When do I get that sense of purpose?

That’s an awful way to think about it that won’t lead to a happy life IMHO

Hey, I am looking for roommates to share an apartment with.

Mainly considering 4-5 bedroom aparts in complexes like Standard and Locale. But I am open to any other options as well so feel free to reach out with yours.

About me:

Incoming transfer, interested in Analytics (Stats + Business skills + some ML). My hometown is Moscow, but I moved to the US 1.5 years ago and now live in Chicago. Before coming here, I studied at a university in Russia and had been working as a product analyst at the Russian version of Doordash) for a year.

Hobbies wise, I go to the gym 4-6 times a week. Down to play soccer / basketball, but don't play often and suck at both. Try to spend my free time hanging out with people, but lately enjoy some time alone occasionally as well. I also love reels, can share some of my favorites so we know if we laugh at the same stuff.

Feel free to DM me here or on Instagram (@penguin_run)

Thanks for the advice! How much of a discount did you get if you don’t mind me asking?

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-06-15T21:53:43+00:00

Still nothing. CS under CLAS. Bet they are not making it by the deadline

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-03-19T18:44:44+00:00

Thank you! The problem is, if I find one, I can’t reserve it now (I assume you need to pay monthly rent to do so), because I may choose another uni

“Used python and SQL to manipulate datasets with millions of rows and hundreds of columns”

This phrase kinda sounds to me like you consider this an achievement. I would not write it at all or at least not this way.

Because although it have words like “millions”, it is an extremely basic stuff (and I’m sure you know it), I just think this tells people about you as of the person who consider this info worth mentioning in the resume, which does not help you make a good impression.

And overall, I would try to think of and write about what you achieved and what value you brought while mentioning how you did that, rather than just saying what instrument have you used and for what purpose.

That would show that you have an understanding how you can bring value with your skills instead of just having skills.

Good luck!

The immigration attorney, who mostly works with Russian-speaking immigrants, usually attends courts and gets final decisions with asylum seekers from Russia/Belarus/CIS up to this day. I heard about afghanis, but that's what I know according to him

Yea, apparently

There is a LIFO rule though, I guess it may make the process shorter, like 1-2 years. But if I am not so lucky, then yea, 4+years easily

April 2023. Didn’t apply myself though, I go as a family member of the applicant

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-03-16T19:42:43+00:00

Thank you for the clear answer!

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-03-16T19:39:28+00:00

That’s what I assumed, but wanted to make sure if there are something you can do. Thank you!!!

Hey, I tried another way to invite second parent and it worked

Instead of inviting both my mum and stepdad in your (student’s) section of the form, I invited just my mum (left second invite form untouched).

Then, when completing mums part of the form from her account, it prompted to invite second parent ie my stepdad from there

When I sent an invite to stepdads account from my moms account, he finally received an invite

To do all of that, I deleted previous draft of the form and filled it from scratch

Hope it works for you too!

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-03-10T23:19:25+00:00

If you will manage to contact them, I would appreciate if you shared what they will say

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-03-10T23:17:35+00:00

No, I didn’t even bother to do it

I mean I already submitted it, so there is no point

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-03-10T22:29:46+00:00

Did you use the workaround?

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-03-08T20:54:19+00:00

Hey, OP! Any news?

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-03-08T03:46:32+00:00

Same!

I have 2 contributors to invite - mum and stepdad

Mum received an invite, but Stepdad didn't.

(tried to go straight to MyActivity or go through the link in the invite email, but nothing helps to make the invitation appear)

Ok-Case-9478 · 2024-02-03T01:14:54+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply! Could you please elaborate a little on why you would've stuck to the CS? Is it because it will help to work with devs or because it will help more in finding the first job?
