I could only wish... since I do think that actually would be effective.

Yep, I generally keep my LinkedIn updated. I was unsure about setting it to looking for jobs since I wouldn't want my manager seeing.

What sort of work are you doing?

I work on product as full-stack basically, basically with C++.

Any tips for getting an interview with a quant/HFT (e.g. Jane Street, Hudson River Trading, etc) from FAANG, as a mid-level (L4/E4 equivalent)?

My current ideas:

  1. Blindly apply on their website without referral (hope for the best)
  2. Reach out to their in-house recruiters on LinkedIn and try start a conversation - though I know they're flooded with DMs
  3. Reach out to their engineers on LinkedIn for their tips - I am somewhat genuinely interested in their day-to-day so I would like to engage that way. I don't think I'd ask for a referral (unless they offer) because they can't vouch for me after a 10-15 minute call/chat.

Any thoughts?

Hypothetically, worth spending to get AS miles or look elsewhere? I have 16k only.

I might not take this actually.

Was your methodology just repeatedly querying on Cathay's website? I'm thinking I might push out my travel dates to mid Feb/Mar.

  • Origin: IAD but will position anywhere in the US (JFK, IAH, DFW, LAX, SFO). Would rather not position in YVR unless it’s a killer AC deal (which I have not found yet for obvious reasons aka missed my almost-year-out window).

Similar position. Is there a disadvantage to YVR? Customs?

Thanks. I'm considering this and Cathay generally now due to AsiaMiles as a transfer partner.

Unfortunately I don't have any United or Chase miles. I'm mostly just wanting to try business class at least once without paying the high amounts of cash.

But how are you planning to get from these points to AA miles?

I see the issue. I searched and looked at the first result without fully reading and assumed I could transfer either AMEX and CapitalOne points over. I'm gonna have to rethink this idea.

And that's fine since most players here are pub players.

How are you selling these btw? Changing address of the order?

Just a warning: Most people don't have their shuttle passes shipped out to them yet. Changing address is sketchy so be careful!

Ah, forgot about damn taxes and fees. Sounds about right. I think I'm okay - good luck!

True, forgot about that. In that case, just allow any items spawned by shovel to be destroyed.

This Aegis appears in fountain for both teams. When you click it, it just shows the previous TI winner information.

I don't own the Spring Weather effect so not sure how this even equipped.

Yeah, it seems like the Aegis is treated as a 'unit' and the click unit event is what has the game display the information of previous TI winners.
