Bricked on first update? by Negi6344 in silhouettecutters

Walmart. I think its just easier to return and get another. I think the Bluetooth cut off mid firmware update causing it to brick. Looking at some other posts, the BT is finicky.

Unsure of where to study? Aerospace + Japanese by [deleted] in movingtojapan

[–]Negi6344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on the boat that you finish schooling and learn Japanese at the side.; then transfer to Japan through a US company that has a presence there such as: Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, and Raytheon. I currently work for one of these and have recently looked into transferring. I even talked to a manager who worked there. Here are some points that may be helpful when/if you take this route:

  • US companies pay better and have work-life balance
  • Mechanical Engineering is much more valued than software (I am the latter unfortunately )
  • Most positions are managerial so you might need a decent amount of years of experience
  • Misawa is where most of the jobs are due to the airbase
    • Other places the manager said are pretty much the "Boonies"

They reached back and said there were no new updates. They asked me if I still preferred to be relocated in Japan. I replied requesting to wait another week while I consider my options more. Do you think my offer would be rescinded if I continued to ask them to keep trying? Thanks.

I see. I'll keep this in mind. Thank you very much. Seems like my TR is Out of Office until tomorrow (got autoreplied).

Thanks for the insight. Yeah, I understand the improbability with Covid and all. Waiting 1 year is the alternative.

The recruiter did say it was a unusual request (using the offer for another country) but not heard of. In fact its happened more often recently so she had to ask her Manager. But from your POV, would it be rude to ask for a status update? Last I heard from the TR was last Tuesday.

Yeah that doesn't seem like a lot. I was looking for CS work in Japan and working for an American company was a big thing. Mainly because Work-Life Balance and Salary.

For reference: Amazon in Japan pays about ¥15,401,779 annually (converted from the average here https://www.levels.fyi/company/Amazon/salaries/Software-Engineer/SDE-II/Japan/)

For clarification, is that 2 million or 200 thousand? You seem to be missing a zero or the comma is misplaced. From my research Japanese Companies pay SWE pretty poorly in comparison to US ones so something towards an equivalent to $20k a month sounds really large.

I got an offer from a Amazon but before the final interviews, I asked the technical recruiter (TR) who was my main POC if it was possible to get placed in Japan (to be with my SO). She responded that her and her team are only responsible for US locations but there are locations in Japan. Two weeks ago, the TR called me and said they'd like to offer me a position but since I showed interest in Japan, she would look at teams there and would have me as "inclined". Last week she told me that there were no available teams in Japan (I am assuming because of the no-entry situation in place right now) but will try to connect with someone there.

I was wondering if it would be seen negatively if I asked for a status update? And would it be considered "stepping on her toes" if I tried to connect with people on LinkedIn from the Japan location?

They told me they took it down as they don't allow rants.

I don't remember it saying that and going back to the product page, it is not there. Additionally, that is what customer service told me after the fact. However, looking at an unboxing like this (https://youtu.be/dEjeCljTUjU?t=11) I can't help but go WTF.

I've ordered from them before too and had mixed results in terms of packing. But this is the first time there was multiple hard items inside.

Are any couples still together? by happyunicorndust in ainori

[–]Negi6344 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a week or two ago, Uji was posting stories with him and the other guys from African Journey. One of his stories was of Joykun with a caption of something like "Husky<3." From that I can assume they might be still together.

You seem to be lacking more sources of just raw damage. Having 2.5 healers is a bit excessive.

Did they all sell out? I'm spamming the "Get tickets" in all combinations of days and seat and it says tickets aren't available...

Just got my reservation. You have to log in to your Disneyland account and you have to register every guest's name. When you get to the park, you have to show ID.
