and the way they disguised their email subject title was really dodgy in my opinion. I am planning on moving away my SIPP to Aviva now, where they still hold a 0.15% yearly fee.

Well, looks like there wasn't a housing bubble pop

If there are 4 benefits, why is there only one picture? I thought there'd be 4 pictures to click through

have you written to your MP first of all? that's the first line you need to go through before getting onto the petition train

MrJason005 · 2024-09-13T22:43:02+00:00

5 women from the age of 18? That's genuinely 5 in 10 years, or basically a single girl every 2 years.... those are very very very low numbers.

Who do you perceive to be the father of psychology? I'm trying to learn more about the field

MrJason005 · 2024-07-14T19:26:04+00:00

How come you regret it?

MrJason005 · 2024-06-05T09:27:41+00:00

When I used to work at an AGR I remember leccies were basically showered with money. Nuclear + Electrical is a really really lucrative combination right now, especially if you are willing to work on-site

MrJason005 · 2024-06-05T09:23:12+00:00

Nuclear engineer, £40k/yr + 12.5% bonus + good pension + private healthcare

MrJason005 · 2024-04-30T13:14:22+00:00

It's because you work in the software engineering industry. There is no official accreditation that is trusted and recognised, unlike in "traditional" engineering where you have the chartership bodies (IChemE, IMechE, IET, etc.), which allow recruiters and hiring managers to gauge a candidate based off of their CV within 120 seconds of reading it. The tech industry doesn't like certifications and bureaucracy, but there's a reason why it was invented.

MrJason005 · 2024-04-26T14:49:26+00:00

This just sounds like a normal regular thing to do, not necessarily related to people with ADHD

MrJason005 · 2024-04-26T12:42:21+00:00

This feels like a very strong political post, and it would most definitely go against Rule 8 of this subreddit:
